DuPont Fighting against Counterfeit in China Pesticide Industry

After more than one year’s efforts on cracking down fake products of Kangkuan, DuPont China has achieved some success. However, faced with numberless infringers, the road of DuPont's rights safeguard in China is destined to be difficult, according to CCM’s latest issue of Crop Protection China News.

DuPont’s Kangkuan is considered to be one of the most outstanding insecticides in the world. However, its high price and great profit have provided the hotbed for the production and sale of fake products of Kangkuan in China. Many domestic pesticide players illegally produce and sell fake products of Kangkuan, causing a lot of trouble to domestic pesticide market and agriculture.

Actually, DuPont is not the only international pesticide enterprise who has suffered the pain of products being imitated in China. Regent (commercial name of fipronil) and Envidor (commercial name of spirodiclofen), insecticides developed by Bayer (a famous chemical and pharmaceutical company in the world), and azoxystrobin, a fungicide product developed by Syngenta, are all infringed during their patent protection period in China.

DuPont's great effort and investment in the fighting against counterfeiting actions in recent years has set up a good example for domestic pesticide enterprises. DuPont not only states its viewpoint on detesting infringement, but also pushes Chinese government and domestic pesticide players to realize the importance of pesticide innovation. However, more efficient pesticide innovation in China may still need years to go.
