• Why Should you be Attending?
• Counterfeiting has significant
  economic consequences. In reality, it "hijacks"
  the brand and infringes the patent and trademark
  rights of legitimate pharmaceutical
  manufacturers. Additionally, counterfeiters take
  full advantage of the fact that someone else paid
  the upfront money for research and development
  expenses all counterfeiters have to do is to
  copy the appearance of the product.Even if a
  drug is manufactured in the United States or by
  an international reputable firm, many of the raw
  ingredients of a drug are often imported from
  countries that have loose regulatory oversight.
  This was the case with Heparin a few years ago,
  where a counterfeit ingredient in the drug caused
  the death of 80 people.
