SecureWatch24, New York, a provider of security, was recently invited to The White House to participate in a press conference regarding Intellectual Property Theft presided by the Honorable Eric H. Holder, Jr., Attorney General of the United States. The press conference marked the launch of a new public service advertising campaign about how counterfeiting and intellectual property theft impact the national economy and result in losses of jobs.
Holder underscored the Justice Department’s ongoing aggressive pursuit of all types of counterfeiting, including websites, designer clothing, illegal music downloads and prescription drugs, that have a detrimental effect on Americans. The event was hosted by the National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC), which in partnership with the public and private sectors developed a new public service advertising campaign for 2012 under the tagline: “Counterfeits hurt. You have the power to stop them.” The ads will be seen in a variety of media, including social media, radio, television and print.
