These are the most brazen product counterfeits of 2025
Also awarded was the recycling waste system "Albula" by Rotho Kunststoff AG (original on the left). Numerous imitations of the system circulate on the internet. According to the association, the dimensions and proportions are identical to the original, and the design is copied down to the last detail: from the removable lid with integrated flap, the carrying handles with patented snap-lock buttons, to the color differentiation of the container, lid, and handles. Aktion Plagiarius: "Rotho is regularly affected by counterfeits and consistently takes action against design and patent infringements. After pointing out the protected design, infringing offers were removed from amazon.de. Woka Home Product, which presents itself as an experienced manufacturer of plastic products, denies ever having manufactured or distributed the counterfeit. However, the counterfeit was advertised in the Woka Home catalog with photos (three color variants), technical detail information, prices, as well as terms of payment and delivery."
