Chapter 358 Professional Counterfeiters

z

However, it is easy to suppress government officials in fake enterprises and local areas with Fan Wubing’s current connections, but it is somewhat inappropriate to do so.

As the saying goes, a bachelor does not block the way for people and money. Although doing this is more domineering, it is easy to offend people. After all, people rely on this to accumulate political achievements. You fight against counterfeiting for your own interests, and others act as a protective umbrella for your own interests. Compared with the two, your own interests are naturally the most important.

No matter how big a backer you have, as long as you block others' channels for improvement, you will be hated.

Fan Wubing took the time to contact the headquarters and explained his guiding principles, asking them to come up with some targeted anti-counterfeiting methods as soon as possible, and to respond quickly in combination with advertisements to inform users of this matter.

Logically, anti-counterfeiting is the responsibility of government functional departments. Enterprises have to fight against counterfeiting, which is a forced to go to Liangshan. In addition to dealing with counterfeiters, enterprises also have to spend a lot of energy to deal with functional departments. Not only that, if domestic companies’ products are counterfeited, they are most afraid of media exposure, because once exposed, it is easy to lead to the loss of user groups. In addition, high budgets are difficult to ensure the planning and continuity of anti-counterfeiting. Most domestic manufacturers believe that they do not have the capital yet.

Almost all companies involved in the fight against counterfeiting believe that the domestic punishment for counterfeiting and selling counterfeiting is too light, which is the core problem in the current anti-counterfeiting work. Light punishment not only makes the anti-counterfeiting lose its due deterrent effect, but also will form the whole society tolerate counterfeiting, encourage local protection and departmental protection, and even lead to the strange theory that counterfeiting can develop the local economy.

After a long discussion, Fan Wubing and others believed that only by strengthening the criminal investigation and punishment of counterfeiters and their cooperation can the domestic counterfeiting problem be effectively solved. From a legislative perspective, the biggest obstacle facing criminal prosecution is the lack of clear and appropriate legal provisions to determine whether the act of making and selling counterfeit products constitutes a crime or should only be subject to administrative penalties such as fines and confiscation.

The World Trade Organization's "Trade-Related Intellectual Property Agreement" establishes a global standard for criminal liability for criminals who produce and sell counterfeit products, that is, any fraud case that reaches a commercial scale should be held criminally liable, but domestic legal and judicial interpretations do not meet the above standards in this regard.

In addition, several interrelated practical operational issues also hinder the criminal investigation and prosecution of counterfeiters by judicial organs. Among them, the public security and procuratorial departments lack the necessary manpower and material resources, insufficient training for law enforcement staff, local protectionism prevails, and lack of coordination and cooperation between administrative agencies and judicial departments. The intervention and investigation and evidence collection of public security organs should start after suspicion of illegal acts in the production and sale of counterfeit products, and should not be after the criminal act meets the prosecution standards stipulated by law.

These specific operational issues are related to the above-mentioned legal issues related to prosecution standards. Since the relevant criminal prosecution standards are unclear or too strict, such as the law requires evidence to prove that the counterfeiter has sold or manufactured counterfeit goods worth more than RMB 50,000, administrative and judicial organs usually refuse to hold criminal liable for fraud cases.

The practice of using punishment instead of punishment is also quite common. Due to the tight funding and the driving force of interests, and also due to the vague and lack of precise restraint of laws and regulations. For some fraudulent behaviors that are suspected of committing crimes, law enforcement departments often do not seriously collect evidence and investigate. Generally, they confiscate counterfeiting products, confiscate illegal income, and close the case with a fine instead of transferring the case to the public security organs.

Therefore, the cost of committing crimes in fraud is very low. Therefore, many talents enjoy this.

After Fan Wubing arranged the matter, Davis called him not long afterwards and asked him to pay attention to a news report on counterfeiting in the mainland.

Fan Wubing flipped through the newspaper and found the anti-counterfeiting news that Davis said. When he saw it, he was a familiar figure. He was also the land king of the country famous for his professional anti-counterfeiting.

At the beginning of the year, Wang Hai saw the introduction of the Consumer Rights Protection Law. At that time, he was learning legal knowledge in the correspondence class. He wanted to see if this thing was really useful. So he bought two Sony headphones in the mall with a try-and-see attitude.

Then he took the headphones to the Consumer Association, but he didn't find it. So he found the quality inspection department. The quality inspection said that they did not appraise the goods where they purchased them. So he found the Industrial and Commercial Bureau again. The Industrial and Commercial Bureau said that the quality inspection department must issue a certificate to prove that the headphones were fake. After several trips, the appraisal was not successful. So he went to the mall and bought all the remaining ten. He went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to ask the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to assist me in returning the goods.

