Counterfeit lighters have misled consumers over the years. Many counterfeit lighters bear a striking resemblance to Zippo pocket lighters.

Zippo does not permit unauthorized alterations to genuine lighters and other Zippo products, including the application of designs, emblems, or other alterations that seriously infringe on Zippo's intellectual property rights.
