Intellectual Property Enforcement/Counterfeit Products Investigation and Intelligence Consulting

Intellectual copyright infringements are commonplace today particularly in Asia, Middle East, Africa and Eastern Europe, and they cost businesses and corporations billions of dollars. The faking and counterfeiting of pharmaceutical products including brand names in Asia are gradually destroying the competitive advantage of major pharmaceutical companies in North America and Europe.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), 10% of medicines worldwide are counterfeited. It estimates that in Africa, parts of Latin America and Asia about 30% of medicines sold there can be counterfeit, while it may be up to 20% in the former Soviet Union countries. It further estimates that although 1% of the pharmaceutical market in western countries is counterfeit, about 50% of the medicines marketed via the Internet may be counterfeit.

Other commonly infringed property rights include technology, music and films. A 2004 study by the Business Software Alliance showed that about 35% of the software installed on computers worldwide was pirated.
