Counterfeiting and Piracy are two of the
fastest growing economic crimes in the world today. They threaten the economies
of developed and developing countries alike, undermine trading relations,
endanger public health and safety and affect new investment for economic
growth. They affect all categories of products, but the impact is very high in
sectors / product categories like fast moving consumer goods, pharmaceuticals,
electronics, automobile and aircraft parts, music, publishing, software,
telecom, cosmetics, personal care, beverages etc.
To address the above issues, the
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is organizing a two day International
Conference on “Anti-Counterfeiting & Anti-Piracy “on 6-7 September 2012 at Hotel
Hyatt Regency, Andheri, Mumbai. The main objectives of the conference will be
to highlight the economic and social issues/damages due to counterfeiting and
piracy, to discuss the issues involved in combating counterfeiting (policy and
enforcement related), to discuss sector specific issues and share case studies,
to strengthen enforcement (lessons from Global Practices), to identify the role
of technology in anti-counterfeiting and to chalk out strategies for industry.
