Counterfeit Goods and Organised Crime is an in-depth inquiry into the fake goods trade and the involvement of organised crime groups. In this seminal work, Michael Blakeney comprehensively analyses the impact of counterfeiting on the principal industries affected by it. It looks at international, national and regional counterfeit legislation, organised crime groups and counterfeiting customs control.Through an interdisciplinary analysis, Professor Blakeney assesses the size of the counterfeit goods trade, its drivers, and its impact on commerce, public order and health. The book includes a broad range of case studies focusing on the areas most affected by the counterfeit trade: medicines and pharmaceuticals; food, wines and spirits; luxury goods; vehicle and aircraft parts; and herbicides, fertilisers and pesticides. As counterfeiting is driven by the search for profits, Professor Blakeney argues for disincentivising organised crime groups via the legal confiscation of the proceeds of crime.This innovative book’s examination of the trade in international counterfeit products will interest scholars, practitioners and policy-makers in the fields of trademark law, customs and trade law, and crime and corruption studies. It will also be invaluable for regulators and compliance personnel, legal practitioners and industry representatives.
