Global IP Protection
Global IP protection involves enforcing brand intellectual property rights across international jurisdictions — where legal frameworks, marketplace structures, and enforcement mechanisms differ significantly from those in the United States. Brands selling internationally face compounded risk: grey market goods crossing borders, parallel imports entering markets outside brand authorization, and counterfeiters operating from jurisdictions with weak IP enforcement.
China presents the most complex IP enforcement environment for US and European brands. The EU and UK have their own parallel import rules — notably more permissive than US standards — which directly affect how brands must structure European distribution to maintain pricing control.
