Symposium on the Internet and Intellectual Property Crime
March 1-3, 2001
Hotel Russell, Russell Square - London, England
Mission Statement:
Intellectual property rights play an increasingly important role in
economic and technological development and cultural expression. With
the advent and exponential growth of the Internet, these critical
rights are subject to an unprecedented global assault, threatening
the value of those rights to our citizens, companies, and
governments.
The purpose of this three-day Symposium is to serve as a forum for
government and business leaders to meet to share their experiences
and expertise in the enforcement of intellectual property rights, and
to learn about the latest technological advances in the commission
and investigation of intellectual property crimes.
The goals of the Symposium are to present a balanced view of the
economic, political, and social challenges inherent in addressing
these crimes, and to illustrate the need for cooperative
international solutions.
