False designation of origin

In consumer law, false designation of origin occurs when the manufacturer or seller lies about the country of origin or maker of its products. For example, if a manufacturer makes a product and then claims that it is a high end name brand product.¹

In U.S. law, false designation of origin is defined by 15 U.S.C. § 1125.
