Struggling against ‘fake’ auto parts
“There is a fact that Japanese auto parts repairing suppliers in southeastern Asian countries are struggling against those who sells 'fake' auto parts”; says Mr. Yuji Takagi, president and CEO of The Kataya.com Inc.
This 'fake' auto part is 'Replacement Part', and is growing bigger as third market. In Japan, people replace his/her auto parts with genuine parts produced by automaker or sometimes by certified service parts supplier. However, in Southeastern Asia such as China, Thailand and Malaysia, people use cheap replacement auto parts which is obviously 'fake' when automobilespecialists see them.
Auto parts market is a huge market in Asia where car accidents frequently happen. Those who sell 'fake' auto parts insist that it is not copyright infringement as design is slightly different.
This is also a serious issue for safety aspect. It will probably take for a while to settle this sort of copyright issues.
