- Title
FASHIONABLY LATE: WHY THE UNITED STATES SHOULD COPY FRANCE AND ITALY TO REDUCE COUNTERFEITING.
- Authors
MARTÍNEZ, DIANNA MICHELLE
- Abstract
This Note will evaluate the United States' anti-counterfeiting laws in order to determine their shortcomings in successfully battling the sale and proliferation of counterfeited luxury goods. This Note will focus particularly on designer purses and shoes.1 It will explore how consumer demand is a driving force behind the growth and prevalence of counterfeit goods trafficking,2 and how France and Italy's combination of consumer penalties and campaigns to raise awareness as to the risks associated with counterfeits should be a model for the United States' anti-counterfeiting efforts. This Note will thus argue that the United States should look to Italy and France's successes in the battle against counterfeited luxury goods and adopt similar legislation sanctioning consumers in order to address this prevailing problem.
