A guest columnist in Marketwatch mentions the difficulty in finding counterfeit olympic merchandise in China. 

From Marketwatch: 

Smart official Olympic merchandise stores sell all manner of genuine, expensive knick-knacks. There’s clearly a market for these high-value goods, and if there’s one thing that China’s counterfeiters are good at, it’s spotting a gap in the market. So where are all the fake Olympic goods?

When I spoke to my colleagues about this, they thought it was hilarious. “You’d have to be mad to try making fake Olympic stuff!,” they said.

For once, it seems, China is actually enforcing intellectual property rights. For those of us who have been battling for years to protect our clients’ brands, this has come as something of a surprise. But at the moment, there seems to be little sign of this improved IP protection spreading from Olympic merchandise to the rest of the economy
