Counterfeit and pirated trade is a significant economic risk that undermines innovation and hampers economic growth. This open launch event will present the key findings of a joint OECD-EUIPO (EU International Patent Office) report that includes quantitative analysis on the value of trade in counterfeits and pirated goods worldwide.

The report provides the first global update by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development) on counterfeit trade since 2008.

The findings of the report highlight emerging trends, both globally and at country level, and the key industries affected by this illegal activity.

This session will be webcast and open to the media.
