The Canadian Anti-Counterfeiting Network estimates the value of the counterfeit trade market at $991 billion and net job losses of 4 to 5 million as a result of counterfeiting and piracy.

Anti-counterfeiting is the practice of applying processes that allow an item’s authenticity to be confirmed at all stages of the supply chain. This can include protections to packaging, certificates of authentication, or technologies to track, trace and verify.  With anti-counterfeit defenses in place, brand owners can reduce the risk of consumers being confused by counterfeit goods.
