  2. BASCAP quest for better information Economic impacts of counterfeiting and piracy • Better information on the scope, scale, costs and impacts of counterfeiting and piracy is critical to demonstrating the value of intellectual property to the economy and society more generally. • Since counterfeiting operates outside the law, estimating the exact level of counterfeiting and the harm it brings is extremely challenging. • For this reason, BASCAP has commissioned a number of expert groups (including this report by Frontier Economics) to examine the issue and to develop methodologies for estimating the economic and social impacts. • No one report or approach will yield a complete diagnosis or provide all the answers, but BASCAP is committed to learning from as many sources of expertise as possible.

  3. OECD provides a starting point • Taken together, the OECD has delineated four categories of losses, for which they provided estimates for one - counterfeit and pirated goods moving through international trade. • Category 1: counterfeit and pirated goods moving through international trade. • Category 2: value of domestically produced and consumed counterfeit and pirated products. • Category 3: the significant volume of pirated digital products being distributed via the Internet. • Category 4: broader economy-wide effects.

  4. BASCAP commissioned Frontier Economics (London) to investigate the impacts governments and consumers, e.g., tax, health, crime and investment. • The study was launched in Cancun during the 5th Global Congress in December 2009. • Findings are limited to G20 only. The economic impacts of counterfeiting
