Your strategic partner in the fight against gray marketing, counterfeiting, digital IP protection and service and warranty abuse.

Intellectual property (IP) theft costs the U.S. economy up to $600 billion annually, encompassing counterfeiting, piracy, and trade secret theft. As technology advances, IP theft has become easier and more widespread, making strong protections more critical than ever.

Globally, counterfeiting alone resulted in $1.1 trillion in displaced economic activity in 2022, leading to $174 billion in lost sales tax revenue and impacting up to 5.4 million jobs. Beyond financial losses, counterfeit goods damage brand reputations, erode customer trust, and pose safety risks to consumers.

To combat these threats, AGMA Global, a nonprofit and the largest organization solely dedicated to IP protection in the high-tech industry, focuses on four key areas

Gray Marketing

Preventing unauthorized product distribution.

Counterfeiting

Stopping fake goods that harm brands and consumers.

Service & Warranty Abuse

Addressing fraudulent warranty claims and service misuse.

Digital IP Protection

Safeguarding intellectual property in the digital space.

By prioritizing these issues, AGMA works to protect innovation, strengthen the global economy, and ensure a secure, thriving high-tech industry.
