The annual "315, International Consumer Rights Day" has come and gone. This year's theme was "Working Together to Enjoy Consumption," with a focus on addressing issues in key areas such as express delivery, telecommunications, and online shopping. In the second half of 2014, targeted monitoring revealed that less than 60% of online products were genuine. With the rising volume of online shopping and the high prevalence of counterfeit goods, consumers are increasingly concerned about their rights, while companies face challenges in protecting their brand reputation. On this 315, we take a closer look at the common traps of fake online products and offer tips to help you shop safely and confidently. ![Online Shopping Fake Products](http://i.bosscdn.com/blog/03/17/20/15550797812a0e3.jpg) What happens when you buy fake products online? A netizen named Xiao Wang purchased three cans of slimming coffee, eight boxes of quick-skinned biscuits, and four cans of fat-burning coffee from an "authorized store" on a website, spending a total of 643.2 yuan. Later, he discovered that these products lacked the “QS” mark, which is required for food safety. He then filed a lawsuit against two companies, one based in Beijing and another in Shenzhen. The court ruled in his favor, with the Beijing-based company returning the full payment, and both companies jointly compensating him 10 times the purchase price—totaling 6,432 yuan. According to data from the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, last year’s online shopping spending reached 278.98 billion yuan, accounting for 10% of total retail sales. That means 10% of Chinese people's daily consumption comes from online shopping, and the figure continues to grow by 30% to 40% annually. In January 2015, the administration released monitoring results showing that the rate of counterfeit goods in online shopping was below 60%. So, what should you do if you encounter fake products online? Legal experts emphasize that the most critical step is identifying the product as fake and proving its source. Experts recommend not signing for deliveries without checking the package first. Some users have reported that they signed for packages without inspecting them, only to find out later that the items were refurbished or fake. Without proof, e-commerce platforms often refuse to handle complaints. What if your branded products are being faked? In addition to fake products, many brands face issues with counterfeit trademarks. For example, in the building materials industry, well-known brands like Nobel Sanitary Ware and Mona Lisa Sanitary Ware are often imitated online. However, the Mona Lisa Group does not even produce sanitary ware. When a reporter contacted Guangdong Mona Lisa Company, the representative confirmed that they only sell tiles through their official online store. These counterfeiters often use similar trademarks and lower prices to mislead consumers. To avoid falling for such tricks, it's essential to be aware of the genuine brand details, including logos, fonts, and color schemes. Always double-check the trademark before making a purchase. Wang Ze, Deputy Secretary-General of the China Trademark Association, stated that if a trademark is not registered, the affected company can file a complaint with the administrative department for industry and commerce or directly sue in court. If the infringing trademark is already registered, it may be more difficult to stop its use. Companies should register their trademarks and, if necessary, apply to invalidate the infringing ones through the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board. To tackle counterfeiting, the government and e-commerce platforms must work together. Zhang Jindong, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, proposed that e-commerce platforms take primary responsibility for counterfeit goods. This would mean that if a consumer buys a fake product, the platform should compensate them first, then trace the seller. This approach puts consumer interests first and encourages platforms to strengthen their anti-counterfeit measures throughout the supply chain. While some platforms have introduced stricter audits and anti-counterfeit reports, counterfeit goods remain a major challenge. Ensuring clear sourcing and implementing supply chain traceability are crucial steps in eliminating fake products. Companies should establish dedicated anti-counterfeit teams or partner with specialized organizations to detect and combat counterfeits effectively. In addition, collaboration with government departments is essential. By building communication channels and receiving technical and legal support, companies can better protect their brands and respond quickly to any violations.
