This article will be a work in progress, because everytime I will come across news about a country that seized counterfeit or pirated goods originating from China I will add the link, so that a worldwide overview will emerge. If you find articles about activities against infringed goods from China in exotic places (or if such a countery has any link with infringement originating from China), feel free to send me the links. Thanks.

Dear Skribinto,Yes you are right about that. From you profile I saw that you are from Germany. So you could help me… What about contributing a link about seizures and measures in Germany against IP infringing goods originating from China, if you want? Thanks for considering this.Cheers,Danny Friedmann
Thus you are going to have much to do 😉
