ANTICOUNTERFEITING PUBLIC POLICY ADVOCACY

Combating counterfeiting and piracy is an important but challenging task that cannot be accomplished in isolation. Protection of IPR should not solely remain as a priority of state authorities but needs to be considered as a goal shared broadly by all sectors of society. As a result, public officials, international governmental organizations, industry and even consumers need to work together more closely to develop more creative and effective methods to fight this economic and societal problem.

TURKEY’S COUNTERFEIT MARKET

Turkey has become a source for counterfeit products, especially designer fashion.Turkey is the third largest exporter of counterfeit products to the EU, after China and Hong Kong (based on seizure value). Turkey is involved in the manufacturing and sales of both genuine and counterfeit goods, in addition to being an important transportation hub.
