Doesn't have to be fraud to be a good counterfeit. It could be sold honestly as a counterfeit.

I'm not a lawyer, but this just seems like a different kind of fraud - two parties knowingly engaged in a transaction involving counterfeit products, where the victim is the original designer rather than the buyer.

It's probably a trademark violation, and maybe copyrights and patents do depending on the specific facts, but I wouldn't call those fraud.
