<p>During the month of February, Al Tamimi &amp; Company's IP Department hosted a seminar for the Criminal Investigations Department of Abu Dhabi. The session was attended by law enfacement officials, with the IP lawyers presenting on behalf of brand owners. The purpose of the session was to educate and inform Abu Dhabi law enforcement officials on the importance of brand protection and at the same time how to differentiate between genuine and counterfeit goods. Such sessions are invaluable to brand owners allowing them the opportunity to present their brands to law enforcement while obtaining their support in the fight against counterfeiting.</p>
