Re: patek replica

Not necessarily - there is a fine line between replica and counterfeit products, and each state has different laws. If the product contains the name or any insignia that is protected by copyright or patent, then it is considered counterfeit, making it illegal.

Most items that are called replicas, such as purses, clothing, shoes and jewelry, are illegal, and both the maker, distributor and seller can face criminal charges, regardless of their knowledge that the products were fake.
