Please join the Institute for Policy Innovation (IPI) and the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest (CMPI) for a Capitol Hill briefing on recent developments in the counterfeits problem, and learn what is being done to protect consumers from counterfeit goods, both by industry and by the public sector. Hear directly from U.S. government agencies about their efforts to combat counterfeits, both domestically and internationally. And hear international perspectives on the counterfeit problem during a special interactive session with attendees from the embassy community. You’ll leave with a much better sense of the current state of efforts to combat counterfeits, and of what still remains to be done.
