Nokia walks fine line: China makes counterfeits and phones for Nokia

mb.com.ph dtory:

{However, there is some truth to the stories on fake products and, indeed, many counterfeit phones are produced in China. A counterfeit phone is defined as an exact or indistinguishable replica of a genuine product and, as such, infringes upon the genuine product’s design and registered trademark. Counterfeiting is a global criminal activity that affects many successful consumer product companies in a wide range of industries and Nokia is no exception.

Wherever it exists, counterfeiting also damages local economies and negatively affects people with legitimate jobs in the supply chain.

The prevalence of counterfeit phones and accessories is growing globally and we see this trend also in the Southeast Asia Pacific region. There are a number of reasons for this including the enormous growth in the number of mobile phone users in the region, the feature rich devices desired by consumers even in the entry markets and the increased availability and range of fake devices in the market.}

China is an enigma in many ways. (Tony Zafiropoulos)
