"This book is an excellent addition to the current literature on
Trademark Infringement and Counterfeiting (TIC) and will prove
attractive to a wide array of audiences. In an era of changing
markets and corporate frustrations with TIC, Zaichkowsky's work is
expected to have a long shelf life. Marketers need to read the
informative book, and it is a "must read" for those grappling with
TIC issues." — Journal of Marketing Review, April, 2007“I really
like this book. It brings together, all in one place, important
information that is not available anywhere else. I especially like
the combination from different sources: consumer behavior,
branding, the law, marketing strategy, and competitive strategy.”—
George Zinkhan, Terry College of Business, University of
Georgia“This book represents the first academic treatment of brand
trademark infringement from a consumer behavior perspective, and
there are a number of new and unique ideas presented in the book.”—

University"Zaichkowsky provides a comprehensive review of consumer
behavior theories, as they relate to trademark infringement and
counterfeiting practices. Thus, the book offers an authoritative
assessment of the relevant literature, including both court cases
and marketplace behaviors… The author offers a compelling
narrative, helping readers to understand and prevent activities
that foster stealing intellectual property." – Candice R.
