Counterfeit goods and online piracy threaten the long held right of copyright owners to expect a fair return for their intellectual capital and hard work
IP-Echelon collaborates with the world’s leading intellectual property organisations across public, private, and government sectors to monitor the world’s counterfeit operations and illicit distribution channels. Our international network of technical and subject matter experts in the areas of Internet security, computer forensics, intellectual property law, and behavioural science work together to anticipate trends and developments of note. With this knowledge, IP-Echelon is able to further advance education and outreach regarding illicit distribution of intellectual property and its impact on rights holders and the economy at large.
