The Global Fight Against Counterfeits: Reality, Solutions & Strategies – CLE Available

View Session Speakers

Counterfeit products are an enormous problem for businesses all over the world, from consumer goods, to software, to pharmaceuticals, counterfeits have become nearly ubiquitous. Counterfeiters easily (and conservatively) cost brand owners many hundreds of billions of dollars each year. Given the low risk of getting caught, high profit margins and often lackluster and uncoordinated enforcement regimes, fighting counterfeits is an ever-growing challenge for brand owners.

Join us for a wide-ranging conversation on the global counterfeit problem and anti-counterfeit strategies and solutions.

This panel will, among other things, discuss: (1) The latest schemes and operations of international counterfeits that brands need to guard against; (2) Working with governmental agencies and border authorities as a part of an effective global strategy; (3) The problem of social media and e-commerce platforms contributing to transactions of counterfeit products, and what brand owners can and should be doing; and (4) The growing problem of counterfeits in developing markets.
