Topic:  Anticounterfeiting Strategies and Trends

Counterfeiting costs businesses billions of dollars each year and the number is rising. Knockoff products can steal sales, create downward pressure on prices, erode profit margins and damage your reputation and goodwill. Courtney and Grant will discuss prevention and enforcement strategies to help protect your brand against counterfeiters and intellectual property pirates.

He specializes in patent, licensing and trade secret litigation, using his experience to advise clients on ways to maximize the value of their intellectual property assets or defend against attacks from other companies.
