Anti-Counterfeiting Week: Over 2,300 Applications of the Made in Italy Law in 9 Months
The Anti-Counterfeiting Week, promoted by the Ministry of Economic Development (MISE), is taking place from 15 to 22 November 2021. The initiative aims to raise awareness about the importance of protecting intellectual property rights and combating counterfeiting, which damages the Italian economy and consumers.
During the Anti-Counterfeiting Week, the Guardia di Finanza (GdF) carried out over 2,300 applications of the Made in Italy Law in the first 9 months of 2021, a 30% increase compared to the same period in 2020. The interventions led to the seizure of over 14 million counterfeit products, with a total value of over 400 million euros.
The most targeted sectors were clothing and accessories (40% of seizures), leather goods (20%), footwear (15%), cosmetics and personal care products (10%), and food and beverages (5%).
The Anti-Counterfeiting Week includes various initiatives, including:
- A conference on “The Protection of Intellectual Property Rights and the Fight against Counterfeiting” at the MISE on 16 November
- A series of webinars on specific aspects of intellectual property protection
- A social media campaign to raise awareness about the issue of counterfeiting
The Minister of Economic Development, Giancarlo Giorgetti, stated that “the fight against counterfeiting is a priority for the Government, which is committed to protecting the Made in Italy brand and supporting businesses that invest in innovation and quality.”
The Anti-Counterfeiting Week is an important opportunity to raise awareness about the importance of intellectual property protection and to highlight the work of the Guardia di Finanza in combating counterfeiting.
