   Carpmaels in Conversation: Ep. 41 - Faked, duped, upcycled: IP challenges in the age of social media

   Social media has reshaped how products are discovered, promoted and sold, creating new marketing opportunities for brand owners and unprecedented access for consumers. Platforms such as TikTok and Instagram have also changed how authenticity is perceived and valued, and influencer marketing has contributed to the growth of online counterfeiting and accelerated consumer demand for “dupes” and “upcycled” products. In this episode of Carpmaels in Conversation, our speakers address the IP challenges arising from this shift. They discuss the problem of counterfeits in social commerce, “dupe” culture and the increasingly blurred legal boundaries between legitimate and unfair competition, and how upcycling creates reputational risks and rewards for brand owners. Drawing on recent studies and case law, platform enforcement tools and real‑world examples, the episode explores how brand owners can navigate these issues in a fast‑moving and highly visible digital environment.
