International Legal Protection of Consumer Rights in the Context of Counterfeit Products

Abstract

Counterfeit products pose a significant threat to consumer rights, public health, and economic stability globally. This paper explores the international legal frameworks aimed at safeguarding consumer rights in the context of counterfeit goods. It highlights the role of key organizations, including WIPO, WTO, and INTERPOL, and examines existing legal mechanisms, such as the TRIPS Agreement, to combat the proliferation of counterfeit goods. The paper also discusses the need for enhanced international cooperation and more robust consumer protection strategies.
