Session Overview
In this presentation, Director General of IP Australia, Michael Schwager, discusses a new Federal Government initiative – ‘Smart Trade Mark’ – and how it has been implemented so far.
‘Smart Trade Mark’ is a new way of authenticating merchandise online. It was developed to tackle the USD 2.8 trillion worth of counterfeit goods currently being traded on the global market. Not only do these counterfeit goods have a negative impact on authentic traders, but they are estimated to put 5.4 million jobs at risk over the next two years.
‘Smart Trade Mark’ has already seen success by partnering with the National Rugby League in Australia, and in this talk Michael reveals key insights about how best to choose a strategic partner and get more out of communicating with customers.
