Brand & New

Every two weeks, on Tuesday, Brand & New gives the floor to inspiring individuals, with a 360-degree vision, to help brand owners, intellectual property lawyers, and marketing and finance professionals (and beyond!) stay curious and agile in an ever-evolving business environment. 
Over these last few months, public authorities have warned citizens about the alarming increase in the lethality and availability of counterfeit prescription pills. These counterfeit drugs are mass-produced by criminal drug networks in labs, deceptively marketed as legitimate pills, and sometimes even killing unsuspecting or vulnerable individuals.

Fueled by easy Internet sales, global supply routes, and minimal effective punishments, counterfeit prescription drugs have become an exploding industry worth over US $75 billion a year worldwide, and at the same time, a massive economic, social, and public health issue. This trend has been reinforced by the COVID-19 pandemic, which fueled a global demand for medical supplies and medications.

What is the reality of this underground market at the global scale? How big of a threat are fake medications? What are the impacts, from an economic perspective as well as social and healthcare perspectives? What is the role of international organizations such as Interpol, focused on fighting criminal acts?

Our guest is Rory Corcoran, Assistant Director, Organized and Emerging Crime Directorate, INTERPOL, the global network of police forces representing 194 member countries, making it the world’s largest police organization, sharing data on crimes and criminals. 

Mr. Corcoran joined INTERPOL in 2018 and is now responsible for overseeing several of its organized crimes programs, including Environmental Security, and Illicit Goods and Global Health. Most recently, he has been in charge of leading INTERPOL’s worldwide fight against COVID-19-related crime. He has over 30 years of experience in law enforcement and spent the majority of his career in the Irish Counter Terrorism Unit and the Irish National Economic Crime Bureau.

While counterfeit goods are available almost everywhere online and offline, manufacturing and exportation is highly monopolized by a handful of countries. In the United States, the Department of Homeland Security reported seizures of counterfeit goods at U.S. borders have increased tenfold over the past two decades, with nearly 90 percent of seized products in 2018 arriving from mainland China or Hong Kong SAR, China. 

The most recent trade deal between the United States and China, in 2020, requires both countries to combat the prevalence of counterfeit or pirated goods, advocating for effective enforcement actions when private platforms fail to prevent intellectual property (IP) infringement. 

 What do the counterfeiting dynamics look like today, and have they evolved over recent years? What is the role played by China? How are recent infrastructure projects, and particularly the new Silk Road network of trade routes connecting China and other regions, changing the conversation?

The guest of this new episode of Brand&New, Toe Su Aung, is the co-founder and director of Elipe Limited, a consultancy firm based in London, UK, that provides strategic government relations, corporate affairs, and communication services, including advising companies on the protection of their intellectual property. Before setting up this company, Ms. Aung spent 20 years at British American Tobacco, where she carried out a variety of roles, including leading the legal and corporate affairs teams on IP protection and policy issues, as well as driving global strategies for addressing illicit trade.

While the digital age has unleashed huge positive and beneficial opportunities, there are also more controversial, debatable, or even unlawful or harmful innovations. With hidden data breaches, dark web criminality, chatbots trolls, or deep fake impersonations, high technology provides anyone – literally anyone – with many easily accessible effective tools to serve any malicious agenda they may have. In this episode, you will learn more about deep fakes and the “dark web”- the unindexed and anonymous part of the Internet not accessible via standard browsers or search engines. The dark web has built a solid reputation for being an ideal forum for cybercriminals, offering them anonymity and a global platform to plan and launch cyberattacks or more generally carry out illegal activities.  
Our guest, Andrew J. Grotto is Director, Program on Geopolitics, Technology and Governance at the Stanford Cyber Policy Center at Stanford University, Stanford, California, USA. Also at Stanford, he is a William J. Perry International Security Fellow at the Center for International Security and Cooperation, and a Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, with research interests focused on the national security and information technology innovation.

