New INTA Report: Economic Impacts of Counterfeiting and Piracy

The Economic Impacts of Counterfeiting and Piracy, a report commissioned by INTA and ICC-BASCAP, builds on the findings of a 2016 report by the OECD and EUIPO that looked at the scope of counterfeiting and piracy in international trade.  

INTA produced the below  educational video to promote the study. The video introduces the concept of counterfeiting, explains its negative social and economic impacts, and ends with calls to action for government officials, business leaders, and consumers. The video has also been incorporated into an interactive exhibit on trademark education and counterfeiting the National Inventor’s Hall of Fame in Alexandria, Virginia. Approximately 30,000 visitors are expected to see the display, which runs through May 2019.
