However, some unscrupulous traders use false information to impersonate agricultural research institutes or colleges and universities to obtain improper benefits. This not only violates the rights and interests of consumers, but also damages the reputation of scientific research institutions. This article will take the case of counterfeiting recorded by the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences as an example, the real situation of these counterfeit products and how to protect their rights.
The proliferation of counterfeit products highlights the difficulties faced by scientific research institutions in protecting their rights.
In recent years, some food products under the banner of agricultural research institutes or colleges and universities have appeared on some e-commerce platforms. These products are advertised to be developed by authoritative institutions, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. The Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences found that a store had been selling Ganoderma lucidum spore powder for a long time, and promoted it under the banner of the university. In addition, there are several stores selling products related to the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Lawyers commissioned by the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences conducted an investigation into these violations and found that more than 20 stores were selling products using the CAA's logo and name. Although the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Sciences decided to defend its rights, it encountered problems such as lack of experience and lack of resources.

In the face of counterfeiting the name of scientific research institutions, legal experts remind consumers to protect their rights and interests. According to the Advertising Law and the E-Commerce Law, business operators do not have the right to publish false or misleading commercial advertisements, otherwise it will constitute an infringement of consumer rights and interests. Market regulation departments, consumer rights organizations, and e-commerce platforms have the responsibility to supervise and manage enterprises and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. When consumers encounter such problems, they should retain relevant evidence, claim compensation from the merchant or platform, or complain or even sue the market supervision department. Legal experts suggest that platforms should supervise and manage the behavior of internal operators, and consumers should enhance their awareness of rights protection and protect their legitimate rights and interests.
Summary. Nowadays, the problem of selling counterfeit products in the name of agricultural research institutes or colleges and universities is gradually emerging. These counterfeit products not only damage the rights and interests of consumers, but also have a negative impact on the reputation of scientific research institutions. Market regulation departments and consumer rights protection organizations should take the initiative to increase the intensity of rectification of these problems and protect consumer rights and interests. When consumers encounter such problems, they should retain relevant evidence and take timely actions to protect their rights and interests. At the same time, legal experts also remind consumers to be vigilant and not to be deceived by false advertising.
