This collection delivers what it promisesa broad-based, quantifiable total business solution approach to anticounterfeiting efforts. The total business solution approach provides a valuable playbook for in-house brand protection practitioners and is critical reading for those responsible for brand protection activities within an organization. But it is also useful for outside counsel and trademark practitioners generally to better understand the business perspective and gain insight on how to counsel toward a proactive approach. -- The Trademark Reporter The book offers a detailed range of actionable strategies and suggests alternatives to traditional approaches, making it an important read for those in the brand protection space. -- Trevor Little, World Trade Review Just got my copy of Jeremy Wilson's book Brand Protection and the Global Risk of Product Counterfeits. I'm only two chapters in and already I am thrilled! It's the brand protection book I've been waiting for my whole career. Once done I'll write up a full review, but I wanted to take a quick moment to encourage all brand protection professionals to grab a copy right now you won't be disappointed. -- William Mansfield, ABRO Industries, Inc. and University of Saint Francis, US I wish I had this book when I first started in brand protection. Back then, I was in learning mode and constantly seeking sources to inform my strategy and approach. What I found was that there wasnt a lot of practical information readily available about how to combat the problem of illicit trade. With this volume, Jeremy and his cast of expert contributors have helped to fill this gap in practical knowledge in the field. Theyve laid out a very prescriptive approach about how to build a comprehensive, end-to-end solutionor total business solutionto brand infringement. This book provides an excellent foundation and reference for practitioners and decision makers about what it takes to protect your patients, customers, brands, and business from bad actors in the marketplace. -- Richard Kaeser, Johnson & Johnson, US
