Exclusive to CIB members, the monthly Counterfeiting Confidential includes information on the provenance of counterfeit products and their distribution networks. It also provides an overview on current topics, news on new product protection and anti-counterfeiting techniques, and details on the latest initiatives and enforcement strategies.

Sent to members as a PDF via email and hard copy, the publication includes names of organisations, their contact details and information about their representatives, presented in an easy to absorb short report format.

Accompanying articles explain the activities of counterfeiters, referring to and showing where applicable, examples of the products they have produced and highlighting the differences between these and the genuine article.

The delivery format of Counterfeiting Confidential allows members to index, store and cross-reference cases for their own use. It also enables organisations to use the information as a means of warning others that may be vulnerable within the business and need to know what to look out for.
