Obama Administration to Fight Trademark Violations

The Obama Administration is set to fight trademark violations. In addition, they are also fighting against copyright infringements. These efforts are to protect intellectual property and will encompass the aid of various agencies and other nations.

At the crux of the battle is an industry that has seen its fair share of loss. The technology industry lost $50 billion last year in software piracy alone. This was a global loss.

While the Internet is a source of information it has also become a hot bed for violations. Despite widely publicized crackdowns, the illegal downloading of copyrighted videos, music and computer games is an ongoing problem.

Collaboration between the U.S., law enforcement and international organizations will not only help to cut down on violations but will also improve data collection in order to enforce infringement laws.

This will also incorporate the help of our Secret Service who already deal with issues such as: 

• Access-device fraud;
• Identify theft;
• Computer fraud; and
• Computer-based attacks on our country's banking and financial infrastructure.
