In cooperation with Beijing's Haidian and Fengtai Industry and Commerce Departments, South Korean mobile phone manufacture Samsung has identified 88 types of fake Samsung mobile phones in Beijing.

Beijing Haidian Industry and Commerce Department representatives, along with Jin Rongxu, director of Samsung's Legal Affairs Department, says they found up to 10 kinds of mobile phones using a similar trademark to that of Samsung. Apart from imitating Samsung's mobile phone types and look, the fake phones used such misspelled names as Samsumg, Amycall, and Samsong which make people think them to be Samsung's models.

According to local media reports, many buyers of these fake mobile phones purchased these devices from Fangshitong Market in Beijing. The market was later checked by Fengtai Industry and Commerce Department and they identified 78 counterfeit Samsung mobile phones.

   A fake by definition is something that is labelled EXACTLY and looks IDENTICAL to the origional product.

   Panasonic tried legal action against Palsonic in the 80's because of close name branding and similar products. A court ruled that because no propriety features have been copied. Funny enough the publics view on some of Palsonic's products is that they're too bland to be passed off as Panasonic's anyway!

   If these Chinese companies however are purposely manufacturing with the intention to be mistaken for the origional brand however…..stuff em! Lets hope they lose big time and have to pay Samsung!
