Do you know over 12% of medicines, over 30% of agrochemical products, over 50% of cosmetics and over 70% of electronic appliances sold throughout the country are either fake or substandard/unauthorized?
It’s true. Such malpractice is continuously posing a threat to the prosperity of the economy and tarnishing the brand image & profitability of several brands. Worst of all, customers & general public are in great risk of using such substandard products.
With the ever-increasing ease of information, protecting Intellectual Property through the use of modern digital technology should be priority for all. Seeing such scenario, IPAB has chosen its steps wisely, with deep understanding, long term vision, and calibrated ambition and designed a much sought service of ‘Intellectual Property Digitalization in Bangladesh’. The program aims to provide the following services:
Under the project IPDB, Intellectual Property Association of Bangladesh (IPAB) will provide international standard technological support and solution which can be easily checked by the consumers before purchasing the product or service whether it is original or infringed. This technological solution will be based on web, mobile apps and SMS to prevent infringement (counterfeiting) and smuggling of products including violation of copyrights. IPDB will ensure strong authentication of products and supply chain security which will give confidence to the general consumers and other stakeholders. This initiative will facilitate further steps to achieve the vision of Digital Bangladesh and make significant contributions to the economy of the country.
