Exhibition "Fake goods - Genuine goods 2013"

With this exhibition, the organizer is the Market Management Department (Ministry of Industry and Trade) aiming to propagate and guide people and the business community to raise awareness in the production, purchase, sale and use of goods. This is also the basis for consumers and manufacturing enterprises to participate in eliminating counterfeit goods, fake goods, poor quality goods, goods that violate intellectual property rights...

Look at all the electric bikes on display at the show.

In today's world, it is difficult for consumers to distinguish between genuine and counterfeit goods. Imitation of brands is very popular today, while consumers lack information on how to distinguish between counterfeit and fake goods from suppliers.

The only way consumers need to know is that the vehicle number on the hub must match the number on the factory certificate, but few people pay attention to that. Basically, suppliers lack information to advise consumers, and on the contrary, consumer awareness is still too limited, so fake vehicles have a wide path to develop.

Countless other consumer goods are also counterfeited, increasing in both scale and level of violations, the technology of counterfeiting goods is increasingly sophisticated, making it difficult to distinguish, from high-end to low-end goods. It is easy to see that counterfeit goods have infiltrated every corner of life, appearing in every consumer behavior of eating, dressing, and living of the people. Because of super profits, counterfeit goods are freely displayed, regardless of the control of the authorities.

Mr. Tran Hung, Deputy Director of the Market Management Department, Ministry of Industry and Trade said: "Control is very difficult, because counterfeit goods are very sophisticated, the involvement of functional agencies is not strong and sanctions are very limited."

Since the beginning of the year, the Market Management force nationwide has handled nearly 58,000 violations, while businesses' defense measures are still weak, many businesses are still struggling to know how to protect their brands, and are not even interested in protecting their brands or technological solutions to protect intellectual property.

In addition to businesses, the fight against counterfeit goods also requires synchronous solutions from many ministries and sectors. The representative of the Ministry of Industry and Trade hopes that exhibitions like this will be held more often, in many localities, so that the fight against counterfeit goods will be deeply rooted in each citizen and business. It will be a fight from the awareness of the social community, not just stopping at market inspections and checks.
