From Defense to Offense: Protecting Your Brand from Counterfeiting While Turning Your Loss into Profit
Brief:
In an increasingly interconnected digital world, with counterfeiters now armed with an arsenal of digital tools to exploit any brand at lightspeed, we explore how brands can safeguard their rights from those who are looking to financially benefit from their fame and popularity, while discussing ways to turn such loss into profit.
Bio:
Paul founded Digital Enforcement Concepts which was the culmination of over 30 years of UK military & law enforcement experience to deliver world class services and solutions to clients. Most of Paul’s police career was spent in intelligence, operational & enforcement roles which highlighted the immense value of a proactive, tactical solution to the threat posed by Organised Crime Groups.
As DEC has grown into a global presence, the core values and focus of the company have remained unchanged- It is in his DNA to use his skills and abilities, and those of the team, to protect companies and the general public, from the often devastating personal and economic impact of counterfeiting.
