It is difficult to estimate how many counterfeit electroluminescent products are in the market. European Commission admitted that in 2006 the number of cases taken by customs involving goods infringing intellectual property rights, as well as the number of articles seized increased dramatically. As a matter of example, in 2006, customs intercepted more than 128 million counterfeit and pirated articles, involving 37.334 cases (European Commission, Summary of Community Customs Activities on Counterfeit and Piracy, Results at the European Border – 2006). The problem of counterfeiting is more widely recognized in the luxury goods industry than in the image consumables industry.
The Luminous Media products that are most counterfeit are our trademarked illuminated apparel lines FLASHWEAR® and T-Qualizer®.
The presence of FLASHWEAR® and T-Qualizer® counterfeits on the market does not only have a financial impact on Luminous Media sales, it also damages the reputation of the Luminous Media brand as many consumers, when they buy a counterfeit product, don’t realize that the poor quality of the product is due to the fact that the product is counterfeit.
