StopTheFakes ICO Wants To Eliminate $461 Billion Counterfeit Market

February 10, 2018 by admin Leave a Comment

Global copyright infringement is a massive problem. The total counterfeit market is valued at over $461 billion according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation.

Currently copyright holders and regulatory agencies are required to spend hundreds of millions of dollars in order to detect infringements of IP rights. Unfortunately, despite the huge amounts that are being spent on detection, their efforts have largely been unsuccessful.

The producers of fake products are agile and nimble. They are well organised and and able to rapidly setup new lines of fake goods.

Among that many benefits of the blockchain is the ability to create a transparent and immutable record of ownership. This has obvious potential benefits for helping to fight IP infringement.

StopTheFakes.io is a new blockchain startup which wants to apply blockchain technology to exactly that purpose. If successful it would make it much easier to identify where IP is being violated, no matter where the producer of fake products is located in the world.

StopTheFakes plans to setup and interplanetary file system (IPFS) which will enable the creation of a large database of IP rights in a way which is decentralised and scalable.
