IP House’s Andrew Masterson had the pleasure of attending a conference hosted by ACG - The Anti-Counterfeiting Group, Counterfeiting & Illicit Trade in the Digital Age, where #IntellectualProperty experts and industry leaders gathered for informative sessions addressing #IP and what we can do together to make a meaningful impact.   At the conference, IP House was recognized for our efforts with TRACIT, along with several brands, to better identify those forced into labor and modern-day slavery.   Looking ahead to the new year, we will continue seeking new ways to improve collaboration in our efforts to tackle #IPcrime.   #anticounterfeit #protectip

IP House is proud to work alongside the U.S. Department of Justice in the recent conviction of the computer programmer of Jetflicks, one of biggest streaming sites in the world prior to its takedown. At its peak, Jetflicks claimed to stream more than 180,000 TV episodes, which is more than any legitimate licensed streaming service had available at that time. Jan van Voorn (IP House CEO) was an expert witness in this major copyright case and his testimony was a key factor in the successful prosecution of Yoany Vaillant who was the 8th and final defendant convicted in this case. Vaillant and his co-conspirators monitored the internet for infringing TV episodes using automated software and computer scripts. The infringing content was then distributed to tens of thousands of Jetflicks paid subscribers throughout the United States.   IP House provides AI-enabled monitoring and enforcement technology that delivers not only target prioritization but enforcement actions geared to interdict or fully disrupt major digital piracy operations, from movies & TV shows to music, book publishing, and software.

Last week, I had the honor of participating on behalf of IP House in a valuable training program in Cape Town, South Africa, on strengthening intellectual property enforcement for South African law enforcement and prosecutors. US DOJ, US Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and South Africa’s Companies and Intellectual Property Commission co-hosted this program.  Government officials and industry representatives joined forces to discuss how public-private collaboration can lead to stronger IP enforcement, to learn from successful case studies, and to brainstorm how to work together to overcome shared challenges.  Thanks to the many people who made this possible including Amanda Lotheringen, US DOJ ICHIPs Jaclyn Stahl and Cam Le, and HSI Pretoria.  #IPCrime #anticounterfeiting

In 2024, Vietnam's #counterfeit goods market remains significant, driven by both digital and physical channels with a wide range of products being affected. The country has fast become a major hub for counterfeit production and global distribution, with the presence of local and Chinese organized crime groups complicating enforcement by employing sophisticated methods to avoid detection. The economic impact of counterfeits is huge and impacts both local and international business sectors as well as millions of dollars in tax revenues lost to the Vietnam government. The widespread availability of fake goods also harms brand reputation and poses severe health and safety risks to uninformed and unsuspecting consumers.   IP House has over a decade of experience working with law enforcement agencies in Vietnam and meeting with senior echelons of key government departments to share digital content and counterfeit market trends and intelligence resulting in successful criminal prosecutions. An insight into IP crimes in Vietnam would not be complete without an understanding of the organized criminal collusion in neighboring Cambodia and Laos. IP House has a network and resources in these neighboring countries and access to effective enforcement.   Contact us to learn more: 🔗www.ip-house.com/contact   #ProtectIP #IPenforcement #anticounterfeit
