Recently a raid was conducted by Criminal Investigation Group (CIDG) to a Chinese owned shopping mall in Davao City confiscated thousands of fake cellular phones and accessories. The vendors of more than 30 establishments took by surprise when the raid happened at around 11 in the morning.
That place was really known for selling fake cellular phones and accessories. You can buy all kinds of Nokia products with a saving of at least 60% price of the original one.
Speaking of Nokia, the company filed a complaint to the authority against the establishment. They made surveillance for 30 days before the warrant served.
How will you know the product is an immitations? Simply, the fake products do not have a sticker from National Telecommunication Commission (NTC) and mostly comes with a dual SIM card feature. It did not pass the quality control and standard.
People would settle for this besides affordable in price it's trendy, the feature is almost similar to the original one in the market. The difference will not be detected anymore unless checked caustiuosly and announced candidly it is fake.
The Nokia ran after their Intellectual Property rights which has something to do with the industrial and lay out design of integrated circuits and the selling of its product using the brand name.
The shop owners are worried in losing their business in the event that all the stocks were confiscated. The store was closed due to violating existing law and the building owner left losing as well.
I don’t know exactly what would be the penalties for the shop owner for committing this crime.
