/ɪmˈplaɪd ˈpæsɪŋ-ɒf/ – Phrase
Definition: làm hàng nhái gián tiếp (sử dụng những tài liệu quảng cáo, mẫu mã, hay hình ảnh sản phẩm của đối thủ cạnh tranh để khách hàng lầm là sản phẩm của đối thủ).
A more thorough explanation: Implied passing-off refers to a situation in which a party is found to have engaged in unfair competition by misleading consumers into believing that their goods or services are associated with another party’s established brand or reputation, even though there is no direct evidence of intentional deception. This can occur when the overall presentation or marketing of a product or service creates a false impression of affiliation with a well-known brand, leading to confusion among consumers.
Example: The company filed a lawsuit against their competitor for passing off their products as the original brand.
