I’m Vinny Minhas, and my focus is on designing brand protection programs that go beyond reactive, one-off measures to address the root causes of IP challenges. With experience across a wide range of industries, I understand that every brand’s approach to IP and brand protection must be unique. By blending customized strategies with scalable technology, I aim to build resilient programs that effectively balance automation and human insight—recognizing that some elements require legal expertise and a hands-on approach. I believe strongly in the power of a holistic program that bridges online intelligence with offline actions. What we learn online can, and should, inform broader offline strategies, including proactive measures like raids, partnerships with law enforcement, and collaborations with government organizations such as CBP. By leveraging data-driven insights across both realms, we can support brands in achieving a comprehensive level of protection for their IP portfolios. I'm looking forward to connecting with legal and brand protection professionals who value this balanced, strategic approach to safeguarding intellectual property.
Counterfeit products are no longer just physical threats; they have evolved into sophisticated digital schemes that challenge brands and consumers alike. In this interactive roundtable, we will delve into the evolution of counterfeits, examining both physical items and their modern sales tactics. Through a hands-on unboxing experience, participants will explore how to distinguish between authentic and counterfeit goods while discussing the legal and reputational challenges these items create.
We’ll also uncover how counterfeiters are leveraging social media and fake ads to not only sell fake products but also drive unsuspecting consumers to phishing sites that impersonate legitimate brands. This session is designed for legal professionals and brand representatives aiming to stay ahead of these emerging threats and safeguard intellectual property in a rapidly changing digital landscape.
