CONNECT and SDSI Present a Public Policy Forum to Protect Your Profits: What you Need to Know to Protect Against IP Piracy

Published: June 10, 2013By Tiffany Montgomery

Over the last decade, our world has moved from local to global to “glocal”. Every day companies are doing business not just locally, but globally, as other countries are growing and demanding products from the United States. As the demand grows, so does the likelihood of piracy/counterfeiting, particularly in these same countries where the demand is great. In order for companies to continue innovating and growing, more and more attention needs to be given to protecting the intellectual property of these products.

This program will educate and engage companies on protection of intellectual property and how to enforce this protection. You will learn what is currently being done to remove pirated/counterfeit products from the US marketplace and how to keep your products protected in other countries. Millions of dollars are lost annually from pirated/counterfeit goods being sold all over the world. This lost revenue means lost jobs, fewer new technologies and less innovation. Learn how to protect your products and therefore your bottom line.
