Description

Korean cosmetics are all the rage. Legal issues include intellectual property (IP) - the problems of look-alikes and smell-alikes - substantiation (does the face cream actually reduce wrinkles?), natural claims vs. organic, photoshopping photos to make it look like the model using the product looks younger, artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual apps, how each territory regulates cosmetics, and banned ingredients.
