I work for a company that produces products here in the USA. A few of our products are copied overseas. We estimate that there are 5 to 10 times more fake products than what we have produced. Our products are patented. We have a counterfeit/legal division that just tries to stop (slow) the amount that gets inside USA. (and a few other places like the EU, our patents are registered there too)
There are so many unauthorized copies of our products, that fans of our authentic products have even made up a name for the fake ones! LOL!

...If you think that PARMIGGIANO REGGIANO is produced
only within two area towns in Italy since XII Century and all over the world today you can buy "Parmesan" built in Iowa or N_Dakota...and all customers are happy to eat a low cost cheese named Parmesan thinking it is real. (30 months aged costs $22/25 per Kg in Italy).
Counterfeit system involves all of us. Only an accurate buying process can help to protect.
