The first section speaks to the effects of counterfeit on consumer confidence, economic growth (GDP), tax revenues, and FDI. It will draw that through research it is evident that counterfeit goods result in negative outcomes. The second section will explore how counterfeit goods move to the end consumer, looking at where goods are purchased and how the good will then move from production country, through legitimate distribution channels, to the end consumer. It will draw on how the counterfeit industry focuses heavily on concealing goods and how globalization and E-commerce play a role in the industry. The third section looks into consumers’ demand and lack of innovation ability as the reasons why developing countries are the producers of counterfeit. It concludes that improving the standard of living and purchasing power parity can hinder this process. The last section compares the level of intellectual property protection to the level of corruption in a country. It is concluded that international businesses need to consider the hidden costs of operating in a global environment, as there is a positive correlation between low intellectual property protection and the level of corruption in a country.
