Intellectual Property

Piracy, counterfeiting, infringement, and other forms of intellectual property theft pose an increasingly serious threat to American businesses. Recent statistics suggest that counterfeit goods constitute nearly 10% of all world trade, resulting in over $500 billion in lost global sales. As much as half of those sales, between $200 and $250 billion, are lost to American businesses every year. Despite these indicators, many businesses fail to take even the simplest steps to protect themselves against intellectual property theft and infringement. Due to limited resources and expertise in the field of intellectual property, small to mid-sized businesses are, unsurprisingly, often the most likely to fail to properly protect their interests.
