The Anti-counterfeiting Group
The Anti-counterfeiting Group (ACG) is a not-for-profit trade association, recognized as a leading authority on the worldwide trade in fakes. ACG was founded in the United Kingdom in 1980 with just 18 members in the automotive industry, who discovered that they all had a common problem with counterfeit parts. We now represent nearly 200 organizations globally, operating in, or providing specialist advice to, most industry sectors where counterfeiting is an issue.
International Trademark Association
The International Trademark Association (INTA) is a not-for-profit membership association of more than 5,500 trademark owners and professionals, from more than 190 countries, dedicated to the support and advancement of trademarks and related intellectual property as elements of fair and effective national and international commerce.
INTA was founded in 1878 by 17 merchants and manufacturers who saw a need for an organization “to protect and promote the rights of trademark owners, to secure useful legislation and to give aid and encouragement to all efforts for the advancement and observance of trademark rights.” After 130 years, INTA continues its mission to represent the trademark community, shape public policy and advance professional knowledge and development.
The International Anti-counterfeiting Coalition
The International Anti-counterfeiting Coalition (IACC) is the world's largest non-profit organization devoted solely to protecting intellectual property and deterring counterfeiting. Our membership spans from automotive, apparel, luxury goods and pharmaceuticals, to food, software and entertainment. From the small privately owned companies to large multinationals, we share one common goal – to combat counterfeiting and piracy.
Critical to the IACC's purpose is its belief that acts of counterfeiting create severe public health and safety hazards, as well as economic harm. The IACC initiates actions and supports government actions that will ultimately result in increased enforcement, lead to the prosecution of IP infringers, and create a strong deterrent to counterfeiters and pirates.
