Intellectual property specialist Kingsley Nkonde says Zambia has made progress in reduced importation of counterfeit products.
Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Lusaka yesterday, Mr Nkonde attributed this to government’s intensified awareness campaigns against counterfeit products’ importation.
He expressed his gratitude to government for its political will on counterfeit products.
The Intellectual property specialist revealed that as a result of the political will, only three percent of the imported products for are counterfeit.
Previously, 95 percent of imported Sumsung products in to Zambia were counterfeit.
Law enforcement agencies recently introduced the hologram on all Compact Disc as part of the identification of products, under the copyright Act.
