« Sen. Bayh Dines with Hoosier Bloggers | Main | Wow » May 23, 2006When in asia, beware counterfeit cervezaA rather amusing example of the state of intellectual property in some Asian nations--not only is that DVD of MI 3 being sold by a street vendor probably pirated, but you must make sure you don't mistakenly purchase "Cerono" instead of Corona. Posted by Eric Seymour at May 23, 2006 08:56 AM CommentsThis isn't just in Asia. Next time you're shopping for Robitussin cough syrup at Long's drugs, make sure you don't buy Super Tussin or Safe Tussin or Scot Tussin. Most of the generic copycat drugs have packaging that looks confusingly similar to their brand-name counterparts. Posted by: wahoofive at May 23, 2006 02:02 PM | permalink Good point. I do think "Cerono" might be on shaky grounds in the US as far as trademark infringement, however. I can usually distinguish generic OTC drug packaging from brand-name at a glance, but "Cerono's" labeling is extremely similar to the real deal.
