Is this chip a genuine stm32 chip or clone?

I've been having a few problems uploading code to that chip ( having to press reset every time in addition to the inability to use the "ST-Link (GDB server)" option for debugging) and i was wondering if that was due to the fact that it might be fake, any thoughts?

note: the stm chip does not have the official ST logo on it.

It is definitely a fake chip: no logo, ugly fonts, etc.

Thats why its better to buy from genuine resellers and known products like nucleo, not as cheap as clones but you wont waste time on solving problems. Also check chip ID and menory density to know os it genuine chip.
