FROM THE EDITOR

Dear Brand Protection Professional:

Welcome to the 5th issue of our quarterly brand protection journal dedicated to the mission of addressing the relevant issues of our industry.  This edition marks the one year anniversary of The Brand Protection Professional, launched in September 2016 at the International IP Crime Conference in London. So let me first take time to thank you, the subscriber, for your support. I am proud to be part of providing a voice to our profession and a place to exchange ideas and share information vital to protecting brands.

We continue to strive to provide our readers with an accessible, comprehensive forum containing essential information for the brand protection community.  To continue to do so I encourage you to join the conversation by submitting an article for publication, participating in the Temperature Test polls or BP Forum, or engaging in a conversation in The View From The Field.  Please always feel free to contact me directly at leahevertburks@gmail.com.
