INTERNATIONAL ANTI-COUNTERFEITING DEAL UNVEILED

摘要

Personal care product manufacturers protecting high value brands will be scouring a draft Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) released on 21 April after two years of secret negotiations. Framed mostly by rich developed countries including the US, the EU and Japan, the deal has been under discussion because of the failure to agree a comprehensive global agreement in talks with emerging markets such as China and India at the World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO).
