The term “gray market” can be used in multiple ways. The two primary usages of this term indicate a market for legal goods that is carried on in a manner that is not intended by the original manufacturer of the goods.
The gray market effect on brand reputationNEW Momentum
The document discusses the gray market and its negative effects on brand reputation. The gray market is defined as the unofficial distribution of genuine products. While legal, it is unauthorized by the original manufacturer. Gray market goods can damage brands by offering discounts that steal customers and revenue. It also strains manufacturer and dealer relationships and can cause legal issues if products are incompatible with local markets. Effective solutions are needed to protect brand reputation from gray market effects, such as enterprise risk management and brand intelligence tools to quickly identify unauthorized sales that damage the brand.
How to Stop Gray Market and Counterfeit PiracyNEW Momentum
Theft. Piracy. Counterfeits. Gray market activity. These words and their implied threat to any company’s bottom line intimidate even the most intrepid executive.
"Outsourcing and globalization have numerous benefits, but they have a significant downside—the proliferation of counterfeits and sales through unauthorized channels."
Ways to End Gray Market Sales & Its EffectNEW Momentum
In today’s fast evolving global economy, gray market diversion is gradually becoming an acute concern that most brands encounter. Unlike black market practices, were refurbished, counterfeit or stolen products are sold as authentic brand products, gray market activities involve unauthorized movement of commerce across multiple territories by fake distributors and channel partners.

White paper stopping counterfeit pharmaceuticals 0309NEW Momentum
This white paper discusses the growing problem of counterfeit pharmaceuticals and proposes four ways for pharmaceutical companies to address it. It notes that 10% of global drug supply is counterfeit, with some countries over 50%, and counterfeit drug sales are growing much faster than the legitimate market. The paper advocates for counterfeit protection on packaging, RFID tracking in supply chains, security features on dosages, and advanced web monitoring to identify counterfeits. It argues the private sector must lead solutions to protect patients, brands, and industry profits from counterfeiting.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.

Bram Verhoef, Head of Machine Learning at Axelera AI, presents the “How Axelera AI Uses Digital Compute-in-memory to Deliver Fast and Energy-efficient Computer Vision” tutorial at the May 2024 Embedded Vision Summit.
As artificial intelligence inference transitions from cloud environments to edge locations, computer vision applications achieve heightened responsiveness, reliability and privacy. This migration, however, introduces the challenge of operating within the stringent confines of resource constraints typical at the edge, including small form factors, low energy budgets and diminished memory and computational capacities. Axelera AI addresses these challenges through an innovative approach of performing digital computations within memory itself. This technique facilitates the realization of high-performance, energy-efficient and cost-effective computer vision capabilities at the thin and thick edge, extending the frontier of what is achievable with current technologies.
In this presentation, Verhoef unveils his company’s pioneering chip technology and demonstrates its capacity to deliver exceptional frames-per-second performance across a range of standard computer vision networks typical of applications in security, surveillance and the industrial sector. This shows that advanced computer vision can be accessible and efficient, even at the very edge of our technological ecosystem.
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Combating Different Risks with an Effective ERM Solution Part II
1. Combating Different Risks with an Effective ERM Solution Part II
In the first part of this article we looked at two of the most important risks faced by enterprises
worldwide namely product counterfeiting and gray market sales. In the concluding part of this article,
we would look at some other enterprise risks and how to combat these risks with an effective
Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) solution.
Minimum Advertised Price (MAP)
MAP refers to the minimum price at which the retailer can sell products. It can go above the specified
price but not below it. MAP is an arrangement wherein suppliers can set a lower limit on the prices
that its resellers may advertise for the supplier's products. The MAP policy programs can either be a
unilateral policy imposed by the manufacturer/supplier or an agreement between the
manufacturer/supplier and its resellers. The purpose of MAP programs is to ensure consistent pricing
for consumers and profit for sellers. However, certain resellers violate the MAP policy programs to
make quick money. They sell the products on the Internet at a rate lower than the MAP fixed by the
manufacturer / supplier. Such a move on the part of the reseller damages distributor loyalty, margins
and most importantly the brand.
Trademark Infringement
Wikipedia defines Trademark infringement as “a violation of the exclusive rights attaching to a
trademark without the authorization of the trademark owner or any licensees (provided that such
authorization was within the scope of the license).” The Court has put down eight specific elements
to measure likelihood of confusion and this includes strength of the mark, proximity of the goods,
similarity of the marks, evidence of actual confusion, marketing channels used, type of goods and the
degree of care likely to be exercised by the purchaser, defendant's intent in selecting the mark and
2. likelihood of expansion of the product lines. Trademark is any company’s most precious asset and
any infringement on it can directly affect its reputation, customer trust and revenue.
In such a scenario, there is a need for an effective Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) solution that
can bridge the gap between supply chain planning solutions and product Lifecycle management
software. Such solutions help manufacturers in the high tech, pharmaceutical and retail luxury goods
industries mitigate these risks. It provides 24/7 real-time monitoring of sources that is not possible
when using traditional methods/solutions. Since counterfeit and channel violation listings often go
on and off the Web within 48 hours, only real-time solutions can find all the violators. Thus with a
best of breed ERM solution that comes armed with an advanced web mining and reporting
technology, companies gain visibility beyond their enterprise and beyond their supply chain in the
global, open market.
