Plagiarius 2018Product counterfeiters "awarded"
On February 9th, the Plagiarius campaign awarded its eponymous defamation prize to manufacturers or retailers of counterfeit products. In addition to consumer goods, industrial components are also frequently among the counterfeit products - as was the case this year.

The inflatable water park 'Wibit Sports Park XL' from Wibit Sports in Bocholt has been completely copied with all details including life jackets by the company Sunny Kingdom from China (original on the left, counterfeit on the right). The counterfeiter also uses the original "Wibit Hand" logo and has taken the concept and music from the original advertising video.
