OVERVIEW
我们的博物馆向参观者讲授知识产权的价值以及知识产权保护的重要性。
作为彰显特利德和吉宾斯律师事务所的企业社会责任的项目组成部分，我们的假冒商品博物馆每年接待数百名参观者，由我们有经验的知识产权律师亲自带领参观讲授。
这些讲座和参观消除了那些认为知识产权侵权是一种无受害者的犯罪的错误看法。参观者了解到假冒商品如何危害那些购买假冒商品的消费者以及那些生产假冒商品的工人的健康和安全。我们的讲授内容还包括假冒商品如何与其他形式的组织犯罪紧密关联，包括毒品、武器、人口贩卖、甚至恐怖主义。我们也介绍假冒盗版如何造成政府的税收流失，如何导致合法纳税人发生维权方面的大笔开支，以及假冒盗版如何扼杀创新，损害整个社会的经济发展。我们欢迎各界人士参观我们的博物馆：
我们为知识产权律师、泰国和外国的警察、法官、外交人员、以及其他政府官员提供关于我们代理的客户品牌认知度的高级别培训。在这些参观活动中，专业人士将接受如何鉴别正品和假冒商品的深度培训，从而提升参与者的专业能力，帮助他们在各自具有挑战性的工作中取得成绩。
博物馆经常接待很多来自不同科系的大学生班级，包括法律、设计、建筑、以及其他那些创作内容亟需保护方能成功的领域。前来参观的学生有机会向有经验的知识产权律师学习知识产权的基本知识，以及盗版和假冒商品带来的现实问题。
博物馆在指定日期和时间向公众开放。参观者需要提前预约。提前预约请联系Jidapa Eagark女士，她的邮箱地址是[email protected]。
博物馆吸引了大量的媒体关注，众多国外的主要广播电视公司（包括CNN和BBC）都在他们关于泰国的假冒情况的纪录片里介绍了我们的博物馆。很多本地和国际的报纸和杂志包括《基督教科学箴言报》和《时代周刊》也发表了关于我们的博物馆的介绍文章。
Collection
“A mind-boggling array of counterfeit merchandise”
– Lonely Planet
Established in 1989 by David Lyman, Chairman and Chief Values Officer, the Tilleke & Gibbins Museum of Counterfeit Goods has grown from a collection of approximately 100 products when it was first created to more than 4,000 IP-infringing goods today, making it one of the largest of its kind in the world. The museum houses a collection covering 14 broad categories of goods, including clothing, footwear, watches and eyewear, accessories, cosmetics and perfumes, food and household products, drugs, alcohol and cigarettes, copyrighted works, stationery and office supplies, automotive parts, tools, electrical devices, and miscellaneous products.
Case Studies
Due to their unique design, HAVAIANAS flip-flop sandals have become very popular among Thai people and tourists, especially at tourist attractions and beach areas. This has resulted in the widespread distribution of counterfeit HAVAIANAS sandals across Thailand. The counterfeit products use similar, infringing designs, and are offered at prices which are three to four times lower than genuine HAVAIANAS sandals, but with very inferior quality.
HappyCall is a well-known Korean kitchenware manufacturer. A Thai TV shopping network began to run advertisements for a company offering counterfeit HappyCall frying pans for sale. In addition, the infringer offered the counterfeit frying pans for sale on its website and offered to deliver them in person to its customers.
A Thai company that was formerly an authorized licensee of PGA TOUR, Inc., a well-known organizer of professional golf tournaments, continued to distribute PGA TOUR apparel products bearing PGA TOUR trademarks after the agreement was legitimately terminated. The distributed products were identical to the originals but were deemed to be infringing products because the trademark owner’s authorization had ended with the termination of the licensing agreement.
An online company in the business of selling counterfeit products, including those of the well-known Korean makeup brands Lotree, Etude, Skinfood, and Baviphat, was the subject of coordinated raids carried out by the Department of Special Investigation of Thailand. The company stocked its counterfeit products in three different locations across two Thai provinces. The first site was a stockroom, while the others were three-story commercial buildings.
A Thai factory located in Lam Luk Ka district, Pathum Thani province, was raided by the police, leading to the seizure of thousands of automotive-related products, including counterfeit engine oils, plastic engine oil containers, cardboard boxes, labels, and even foil seals that cover the tops of engine oil containers. All of the seized items bore trademarks belonging to Honda Motor (Japan) and other leading companies.
