The True Cost Of A Counterfeit
So, how much does counterfeiting cost and how does it affect you? Globally, the monetary losses involved are estimated to exceed $600 Billion. The human cost is far greater. Terrorism, organized crime, and child labor exploitation are all supported through counterfeiting. Even closer to home, buyers are being misled into thinking they are purchasing Authentic Thomas Kinkade Artwork when what they actually receive is poor quality, mass produced pieces lacking the fine details the Thomas Kinkade Brand is known and loved for.
Monitoring Counterfeiters
Stores, galleries, websites, flea markets, and other types of vendors can all be sources of counterfeit activity. At The Thomas Kinkade Company, we actively monitor vendors to stop the sale of imitation Thomas Kinkade images and prosecute counterfeiters. We work with authorities at the local, state, and federal levels. We also work with U.S. and foreign customs officials.
