Graham will participate as a panelist for ‘Global Anticounterfeiting Enforcement: Hot Topics in a New Era’ on Thursday, November 19.

Graham will join peers from INTA and CMS Spain on a panel to discuss current anticounterfeiting trends and hot topics focused on North America, Europe and China. The panelists will discuss anticounterfeiting enforcement online and offline, focusing on recent developments in online enforcement, border measures nationally and cross-boundaries, and what cooperative efforts have been done and can be made to improve stakeholder collaboration.
