20/04/2016
A report from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the EU’s Intellectual Property Office says that counterfeit goods represent 2.5% of all international trade.
A study was carried out on half a million custom seizures between 2011 and 2013 and indicated that the value of counterfeit goods stood at $461 billion. In an earlier study in 2008, the OECD found that counterfeit goods made up 1.9% of global imports.
