China is infamous for its rampant “copycat” culture. Counterfeit and knockoff products continue to dominate China’s domestic markets despite the ongoing CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus pandemic. Being fed up with losses, several South Korean food producers have recently joined forces to address the growing distribution of counterfeit products in China.
According to Korea Bizwire, the Korea Food Industry Association established a consortium of food producers to file a lawsuit against the two largest Korean food imitation producers in China—Qingdao Taeyangcho Food and Zhengdao Food—for violating intellectual property (IP) rights.
