Abstract
Manufacturers of cars and motorcycles are no strangers to the importance of protecting their intellectual property rights against counterfeiters and the counterfeits they produce. To date, much European and national case law has been developed to assist vehicle manufacturers in their fight against counterfeiters. This article examines the internet as a distribution platform for counterfeit ‘generic’ and genuine parts and 3D printing, which opens new perspectives for legitimate and shady businesses alike. It further highlights some of the recent notable case law in this area and discusses some of the major problems with counterfeiting that are faced by vehicle manufacturers in their never-ending war against counterfeiters and counterfeits.
