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.
