The Internet provides the infrastructure for a multi-trillion dollar, rapidly growing economy and the costs of intellectual property crime are enormous. With two-thirds of the global population online, brand protection is no longer just an option for corporations.

Patterns in Brand Monitoring considers the ways in which a scientific approach can be applied to the analysis of brand protection data, essential for filtering and prioritizing the results and yielding insights into trends and patterns in infringement activity.

Throughout the book, technical definitions and formulations of key ideas are presented in information boxes and are illustrated by the use of real case studies.

The book is of relevance to stakeholders responsible for brand protection, intellectual property management, marketing or digital services in any organization, and to anyone with a general interest in the industry. It illustrates how an effective analysis approach can build efficiencies into a brand protection program, provide guidance on areas of focus, and demonstrate return on investment.
