Crypto Industry News:

Counterfeit products "Made in Italy" are sold in markets around the world. The Italian government began the fight against these counterfeits by investing 15 million euros in developing a solution to this problem based on Blockchain.

According to a new counterfeit report, the 'Made in Italy' label resulted in losses of EUR 12.4 billion in 2016 alone. Such losses directly affect the income as well as the future survival of many Italian artisans. The Italian fashion industry and the association of this country with handicrafts contribute to the prestigious reputation of the "Made in Italy" brand. If the name were registered as a brand, it would be the third most valuable property in the world (after Coca Cola and Visa).

The high status of this brand has led to an increasing problem with counterfeit goods. These counterfeits facilitate the theft of intellectual property and destroy the reputation of the label, brands and craftsmen represented by the label. They also cost billions of dollars to the entire industry. The Italian government has recognized this threat and identified Blockchain technology as a potential solution. Recently, the government has allocated EUR 15 million to support the rapid implementation of digital technologies, including the financing of a joint project of IBM Italy and the artisan community.

Aspects of the industry that are being considered for improvement include: authentication of goods and raw materials through the supply chain, secure book of intellectual property rights, demonstrable sustainability and ethical practices, and closer relationships between brands and their clients.
