UFI Filters<\/strong>, a leading company in the world of filters and thermal management, is at the front line in the\u00a0fight against the sale of counterfeit spare parts<\/strong>\u00a0both via conventional channels and e-commerce. By registering its brands and filing patents at an international level as well as implementing patented technologies, UFI Filters has\u00a0blocked almost 5 million euros of potential revenue from illegal goods<\/strong>\u00a0in the last two years.<\/p>\n This important result was achieved thanks to the Brand and Product Protection activities carried out by UFI Filters\u2019 Legal Division and Intellectual Property Department. In collaboration with CONVEY, a Turin-based company and leader in Internet Intelligence and Brand Protection services,\u00a0almost 2.5 million illegal transactions have been blocked on the Internet<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 6,125 offers have been identified<\/strong>, reported and completely eliminated from 19 different marketplaces online. The complete removal of these illicit advertisements from e-commerce platforms has significantly reduced the amount of counterfeit products reaching the spare part market place. These products are of poor quality in comparison to the originals developed by UFI.<\/p>\n UFI Filters has also implemented a preventive strategy. Its main aim is to eliminate the sources of supply of counterfeit products by stopping them from being distributed on the original product market. This is mainly done through ads posted on Turkish or Chinese, as well as international e-commerce, platforms. By doing this, UFI Filters protects the original goods market, aftermarket customers and end consumers.<\/p>\n Since 1972<\/strong>\u00a0UFI Filters has taken action to safeguard its products and trademarks through the\u00a0registration\u00a0<\/strong>of brands and patents on the main global markets, and through customs protection by registering the Group\u2019s intellectual property assets with the customs authorities in individual countries. UFI has\u00a0registered 233 patents and utility models to date<\/strong>. This starting point has enabled the Group to work closely with CONVEY on\u00a0Internet Intelligence & Product Protection on the main e-commerce platforms<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In the traditional channel, UFI Filters also offers\u00a0a direct service for its own distribution network, with training sessions<\/strong>\u00a0to help workers learn how to tell the difference between an original and a counterfeit product. This is especially pertinent for products that are most widely copied on the market, such as the \u201cH2O\u201d, \u201cONE\u201d and high-filtration water filters, which are the result of exclusive UFI technology.<\/p>\n UFI Filters\u2019 strategy to fight inappropriate use of the brand and the violation of its patented technology is further strengthened by the\u00a0use of labels<\/strong>\u00a0attached to the packaging in particularly high-risk markets, such as the Far East. These labels have a QR code and are made using printing techniques that make them very difficult to reproduce. Shortly, they will be used in the European market too.<\/p>\n Luca Betti, Business Unit Aftermarket Director<\/strong>\u00a0for the UFI Filters Group, said: \u201cThe UFI Filters Group constantly strives to fight fake spare parts. This is demonstrated by the financial figures for the two years since we started working with CONVEY. We have blocked a highly significant potential revenue from illegal goods, which could have damaged both the industry and the vehicles on the roads. We are, therefore, proud to renew our partnership with CONVEY. To protect the market, we ask our distributors, as well as spare parts dealers and mechanics, to use only the official sales network. Be wary of very low prices and notify us immediately if they think that they have come across any potential counterfeit goods\u201d.<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t
