Trade in Counterfeit Goods and the Italian Economy
Protecting Italy's intellectual property
The Italian economy is innovative and rich in intellectual property (IP), with nearly
every industry either producing or using IP. Italian IP-intensive industries are very
well integrated in the global economy, through active participation in global value
chains. At the same time, the threats of counterfeiting and piracy are growing – and
Italy is vulnerable. This report measures the direct, economic effects of counterfeiting
on Italian consumers, the Italian retail and manufacturing industry, and the Italian
governments. It examines both the impact that the imports of fake products to Italy
has on these three groups and the impact on the Italian intellectual property rights
holders of the global trade in fake products that infringe their IP rights.
