BASCAP

Mission

The Business Action to Stop Counterfeiting and Piracy (BASCAP) was launched by the International Chamber of Commerce in 2004 to fight against piracy and counterfeiting and protect intellectual property. At BASCAP our mission is to:

  • Connect and mobilize businesses across industries, sectors and national borders in the fight against counterfeiting and piracy.
  • Pool resources and expertise – creating greater critical mass than any single company or sector could do alone.
  • Amplify the voice and views of business to governments, public and media – increasing both awareness and understanding of counterfeiting and piracy activities and the associated economic and social harm.
  • Compel government action and the allocation of resources towards strengthened intellectual property rights enforcement.
  • Create a culture change to ensure intellectual property is respected and protected.