He helped shape and drive the implementation of President Obama’s Cybersecurity National Action Plan, and was the principal architect of President Trump’s cybersecurity executive order, “Strengthening the Cybersecurity of Federal Networks and Critical Infrastructure”. His portfolio spanned a wide range of cyber policy issues, and he also coordinated development and execution of technology policy topics with a nexus to cyber policy, such as encryption, surveillance, privacy, and the national security dimensions of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Global sales of counterfeits are growing at a furious 15 percent each year and have reached over US $1.82 trillion in 2020. This represents 3.3 percent of global trade (according to the OECD8), with e-commerce making up more than a quarter of that, according to the Global Brand Counterfeiting Report. The rise of digital channels facilitating the sale and purchase of consumer goods has indeed fueled a rapid increase in the trade of counterfeit products around the world. No retail products seem to be spared: from cosmetics to electronics, clothing and accessories, automotive parts, and even pandemic-related medical supplies. While we usually discuss the issue of counterfeiting in the context of large international groups, often in the luxury sector, with extensive brand portfolios, in practice, smaller brands may also be the targets and victims of this crime – with very high costs, too, for their business in the short and long run. 

What are the risks – for the revenue, the business, the brand – associated with counterfeiting as it relates to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)? What can be done, realistically, to prevent fakes and to remove them after they appear on the market? What about e-commerce platforms: is counterfeiting a necessary evil?

Our guest is an expert in brand protection and practical anti-counterfeiting strategies especially as they apply to SMEs. Philippe Van Eekhout, a lawyer, is the CEO of ContrAtak, where he develops and implements impactful strategies to overcome counterfeiting- related issues, with a focus on serving SMEs. Prior to founding ContrAtak 15 years ago, he worked for LVMH Fashion Group as its Asia-Pacific anti-counterfeiting coordinator, and for the French company BIC as IP manager.

As the world begins to adjust to the short and long-term impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies are seeking ways to preserve cash on their balance sheets while simultaneously raising funds to ensure a continuation of operations and a growth of their business and customer base. In particular, the sudden drop in revenues created acute liquidity shortages about a year ago, threatening the survival of many viable businesses. Having in mind this very challenging context, how do brands factor in and create value to support SMEs’ growth process? How can they increase brand value and leverage it for growth? What are the main considerations that impact a small business’s successful search for investors and funding? Do intellectual property (IP)-related issues factor in a bank’s lending decisions? How can SMEs be proactive in this respect? To discuss these issues, Brand&New welcomes two renowned guests with first-hand experience in business growth through financing.

David Haigh is the founder and CEO of Brand Finance plc, one of the world's leading branded business valuation and strategy consultancy.

Considering small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from an intellectual property (IP)perspective, it is all the more critical that SMEs don’t play by the same rules as larger businesses. Indeed, SMEs and larger firms in the European Union perform very differently with regard to their ownership and use of IP rights (IPR). 

The European Patent Office (EPO), based in Munich, Germany, recently reported that, although only a smaller proportion of SMEs (9%) own or use patents, trademarks, or designs when compared to larger firms (60%), the advantage that these IPRs provide in terms of revenue per employee is far greater for SMEs (+68%) than for larger firms (+18%). Understanding the role, impacts, and challenges associated with IP assets in the SME context is therefore necessary to design successful R&D, branding, and financial strategies – whether from a policy perspective or at the company-level.

Brand & New’s guest is EPO Chief Economist Yann Ménière, who joined the Office in 2016. Though currently on leave as a result of his role with the EPO, Mr. Ménière is professor of economics at MINES ParisTech, in France, where he led the chair on "IP and Markets for Technology." His research and expertise relate to the economics of innovation, competition, and IP. In recent years, he has been focusing more specifically on IP and standards, markets for technology, and IP issues in climate negotiations., He has written articles for academic publications as well as a number of policy studies for the European Commission, the French government, and other public organizations. In addition to MINES ParisTech, he is still teaching the economics of IT standards at Imperial College Business School and the economics of IP law at the Law School of Université Catholique of Louvain in Belgium.
