【新唐人2011年7月23日讯】近日有网友在博客上踢爆：云南有几家山寨版的“苹果电子产品”专卖店，引发国内外媒体关注。本台记者致电数家经销商，他们声称自己是苹果公司产品专卖店。但是在苹果公司官网上显示，中国只有北京和上海两地有专卖店。
根据博客BirdAbroad所传出的照片显示，这些假冒的“苹果商店”，提供正宗“苹果公司”专卖店中的所有东西。员工身穿的蓝色T恤上印有“苹果”商标，每位员工都有名牌。店内装修也和正牌“苹果”商店一样宽敞、光亮夺目。最不可思议的是，这些假冒“苹果”商店的员工都认为自己在为“苹果公司”工作。
根据“新浪科技报导，假冒的“苹果公司”商店按照产品区域不同，而铺设木地板或灰石地板，陈列的产品从iPad到Mac电脑应有尽有，陈设产品的桌子也和官方“苹果公司”商店的几乎一模一样。假冒的“苹果”商店内，甚至还有正宗“苹果”商店的旋转扶梯、儿童游戏区以及员工产品介绍区。或许是知道自己的行为不合法，这些假冒的商店内禁止拍照。
本台记者通过搜搜网找到昆明几家所谓的“苹果公司”专卖店。其中两家声称在官网上有他们的名字。但是“苹果公司”官网显示，只有北京和上海有专卖店。
协创丰泽园西电子广场店：（请问您这里是‘苹果’专卖店吗）对啊。您是哪里啊？（你们这里是正宗的吗）肯定是啊。（那你们有美国总部的授权吗）有啊。但是我们不会出示给你看的。（为什么）那我们要这样做生意多累啊。来一个人出示一份，来一个人出示一下，没这个必要的。苹果官网上有我们店面的地址。
南方源园西电子广场店：“（请问你们这里是‘苹果’专卖店吗）是‘苹果’专卖店。（请问你们这是正宗的吗？）是啊，我们在‘苹果’（公司）官方网站上可以查得到的。（那你们有美国总部的授权吗）我们没有美国总部的授权。因为这个授权是中国给的。美国不给。美国的店才是是美国给。中国的店是中国给。”
北京律师谢燕益表示，仿冒“苹果”专卖店肯定是侵权和违法行为。
谢燕益：“这种情况现在中国也比较普遍，不仅是‘苹果’，可能其他的假冒伪劣的，侵犯智慧财产权的一系列所谓‘山寨现象’，还是一个很普遍的现象。他既然在昆明进行这么一种‘山寨的苹果专卖店’。他也许当地有他的保护伞。因为他开这个店是有很大成本的，冒着很大的风险。”
北京律师杨慧文表示，国内各行各业的造假行为很普遍。他觉得更严重的是食品造假行为。
据《美国之音》报导，一位昆明市民透露，昆明现在有三、四家这样的假冒专卖店，今年上半年开张，分别位于武成路、正义路和小西门等地。这位市民表示，这些店的规模都比较大，产品一应俱全，例如iPhone，一家店里就有样机十几部。
“苹果公司”首席运营官蒂姆·库克说，中国市场是“苹果公司”在上个季度盈利的主要驱动力。为了维持高端产品形象和业界独特地位，“苹果”在中国只开设四家专卖店，位于北京和上海两地。目前，“苹果公司”没有对假冒专卖店作出评论，也没有提出法律诉讼。

A Copycat Apple Store In Yunnan Province
Netizens recently revealed the existence of a copycat
Apple store in Yunnan Province—which has aroused
a lot of attention from domestic and foreign media.
When our reporters contacted these copycat outlets,
they all claimed to be authentic Apple Inc. stores,
even though Apple’s official China website lists
just two locations, Beijing and Shanghai.
The photos uploaded by a bloger, BirdAbroad, showed that,
these fake Apple stores provide authentic Apple Inc. products
and all the salespersons are wearing badges
and blue T-shirts with Apple logos on them.
The stores are spacious and bright like authentic Apple stores.
Surprisingly, these salespersons in these fake stores believe that
they are actually working for Apple Inc.!
Sina Tech reported that these fake Apple stores have
wooden or gray stoned floors in different product areas.
Their products range from iPads to Mac computers, and even
their tables look like the ones used in official Apple stores.
These fake stores even have the same spiral stairs,
children’s game areas,
and product introduction areas as
those in the real Apple stores.
Customers are told not to take pictures in the stores,
perhaps the owners know that these stores are illegal.
Our reporters found these so-called
Apple Exclusive Stores online via soso.com.
Two of them claim to be listed on Apple’s official website, even
though the website only lists the Beijing and Shanghai locations.
A store in Xiechuangfengze West Digital Plaza:
(Is this an Apple Exclusive Store?) “Yes. Who is this?”
(Are you authentic?) “Of course.” (Do you have official
authorization from the U.S.?) “Yes, but we won’t show you.”
(Why not?) “We’d be so tired if we showed every customer
our authorization. It’s just not necessary.
You can find our address on Apple’s official website.”
A store in South Source West Digital Plaza: (Is this an Apple
Exclusive Store?) “Yes, it is.” (Are you authentic?) “Yes, you
can check on Apple’s official website.” (Do you have official
authorization from the U.S.?) “No, only from China.
Stores in the U.S. get authorization from the U.S. while stores
in China get authorization from China.”
A Beijing lawyer, Xie Yanyi, said that faking Apple Exclusive
Stores is illegal and an infringement of Apple’s rights.
Xie Yanyi said: “Phenomena like this is very prevalent
in China, not only with regards to Apple Inc.,
but with other counterfeit commodities, too. This is
an infringement of Apple’s intellectual property rights.
The fake Apple stores may have local officials protecting
them to exist, like in Kunming City, considering
the huge cost and risk involved in operating such stores.”
Beijing lawyer, Yang Huiwen, said that,
such counterfeit are very common in all fields in China,
with fake food being the most serious problem.
According to Voice of America, a local in Kunming City
revealed that there are now 3 to 4 fake Apple stores in that
area, which opened up in the first half of this year and are
located on Wucheng Rd., Zhengyi Rd., and Xiaoximen Rd.
This person said that each store is very large
and they sell every Apple product, including the iPhone.
A single store will have a dozen iPhones models on display.
Apple’s chief operations officer, Timothy D. Cook,
said that the market in China was
a major driving force behind last season’s profit.
To maintain an image as a high-end and specialty product,
Apple Inc. only opened a total of four stores in China,
Currently, Apple Inc. has not commented on the fake stores,
nor have they taken any legal action yet.
