Sports, Media & Entertainment
It is estimated that the sport industry loses approximately €500 million
in the EU alone every year.
Sports, media & entertainment are massive targets for counterfeiters. They look to capitalize on pop culture and seasonal events to exploit spikes in popularity and flog their illegitimate products.
However, there is also a flipside for these sectors that a lot of those who infringe on their IP are not acting maliciously, but rather are fans of a specific sports team or character within a TV series or movie. For these instances, it requires someone enforcing on your behalf who has the knowledge and expertise to understand the difference and act appropriately where necessary.
Another factor a lot of sports, media & entertainment companies have to consider is their licensing agreements. Counterfeiters often take advantage of these situations as they are not well monitored, but with the proper technology and strategy in place, brands can fight them off and make themselves a far more attractive partner for licensees to work with.
