DEALING WITH COUNTERFEITING REQUIRES AN INTERNATIONAL APPROACH

In 1988 I was the Secretary General of the Geneva-based International Committee Against Counterfeiting (COLC) headed by the former President of the Swiss Confederation to fight on an international level against all attacks on intellectual property rights, namely counterfeiting and unfair competition as well as influence international, intergovernmental or supranational organizations as well as government leaders on the need for increased protection and law enforcement. We did call on many governments in Europe and around the world.
