IP Fraud

Intellectual Property rights provide protection for people's inventions and creations through patents, trade marks, copyright and designs. Un-authorised use of someone's IP can be classed as IP crime or fraud, and may lead to prosecution.  Counterfeiting, the willful infringement of a trade mark on products and services such as clothing, and piracy, the infringement of copyright on products such as CDs, DVDS and software, are IP crimes which are becoming more and more frequent.  And these threats are moving quickly across borders, enabled by globalization and the advent of the internet.

For the government agencies charged with predicting, preventing and responding to the threats posed by IP crime, and protecting all those involved on a worldwide scale, the task has never been more challenging.  With both threat volumes and regulatory requirements growing exponentially, and the resources available to investigate and combat the threats limited, what’s the answer?

The most forwarding-thinking agencies are looking for ways to automate their investigation operations, and manage all available intelligence in such a way as to offer real-time data on, and response to, potential IP threats.  The Memex anti-IP-fraud solution not only automates the investigation process, it allows agencies to streamline their operations, improve their ability to detect and combat threats, and optimise their investigation resources.  Above all, it offers a real chance to reduce and even eliminate the economic threats posed by IP fraud.
