In many cases branche organisations are authorized by their members to take action against illegal actions that have influence on the entire branche. This is the case for counterfeits, parallel import, gray market sales and more infringements like these that might influence all companies in that branche or territory

Such organisations are for instance: The Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry (Federation Horlogerie de Suisse),  or the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI). The Swiss federation has to deal with a lot of counterfeit products in their branche, especially from the Asian market. The IFPI has to deal with a lot of cd copies and file swapping communities such as KaZaA, where the users exchange copyright protected songs.

Both organisations could easily be helped by Pretection in solving these kinds of problems. For the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry, Pretection could easily monitor the Internet for counterfeits on all brands. It's technology can easily support this scan and all relevant sites will be filtered by the content analysts. All infringing websites will be published in Pretection Extranet making it possible for the brand owners to view all websites offering counterfeits of their brands. Such an cooperated effort will make it easier for the brands and the federation to take action against the owners of these websites

For the IFPI, Pretection could easily monitor all websites offering copied cd-r's, mp3's counterfeit's and bootleg's. Pretection can provide the IFPI with the information on all the owners of these websites. It is also possible for Pretection to spoof the file swapping communities, making it virtually impossible to find unharmed tracks. 

Pretection is well able to do such extensives scans for an entire branch. The published results will make it easier for the branche organisation to react in an coordinated effort, than for the brand owners to react separately.
