Counteracting Counterfeits

Illegal profit from counterfeiting translates into millions of losses each year for industries, governments and communities. Businesses lose sales revenue, governments lose tax revenue, communities lose jobs, and consumers who unknowingly purchase counterfeit merchandise end up with inferior products at a high price.

Industrial and commercial counterfeiting is a growing crime and serious threat to world trade and global development. Counterfeiting not only costs money, but can cost lives. Quality components made by respected manufacturers are often disassembled and copied using substandard materials and workmanship. From pharmaceuticals to aircrafts, the health and safety dangers posed by imposters can lead to devastating consequences.