The mall took the initiative to return the goods, but there was no compensation, and it was not clear whether his goods were fake. It just gave him the money.

Later, he came to Beijing for the second time and received compensation from the mall. At that time, it also happened that Beijing issued and implemented the "Consumption"

"Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Protection Law", he thought that the legal provisions were clearer and he went to the mall to buy some counterfeit and shoddy products. This time the effect was better, and he finally got a compensation of more than 8,000 yuan.

Later, Wang Hai began a professional anti-counterfeiting process. This anti-counterfeiting behavior with the main purpose of obtaining compensation attracted the attention of the media. Hostages are a means of black tying and eating black tying. They believe that doing so lacks legal basis. However, some people believe that the basis for black tying and eating black tying is that some people are making fakes and selling fakes. Therefore, although professional anti-counterfeiting is for profit, it objectively restricts the wanton expansion of counterfeiting and selling fakes.

Fan Wubing was inspired by this and thought it was good to hire someone to fight counterfeiting, saving himself time and effort to pay attention to these things. This was also considered an agent system, so he asked someone to contact Wang Hai.

It was nothing to ask Wang Hai to come over. At this time, he was fighting counterfeiting for a company that produced motorcycle trunks. He had lost more than a dozen dens and made some money. However, he always felt that the reward was still a little less, but he didn't expect that a large company like Fan's Investment Group would come to him.

When Wang Hai saw Fan Wubing, he talked to him about his experience in fighting fakes. "Now to crack down on counterfeiting merchants, it must be industrial and commercial and public security to dispatch together, otherwise there will be no effect. Because the Industrial and Commercial Bureau does not exercise the power of arrest, even if it finds a den and finds a counterfeiter, it can only be fined. Confiscated products, and the person is arrested because there is no power. This often leads to such a phenomenon: the industrial and commercial department confiscates the counterfeiter and issues a ticket to the counterfeiter, but the counterfeiter runs away the next day and the fine is gone. If the Industrial and Commercial Bureau is given the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to arrest the counterfeiter

The power will have much better effect. Another point is that the department does not act. Large enterprises dare not touch them, and small enterprises are too lazy to catch them. Large enterprises either have a strong backend or generate a lot of income, which is helpful to local fiscal revenue and cannot be offended easily. Small enterprises cannot be fined much even if they are arrested. Therefore, many counterfeiting manufacturers are released. Therefore, I suggest that we establish a receipt system for acceptance. After reporting, we must have an acceptance record, and whether we have investigated or not, and what the results of the investigation and punishment should be found. These should be made known by the whistleblower, and it will also avoid inaction by government officials."

"This kind of thing involves too many things, and it cannot be solved at least at this stage. Because of interests, your joint law enforcement considerations are simply not feasible." Fan Wubing directly denied Wang Hai's idea.

In fact, Fan Wubing himself is clear about it. The so-called theft is also true. The reason for the rampant piracy in China is also very clear. Taking industries such as audio and video products and software products, which have the most serious intellectual property infringement, is mainly caused by improper pricing policies in these industries.

Due to the improper pricing policies in these industries, the prices of most audio-visual products and software at that time seriously deviated from the purchasing power of domestic consumers. For example, if a system software in the United States sold for $99, it would be acceptable for American consumers with an average annual income of $20,000. However, the per capita annual disposable income of Chinese urban residents in the same year was only 4,283 yuan, equivalent to more than 500 US dollars.

However, the price of software that sells $99 in the United States is generally more than 1,000 yuan in China, which is usually more expensive than those who take out abroad. Such pricing is a huge expense for most Chinese urban consumers, and rural consumers can't afford it.

Due to the error in pricing policies, pirated audio-visual products and software have provided huge market demand, and even consumers who originally wanted to buy genuine products at reasonable prices have to embrace pirated products.

Compared with the huge losses caused to the infringer every year, the cost of illegal risk of intellectual property infringement is still very low. In addition, China's huge low-income consumer group has a huge market demand for cheap goods, and intellectual property infringement products can easily occupy this market with price advantages.

"I don't care about the overall environment, and I don't have the qualifications to care about it. What I want you to do is to find counterfeit deals for our company and then destroy them. As for the reward, you can talk directly to my executives, and it won't disappoint you." Fan Wubing said to Wang Hai.

"As long as the price is right, I'm happy to do this job." Wang Hai replied.

Since it hit it off, the next thing is simple. The two parties signed a formal contract, and the newly formed anti-counterfeiting company Wang Hai and others became a partner of Fan Investment Group, providing professional services to various companies under Fan Investment Group.

Fan Wubing had just arranged the matter here, and Fan Heng called him over there, saying that the new appointment and removal order had been issued.
