https://lnkd.in/g8sq_tim From cutting edge to old school, Millie Ward speaks to contributors to the latest edition of WTR’s Anti-counterfeiting and Online Brand Enforcement Guide about their top strategies to mitigate against the ever-growing threat posed by tech-savvy counterfeiters. Maia Woodhouse and Kristina Montanaro Schrader of Adams and Reese LLP explore the inevitable vulnerability that accompanies big-name retailers opening up their online platforms to third-party sellers, while Cesare Galli of IPLAWGALLI highlight the increasing length that counterfeiters are going to target consumers, including hidden links to secondary sites. According to Georgina Danzig of Heer Law - Intellectual Property Law and Litigation, these malicious tactics are growing increasingly sophisticated, allowing criminals to evade detection and limit liability. When it comes to countering these efforts, Davide L. Petraz and Daniele Petraz of GLP Intellectual Property Office advocate for the use of AI to review current anti-counterfeiting tools; brand owners should also make use of data analytics to analyse and interpret patterns, suggest Alan Chiu, James Choi, Nicole Huo and Nicola Kung of ELLALAN. In terms of taking concrete action against the trade in fakes, Saif Khan and Meghana Kudligi of Anand and Anand point towards blockchain-based solutions. Rafael Lacaz Amaral and Raquel Corrêa Barros of Kasznar Leonardos are fans of digital authentication technologies, including holograms and RFID tags, with Dr. Reinhard Fischer and Tamara Moll LL.M. of COHAUSZ & FLORACK also speaking highly of nano-optics, particularly when it comes to the fashion industry. But while it’s crucial to keep up with the latest tech, it’s just as vital to remember the tried and tested building blocks of any anti-counterfeiting strategy worth its salt, says Michael L. of Spoor & Fisher, who warns brand owners to remember the value of education as to the very real risk posed by fakes.

Only one day left to share your insights on your trademark practice and the IP industry. The deadline to complete the inaugural Global IP Benchmarking Survey is tomorrow, and we are urging all WTR readers who have a few minutes to spare to share their input. The link to access it is here: https://lnkd.in/eBAXfQh8   The brief survey, designed to be completed in under 10 minutes, gives trademark professionals the opportunity to discuss their recent experiences across topics ranging from IP industry challenges to work-life balance and diversity in the workplace. It also includes a few tailored questions for specific practice areas, highlighting key issues such as counterfeiting and the services at major IP offices.   Participation in the Global IP Benchmarking Survey is free and anonymous.   This project builds on the legacy of WTR and our sister title IAM's benchmarking surveys, as we seek to broaden the scope of our understanding of the IP industry. The hope is that it will give trademark professionals the ability to express their concerns and identify opportunities from across the IP sector.    To contribute your insights, access the Global IP Benchmarking Survey here.   Thank you.
