Thanks to our partners at the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) for taking part in our recent IACC 2024 Annual Conference as speakers, exhibitors and roundtable hosts. Great to also have McGruff join us from the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC), who has collaborated with the USPTO on the Go For Real Campaign to educate consumers about the dangers of fakes. #IACCConf2024 #brandprotection #conferences #GoForReal #USPTO

Counterfeiters copy trends at the risk of consume health and safety. The WHO recently issued an alert warning of counterfeit Ozempic in the market stating that the fakes "may result in the ineffective treatment of patients due to incorrect dosage, contamination with harmful substances, or use of unknown or substituted ingredients." This again underscores the need for government and industry to continue to fight against fakes and the dangers they bring to consumers. https://bit.ly/3L0q9Ma.
