Intellectual property protection solution
Fighting counterfeiting is a major challenge for all creators. Counterfeiting is defined as the total or partial reproduction, imitation or use of an intellectual property right without the authorization of its owner.
Infringement through the illegal or unauthorised reproduction is estimated to account for 5 to 10% of world trade. It threatens both the creator by violating their monopoly on exploitation, and the consumer by creating confusion between the original and copied work.
This is why, in the context of intellectual property and as a creator, it is important to act in cases of infringement.
