Product and brand piracyNegative prize 'Plagiarius' launched in new round
The 'Plagiarius' campaign is holding its competition of the same name for the 42nd time. Companies, designers and inventors once again have the chance to submit their original products and alleged imitations and propose the plagiarist as the winner of the negative prize.

The imitator of the 'Ciento' vacuum jug copied the design of the product from the Wertheim-based company Helios. However, he is not selling this copy under his own brand or under 'Helios', but is illegally using the Swiss brand 'Zepter' from the company Zepter International. The counterfeit appeared via a bazaar dealer in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
