Doing Business in Philadelphia – Oct 12th

Webinar: Learn how to take down counterfeiters

Monster Cable shares their 11 point strategy for success
Tuesday September 28, 2010 at 1:00 PM EDT/10:00 AM PDT
This webinar is free

Event Description:

Counterfeit sales are now estimated to be a $600 billion a year problem. The problem is well-established in physical channels, but online channels are a growing concern for brands as it’s easier than ever for counterfeiters to capitalize on online auctions, B2B exchanges, and eCommerce sites.

At Monster Cable, as demand for their state-of-the-art cables and audio accessories soared, counterfeiters found the company’s strong brand to be a lucrative lure. Monster Cable decided to fight back, implementing a holistic, global strategy to take counterfeiters down—online and offline.

Dave Tognotti, General Counsel at Monster Cable, will explain how he successfully spearheaded a worldwide anti-counterfeiting program designed to combat counterfeiters wherever they lurked.

In this informative one-hour webinar, Dave will share his strategies for beating back counterfeiters—online & offline—including:

  • His 11 point strategy for choking off the distribution—and promotion—of fake goods
  • How he and his team coordinate with law enforcement and line-of-business teams to gain global visibility and take swift action
  • How he cost-efficiently fights counterfeiters by using online intelligence to pinpoint the source of fake goods—no matter where they may be located
  • His success to date: from factory raids to delisting fake goods on auction, B2B exchange & eCommerce sites
