STOP COUNTERFEITING AND PIRACY (SCAP)
SCAP is open to all individuals, companies and organizations, large and small, committed to the fight against counterfeiting and piracy. Participants are invited to endorse SCAP objectives, contribute to the development of SCAP projects and lend their organizations name to the SCAP growing list of supporters. We are poised to bring the gap between advocacy and enforcement.
SCAP MISSION
To connect the business community, individuals and non-governmental organisations across the country so as to more efficiently identify and address intellectual property rights (IPR) issues and petition for greater commitments by local, state and federal government agents in the enforcement and protection of brands against counterfeiting and piracy.
SCAP OBJECTIVES
• Increase public and political awareness and understanding of counterfeiting and piracy activities and the associated economic and social harm.

• Compel government action and the allocation of resources towards improved IPR enforcement.

• Create a culture change where intellectual property is respected and protected.

SCAP seeks to accomplish these objectives by:

• Connecting ongoing business activities, business strategies and messages.

• Producing information and products that have value to corporations and trade associations across sectors.

• Providing a platform for leveraging ongoing and new business initiatives through use of the business network and contacts with regulatory agencies; network of media relationships; and relationships with non governmental organizations.

Additionally, companies and organizations are invited to:
• Provide in-kind support, by contributing to the drafting of materials, translating documents, participating on implementation teams, hosting stakeholder events and organizing legislative initiatives or educational workshops nationwide.
• Financially support the initiative. Recognizing the differing objectives and abilities of companies and organizations, CS is categorically seeking participation and support for the SCAP initiative at the following levels:

SCAP NATIONAL LEADERSHIP GROUP

• Contribute toward financing core SCAP activities, including development and deployment of SCAP products and publicity, and outreach activities.

Participants:
Representatives appointed by members of the National Leadership Group; and select non-governmental organizations and representative of regulatory bodies.
