Do you know where your Licensed Products are?

You may not know as much as you think and maybe even less than you are told!

In today’s global economy licensed products are faced with increasing challenges caused by unauthorized product manufacturing, and the shipping of those unauthorized products.

These are two significant, serious and growing issues in today’s complex world-wide business environment that carry a number of potential consequences – from loss of profits to potential legal action from licensors and other stake holders.

Think of it…
Authorized products are competing with unauthorized production overrun and counterfeiting; often using inferior and unsafe materials, to meet demands from consumers in territories far from home, or well beyond the scope and reach of regional offices, agents or representatives.

Remote manufacturing has blurred supply chain awareness, while emerging markets have created immediate local demand that circumvents traditional distribution and consumption models. 

It’s simple – do the math!  
Assured Products Group, calculates that authorized licensed products are averaging five to ten times the price of unauthorized products in the same market, putting companies at a significant disadvantage, creating unwanted, detrimental brand exposure and accelerated share loss worldwide.

Here is the bottom line problem:
Companies will miss license revenue opportunities from the units they did not know existed, incur significant cost with traditional licensing audits and efforts to find them, and ultimately absorb brand erosion, charge backs, warranty claims, and consumer dissatisfaction.  Parasitic branding has subsumed many discontinued brands in developing economies, directly pressuring new and improved replacements.

Here is the bottom line solution:
