The “winner” of this year's Plagiarius award is a plagiarism of a kitchen cutting device. The counterfeiter copies numerous products of Genius, including the trademark “Genius” and the product names, and promotes them online, at trade fairs, on street markets and via catalogue. The cutting blades of the forgery are blunt and easily break, the plastic contains harmful substances.
