Cost and convience drive the online counterfeit market in consumer electronics, apparel,  accessories and food and drink. Luxury goods are particularly targeted as counterfeiters can make big margins on sales and consumers look for bargains, says David Franklin, Global Director of Brand Protection at CSC. The Luxury Law Summit will look at the impact on online counterfeiting -from brand-damaging to life-threatening as well as the threats to luxury brands and consumers.
