In 2022, ICCE and its members have thwarted counterfeiting schemes on a massive scale across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. We worked with online marketplaces to remove tens of thousands of infringing listings. And we partnered with law enforcement agencies through a series of special training sessions and events – and supported them to remove huge quantities of illegal products from the markets before they could be sold to unsuspecting customers. For 2023, we are continuing our dedicated fight against counterfeit imaging supplies – with a clear goal of protecting customers from the risks posed by counterfeit toner cartridges, ink cartridges, and printer ribbons, Click for more
