BRAND PROTECTION
Imitations are a risk to a
company‘s image and
to its profit
Intellectual property theft is a threat to us
all, and the problem is growing.
With established links to organized crime
a industry has now become a global
epidemic.
The worldwide damage from illegal
imitation of brand names amounts to
over 250 billion US-dollars per year (57% of world trade).

BRAND PROTECTION
Imitations are a risk to a
company‘s image and
to its profit
Nowadays hardly any product is safe
from imitation.
Internationally famous trademark, luxury
fashion garments, watches, perfumes
and upscale consumer goods are
suffering from fakes and imitations.
Illegal imitation affects sales, jobs and
the manufactures reputation.
The existence of substandard, forged
products can quite simply destroy the
image and the standing of the authorized
manufacturer, and his all important
reputation .
