Counterfeiting and piracy costs the U.S. economy between $200-$250
billion per year. Every industry and sector of the economy is affected.
To combat this growing problem the U.S. Chamber of Commerce has launched a multi-million dollar initiative to thwart the growing threat of counterfeiting and piracy and protect public health and safety, defend the rights of business, and establish fair competition throughout the global marketplace.
Our mission is simple: to make the world a miserable place for modern day
counterfeiters and pirates.
