Plasseraud IP Anti-counterfeiting & React: trusted partners in the global fight against counterfeiting

Since its establishment in 2006, Plasseraud IP Anti-counterfeiting has emerged as the trusted partner in France for the Dutch legal association, React. With 30 years of experience, React's goal is to support its members, rights holders, in their global fight against counterfeiting.

To date, no fewer than 350 companies benefit from React's membership status, thus pooling their resources and ambitions to preserve the integrity of their products in global markets. Their strong alliance enables the association to provide a comprehensive range of market surveillance services, both physical and virtual, as well as to skilfully coordinate requests for customs intervention in countries where feasible. This cooperation ensures effective collaboration with customs authorities worldwide, thereby enhancing the protection of intellectual property rights.

In 2023, as a partner in France, our determination in the fight against counterfeiting was recognized across all sectors of the industry, achieving exemplary rankings compared to other countries, both in terms of the number of cases handled and the quantity of products seized. This success is largely attributable to the commitment of the French authorities (customs and Gendarmerie) in combating counterfeiting and highlights our position among the leading players in defending trademarks and intellectual property rights.
