Summary:
|
There has been growing usage of ICT Equipment in people's daily lives, in recent years, but there have also been unwelcome side effects related to the increased in the sale, circulation and use of counterfeit ICT equipment in the market.
Counterfeit ICT Device is a product that explicitly infringes the trademark, copies hardware or software designs, or infringes brand or packaging rights of an original or authentic product and, in general, infringes applicable national and/or international technical standards, regulatory requirements or conformity processes, manufacturing licensing agreements, or other applicable legal requirements.
Among the various types of ICT equipment used today, smartphones and other mobile devices have become pervasive and desirable items amongst the world population, and, as a side effect, have also raised the attention of the global black/grey market.
This results in adverse consequences for stakeholders such as users, network operators, genuine device manufacturers, traders and governments, including decreased security protection and quality of service for users and revenue losses to a range of stakeholders.
Since the supply and demand economics for counterfeit ICT products complicate attempts to tackle the global counterfeit market, no single solution can solve the problem alone, requiring that a broad range of measures to be taken in a holistic approach.
Therefore, this Recommendation aims to describe a reference framework, with high level challenges and requirements, that should be considered when deploying solutions to combat the circulation and use of counterfeit ICT devices.
