"Building Pharmaceutical Anti-Counterfeiting Programs" (Nov. 18, 2009 - Los Angeles, CA)

(We are posting this event notice as a courtesy to the organizers.  It is not a Partnership event.)

This short-course is designed to be a comprehensive, introductory course in how pharmaceutical/medical device companies can understand and effectively manage the growing global counterfeiting threat.

The course, taught by experts from the field, examines the nature of the criminal challenge, Government/industry roles and responsibilities, the legal underpinnings that define the crime and how it can be pursued. It goes on to examine how companies can organize and build processes to deter, detect and disrupt counterfeiting and how to integrate these efforts into ongoing business management and governance. The course will conclude with a discussion of how security technologies should be used to buttress the overall program.  It will briefly address the issue of product serialization, followed by a review of key industry collaborative activities.
