The Deputy Minister has concluded: \u201cPreventing and combating imitation of products and services means preserving shares in international trade that have been legitimately achieved and looking for ways to extend them, but it also means\u00a0opposing\u00a0a game in which everyone\u00a0stands to lose: the Country in terms of lower\u00a0tax\u00a0revenue;\u00a0consumers who pay excessively high prices for poor quality items and, obviously, workers\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On the occasion of the World Intellectual Property Day, Deputy Minister Manlio Di\u00a0Stefano has spoken\u00a0at the webinar held today on \u201cIntellectual Property serving companies in foreign markets\u201d organised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in collaboration with the ICE Agency.
