Attorney General Jim Hood and representatives from the national business community came together Tuesday to announce the launch of the state’s first Intellectual Property Theft Task Force.
Hood; Carlos Linares, from the Recording Industry Association of America; and Bob Barchiesi, president of the International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition, made the announcement during a news conference.
In September, Hood announced the receipt of a federal grant to establish the Intellectual Property Theft Task Force and the commencement of “Operation Knock Out Knock-Offs.”
The task force held its initial meeting and training in October, with more than 40 state, federal and local agencies participating.
