26. 26 Joint Statement by CLEPA, JAPIA and MEMA Announcing Cooperative Effort to Fight Counterfeiting, Intellectual Property Rights Violations Respect for intellectual property rights not only protects the interests of the rights holders, but also serves to uphold the development of society and protect consumer safety. However, counterfeit products are increasing on a global scale and the adoption of effective countermeasures is urgently needed. Given the risk that low quality counterfeit automotive parts and products pose to public health and safety, we acknowledge that all counterfeiting activities must be firmly challenged globally. As one step in the process of stemming the tide of counterfeit parts and IPR violations at international automotive trade shows, we agree to adopt and enforce the guidelines used at the Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX), the annual trade show held in Las Vegas, Nev. USA. These guidelines have been effective at reducing counterfeit product displays and IPR violations at AAPEX.
