2014 - How to Protect Your Intellectual Property Abroad

Instructor: Douglas Cohen
Description:
This training will review a number of actions exporters should take to protect their patents (inventions), trademarks (words and symbols that identify products) and copyrights (works of art or authorship) in foreign markets.
Why Should you Attend:
If yourcompany exportsor sells its products or services in foreign markets, the risk of loss from intellectual property theft is far greater. First, unlike the United States, some foreign nations do not have laws to protect intellectual property. Second, many countries have laws that make it easy to capture your intellectual property. Third, some nations feel the counterfeit market is essential to their local economy and, therefore they do not always cooperate with law enforcement. Fourth, a few developing nations even question the validity of private ownership of intangibleassets.
In addition, 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.The software, entertainment, consumer electronics, apparel, and pharmaceutical industries are particularly vulnerable.
