The Label Printers Joins CIAC’s North American Summit

PRLog (Press Release) - Jun 08, 2010 -
Aurora, IL, June 8, 2010 – The Label Printers recently participated in the CIAC’s North American Summit in Arlington, VA.  Conference presenters included representatives of businesses such as Eaton Corporation and Leviton; government agencies such as the U.S. Department of Justice, and Immigration and Customs Enforcement; law enforcement groups such as Interpol, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police; and certification and standards organizations such as UL and ANSI. The Summit was attended by individuals representing the law enforcement community, IP and brand owners, anti-counterfeiting solution suppliers, and others interested in combating the global menace of counterfeiting and piracy.

The Summit’s Conferences covered the following topics and case studies:
•   Protecting Consumer Health & Safety Presentation
•   Global Leadership – Delivering National Solutions
•   Electrical Industry CIAC Related Case Study
•   Law Enforcement CIAC Related International Intervention Case Study
•   Panel 1 – Certification Industry – Working in Partnership with Industry
What Works and How Can we do Better Together?
•   Panel 2 – Law Enforcement/Government North American Perspective
What Works and How can we do Better Together?
•   Converting Information into Action

Presentations included information from Customs such as the value of seizures in 2009 ($260,000,000), and the types of items seized (which included the increasingly serious threats of counterfeit electrical and pharmaceutical products).  Rights holders, such as Eaton, face issues of highly recognized brands with high demand, coupled with high volume/low cost products (high volume counterfeiting is often about simple products such as batteries and electrical cords, which, when counterfeited, can have deadly consequences), marketed through a complex and loosely controlled supply/distribution chain.  And law enforcement and standards organizations discussed the critical nature of partnerships and coordination in combating counterfeiting, and the ever increasing threat to safety and even national security that it represents.

On a day which has been designated World Anti Counterfeiting Day, The Label Printers encourages everyone from consumers to rights holders to standards and enforcement agencies to form partnerships, become aware of the depth and breadth of the problem, and together seek solutions to the increasingly prevalent and even deadly menace of counterfeiting.
