Trademark law
Is someone using your brand? Take action!
You offer a good and reliable product. Your customers recognise this brand and appreciate it. Naturally, you don't want other parties to hitch a ride on your success. Unfortunately, however, there is a serious risk that your products will be counterfeited and offered at much lower prices. Counterfeiting is one of the most underestimated forms of undermining. People who sell counterfeit, and especially of course wholesalers, disrupt society in an underhanded way. They often sell inferior products, and by pricing the goods to be sold they ensure that consumers do not go to the regular shops for similar products. Consequence: less turnover for the shopkeeper. Consequence: dismissal of a staff member. Your neighbour, aunt, friend, brother or sister. Consequence: benefit, paid for by the treasury. Many Dutch people contribute to this. The counterfeit seller does not: his business is black. Not a penny of tax.

Criminal law approach
The police in the Netherlands have their hands full fighting crime, and fighting so-called organised crime consumes a large part of the police capacity. Because of this prioritisation, many crime reports remain untouched, and after some time disappear into the proverbial drawer.
