How to Protect Your Intellectual Property Abroad- By Compliance Global Inc.

Overview

If your company exports or sells its products or services in foreign markets, the risk of loss from intellectual property law is far greater.

Unlike the US, some foreign nations do not have laws to protect intellectual property. Some countries have laws that make it easy to capture your intellectual property. Some nations feel the counterfeit market is essential to its local economy and, therefore, do not always cooperate to law enforcement information.

The software, entertainment, consumer electronics, apparel, and pharmaceutical industries are particularly vulnerable. Piracy laws costs much more than a loss of sales.

Why Should You Attend

IP piracy costs much more than a loss of sales. If your brand loses value because it is seen as less exclusive or is confused with shoddy imitations this poses a long term threat to profitability. Re-establishing brand identity and company reputation is expensive if not impossible.
