About this event:

Counterfeiting is a multi-billion-dollar problem today, impacting all

stakeholders of society and emerged as a global problem. With low barriers

to the market entry and infiltration, no country is immune from the impact of

counterfeiting and no single sector can be said to be an exception. The

market for fake or counterfeit or smuggled products is one of the biggest

challenges faced by Indian industry, impacting 'Brand India' globally.

This workshop is a series of events by Authentication Solution Providers'

Association (ASPA) to create awareness amongst brand owners and

government officials towards counterfeiting and importance of

authentication solutions in fighting this problem.

This workshop is designed for professional entrepreneurs, brand managers

and government officials on how to protect their brands, trademarks, service

marks, and copyright. By attending the workshop, participants will obtain

valuable insight from ASPA members (protecting more than 15000 brands

globally) and those who are working in – or are currently building – an anti-

counterfeiting & brand protection program.
