How to Cost Effectively Battle Counterfeiting

By: Tori Kluess

 
Counterfeiting is a fast growing crime in the United States and can create a number of problems for consumers and businesses alike. Consumers face potential health and safety risks from counterfeited products that are not subject to safety regulations. Businesses face intellectual property rights infringement, decrease in business goodwill or the power of a brand, and lost profits. Counterfeiting is an estimated $500-billion per year worldwide enterprise and yet, many companies do not budget for or consider the battle against counterfeiting a normal business expense.

Most companies assume the best way to end counterfeiting is to file lawsuits against individual counterfeiters. However, lawsuits are time-consuming, expensive and may not be the most cost-effective technique for protecting intellectual property and battling counterfeiting.
