All things Korean
from K Pop to hairstyles to luxury Amore Pacific and LG Household beauty
products are in vogue across Asia and beyond. This is leading to a new type of
copycats. Fake fragrances are sold in fake stores (see photo) around the region.
Dozens of such shops have appeared in Vietnam recently. Mumuso is a Shanghai based retailer of Korean style goods. Its stores use Korean script, staff costumes and music. The allegation is
that it sells Chinese sourced fake Korean goods. It is rapidly expanding and now the Shanghai
company is opening in Australia. And even it is being copied
across Asia, with numerous copy retail trademark registrations for Mumuso appearing in other Asian
trademark registries. But there is no original Mumuso brand in Korea!
Korean government agencies such as the Korea
Trade-Investment Promotion Agency and the Korea Creative Content Agency are very concerned. They are encouraging Korean firms to take action to stop the sale of copies of their goods and the
issue has also been raised with the Blue House (the President’s office in
Seoul). The Korean IP communities is in heated discussion on how to protect the
“Korean Wave” (a.k.a. Hallyu) as Korean’s own national IP.
Five weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. It all started when i went to summer camp i was trying to contact him but it was not going through. So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy.
