Topic: From Strategy to Action: A Multilevel Response to Counterfeit Battery Threats

Our 2025 IIPCIC workshop presents an interactive tabletop exercise based on the IIPCIC Task Force Model for preventing and combating IP crime, with a special focus on operational and tactical level interventions. Centered on the real-world threat of life-endangering counterfeit batteries, the workshop will guide participants through coordinated multi-agency responses, intelligence sharing, and hands-on enforcement scenarios. The workshop will emphasize intelligence-driven decision-making, inter-agency cooperation, and public-private partnerships, offering a dynamic simulation of how structured, scalable task forces can effectively respond to real-world IP crime threats.
