A recent trend in product copying is Pingti, which originates from Asia and is gaining popularity in the world. The phenomenon is also known as "dupes" in Western markets and means the affordable alternative to the luxury products and expensive services.
One of the principal features of these products is their high similarity to popular luxury brands’ items, but with no logo and/or removable parts of the item.
This is explained by the fact that unlike deceiving counterfeits, Pingti are high-quality alternatives reflecting similar spirit and essence of famous brands, but more affordable.
Not only bags, clothes or footwear have Pingti analogues, but perfumery, cosmetics and even healthcare products are involved in this trend as well, offering the competitive analogues of the well-known brands by attractive prices.
Some of the brands affected by Pingti trend are Hermès, Lululemon Athletica, Nike, Prada, Bottega Veneta, and others.
The lawyers of TKM International Consulting emphasize, that the legislation of different countries applies variable regulation and liability in terms of infringements of IP rights. In Russia exists a legal concept of “confusing similarity”, which allows to recognize the fact of copying associated with misleading the consumer and copyright infringement. If the confusing similarity is settled TKM lawyers achieve the financial reimbursement in favor of the copyright holder in court. Thus, pingti items remain counterfeits as they reproduce the visual that was affixed by the luxury brand.
