<keyword id="541988" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="SnapDeal">Snapdeal</keyword>, one of India's largest e-commerce platforms, along with four Indian shopping complexes, two of them in New Delhi alone, have figured in the latest 2020 Review of <keyword id="589881" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="notorious-markets">Notorious Markets</keyword> for Counterfeiting and Piracy issued by the Office of the <keyword id="178344" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="US-Trade-Representative">US Trade Representative</keyword>. The four Indian markets that have found mention in the list are Heera Panna in Mumbai, Kidderpore in Kolkata and <keyword id="6397252" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="palika-bazaar">Palika Bazaar</keyword> and Tank Road in Delhi. Aizawl's Millennium Center was mentioned in the last list of notorious markets, but now it has been replaced by Palika Bazaar. "Holding intellectual property rights violators accountable and ensuring that American innovators and creators have a full and fair opportunity to use and profit from their work is critical for both physical and online markets," US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said. In addition to addressing the role of e-commerce in facilitating the sale of pirated and counterfeit goods, the 2020 Review of Notorious Markets identifies 39 online markets and 34 physical markets that are reported to be engaged in or have facilitated substantial trademark counterfeiting and copyright piracy. The report includes for the first time a section addressing the role of internet platforms in facilitating the importation of counterfeit and pirated goods into the United States. "Today, the greatest risk of importation of counterfeit and pirated goods, harming both US content creators and US consumers, is posed not by foreign flea markets and dark web sites but by inadequate policies and inadequate action by e-commerce companies that market and sell foreign products to American consumers," Lighthizer said. "Combatting piracy and counterfeits will require sustained effort by both the federal government and by companies that profit from the sale of such goods," the official said. Although the majority of counterfeit goods seized by American law enforcement agencies originate in China and Hong Kong ֫- 92 per cent by value - the problem is global, with additional major points of origin, including India, Singapore, Thailand, Turkey, and the United Arab Emirates, the report said. The USTR said Snapdeal remains a concern for right holders who report that the volume of counterfeit products on this platform has increased over the past year. "According to a November 2018 survey, 37 per cent of purchasers reported that they had received a counterfeit product from Snapdeal. In July 2019, Snapdeal's founders were accused of criminal conduct in India for selling counterfeit products there. Right holders have also sued Snapdeal for selling counterfeit goods," it said. The USTR said Heera Panna, a major indoor market located at the heart of Mumbai, reportedly offers high quality counterfeit watches, footwear, apparel, accessories, and cosmetics. Right holders warn that counterfeit cosmetics sold at this market have health and safety risks. Locally known as "Fancy Market", Kidderpore in Kolkata reportedly sells counterfeit consumer electronics, apparel, cosmetics, and pirated software and media, often at wholesale quantities, the report said. Palika Bazaar, the underground market in Delhi is reportedly well-known for the trade of counterfeit products. Many shoppers are reportedly students and other young people who want trendy products at cheap prices. The market is also a popular destination for tourists, the USTR said. According to the report, Tank Road continues to sell counterfeit products, including apparel and footwear. Wholesale counterfeit goods are also reportedly supplied from this market to other Indian markets, including Gaffar Market and Ajmal Khan Road. Right holders report that conducting enforcement actions at this location is expensive and challenging, and sellers often appear to have advanced knowledge of raids, limiting their effectiveness, it said.

But it just happened with IndiaMART. IndiaMART, a publicly listed e-commerce website and mobile app that connects buyers with suppliers, describes itself as the world's second largest online business-to-business market. The US Trade Representative on Thursday came out with a report ‘2021 Review of Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting and Piracy’ in which it identified 42 online and 35 physical markets around the world that offer counterfeiting products or copyright piracy. The report called out four offline Indian markets too -- Heera Panna in Mumbai, Kidderpore in Kolkata, Tank Road in Delhi and Palika Bazaar in Delhi. It is said that duplicate goods can allegedly be found in large volumes on IndiaMART, including counterfeit pharmaceuticals, electronics, and apparel. However, this is not a shocking allegation for the company as in the past India’s drug regulator<a href="https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2018/oct/23/drug-regulator-issues-notice-to-amazon-flipkart-for-alleged-sale-of-spurious-cosmetics-1889048.html"> has issued notices to e-commerce companies </a>like Amazon, Flipkart and IndiaMART for selling counterfeit products. Apparently, IndiaMART has a notice-and-takedown system, but users say that it is burdensome to use and the process to remove the product is slow, as per the USTR report. “The status of notices is not transparently communicated to right holders,” said the report. Business Insider has sent an email to IndiaMART seeking comments on the report, but did not elicit any response till the time of publication. Meanwhile, the company’s stock has also disappointed investors by not giving any returns in the last one year as the stock slumped 44%. <div type="image" title="indiamart share" height="900" width="1200" msid="89658778" hostid="261"></div> In the latest October to December quarter, the company reported a 12% year-on-year decline in its net profit at ₹702 crore.
