PARIS - As part of its Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy (BASCAP) project, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has launched a unique tracking system to produce a series of daily and monthly reports on Intellectual Property Rights crimes, according to a press release by the Chamber.
BASCAP is gathering intelligence on reported counterfeiting and piracy incidents, brands involved, country locations and seizure values. The information is brought together from publicly available sources in an attempt to capture the global extent of counterfeiting and piracy.
