A few days ago, we announced the withdrawal of counterfeits from Taifun GT On the Chinese site « Fasttech »But in the end it's not that simple. It was perhaps early to think that the Chinese were just going to drop this model which they probably sell by box of 36 tons. It is no real surprise that we now realize that the famous “cloned” atomizer has reappeared without the logos and serial numbers, its name has also been changed.
Same thing with the " Squape R »Which came back under another fairly evocative name but lacking most of the distinctive signs of the original.
It would therefore seem that Fasttech "As others did not decide to abandon these counterfeit models but rather to modify them in" playing on the law ”. Because with these changes, the Chinese giant is protecting itself against trademark infringement:
- trademark counterfeiting : distinctive sign which affixes to a product or accompanies a service, makes it possible to identify it and to distinguish it. The mark protects the identity of the manufacturer or merchant.
However, this is not enough and these products therefore remain counterfeit in France because of the shape and design which remain unchanged at present:
- counterfeiting of designs : products which must be new and have their own character; either they are registered or their anteriority is claimed. The shape and design of the object are protected.
We will not give you the names of the products, or even the exact address of their location. This brief was written for informational purposes only, we are for the fight against counterfeiting in the field of vaping.
