- Abstract
It is known that neglect in the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR hereafter) protection such as trademarks, patents, and labels can lead to counterfeits, but it is not well known that counterfeits can have major effects on a variety of parties. This paper intends to look at IPR and its effect on places, specifically in Hong Kong and Italy. It is a common knowledge that Hong Kong has historically adopted a relaxed enforcement of IPR therefore one can easily see a bunch of counterfeited goods such as clothing and other consumer goods in the street markets of that country. What is equally interesting is that in Italy similar phenomenon has appeared in recent years. We investigate the commonalities between these two countries in implementation of IPR laws. The paper is divided into 3 sections; one for each country and one for summary, and the third for conclusions.
