Genuine products have gained the name and fame among the consumers worldwide. But for these trade brands, reaching the pinnacle of popularity is not as easy as one might think, but after enormous efforts by its owners, according to Mashhoor Al Shamsi, Senior Manager of Intellectual Property Issues and Trade Agencies.
"Some consumers think the Department of Economic development- Dubai (DED) crackdowns are excessive, especially on duplicate products which are cheaper compared with the genuine ones. They don't know and are not aware of consequences the fake ones bear. It affects the society, it incurs huge loss to the real trade brand owner," he said.
"Had the owners of these products stick to rules and quality, these noted brands would not have reached that place," he said.
Website warned against bogus offers The inspectors at the online monitoring division of the Field Control Section have noticed frequent complaints being reported against an online trading website. Consumers complained that the offers on the advertisement were not being given when they proceeded with the purchase. "We have verified the issue and it was found that the promotions offered on the website were made without a permit, despite the fact that the website belonged to an establishment that holds a commercial licence in Dubai. Hassan Bonfour, senior director of the Field Control Section, summoned the owner of the establishment and asked him to remove all the advertisements and unlicensed promotional offers instantly and refund the consumers their money. Online traders are urged to conform to the same procedures and conditions that apply to the trading shops for offering promotions. Traders must arrange the necessary permits, and must stick to its terms, said Hassan Bonfour. Consumers should double-check the promotional offers and compare the prices of the products with other shops in order to get the best prices and should refrain from getting attracted by exaggerated or untrue offers. |
