 Officers from the Yongchuan branch of Chongqing's industry and commerce administrative bureau check fake watches they seized in the Southwest China municipality, March 23, 2011. Officers impounded more than 50 counterfeit watches including faux copies of Patek Philippe, Cartier and Rado products during a routine inspection recently. In October last year, China's State Council launched a six-month campaign to reduce the number of pirated goods and strengthen protection of patents, trademarks and copyrights of a wide range of goods made both at home and abroad in a bid to strengthen its protection of intellectual property rights. A Patek Philippe wristwatch costs between 100,000 yuan ($15,000) and 200,000 yuan, and a Cartier between 20,000 to 50,000 yuan. [Photo/Asianewsphoto] |
