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.
