Countering Today’s Online and Offline Threats whilst Streamlining IP Rights Enforcement

Picture the scene – you’ve just come across an illegal website online, you realise they’ve been selling counterfeit goods directly to consumers for some time now. Lots of small consignments slipping through customs unnoticed and unhindered. You begin the prosecution proceedings but you know it will be a while before the site gets shut down, and when it is they’ll probably just set up another one and continue selling – meanwhile, one of the unhappy recipients of these goods, believing them to have been the genuine article, has already tweeted, blogged and posted about the sub-standard goods, blaming you, the brand.…

More and more this is becoming the difficult reality – even the normality – for brand owners. The latest Commission statistics show that around 80,000 IPR infringement cases were registered by EU customs in 2010, almost double the previous year.

The Brand Protection and Anti-Counterfeiting Summit in Amsterdam is one of highlights of the IP events calendar, each year bringing together some of the world’s leading and best up-and-coming brand owners, uniting them with enforcement and key associations, and using this platform to develop robust, cost-effective and innovative brand protection and anti-counterfeiting strategies – wherever your expertise may be!
