Turkey
BASCAP has worked to improve IPRs in Turkey since 2011, organizing and attending intellectual property events, producing publications and rallying behind advocacy campaigns.
Turkey is the second-largest counterfeit product market in the world. 58% of consumers in Turkey admit to regularly purchasing illicit products. The magnitude of the problem is a significant drain on tax revenues and hurts employment and foreign direct investment (FDI).
In 2011 BASCAP began work in Turkey with its high-level conference "Maximizing the Value of IP in Turkey". BASCAP members continue to work within the country, partnering IP events, producing legislative and policy recommendations for the advancement of IPRs, and facilitating advocacy campaigns such as "Fakes Cost More, I Buy Real".
