Counterfeiting cause the lost of almost 200,000 jobs and billions in sales every year in the EU. Only in the clothing, cosmetics and toy sectors!
This is one of the main conclusions of the study published by the EUIPO’s European Observatory on Infringements of Intellectual Property Rights, released today, which focuses on these three sectors.
The study once again shows that the problem of piracy, far from being solved, persists and it has even increased exponentially due to its adaptation to the new online environments.
At Abril Abogados we believe that it is necessary to closely monitor the problem and to put all the efforts on effective solutions for the IP rightsholders, either through the exercise of traditional actions, such as enforcement of customs measures, as well as through the use of measures adapted to the new environments.
In the case of our firm, we are offering the “IP Online Protection” service, which aims to safeguard the interests of the rightsholders on the Internet, social networks and/or marketplaces, thanks to the use of state-of-the-art IT tools, which combined with the feedback of our analysts provides incredible solutions, with an excellent quality-price ratio. Please, ask us!
