IP Partner Jonathan Tropp in the Connecticut Law Tribune on Counterfeit Goods: "Knock It Off"

"Increasingly, the value of U.S. businesses is found in their intellectual property," said Jonathan B. Tropp, a Stamford-based litigator at Day Pitney who focuses on IP cases. "Protecting that value is more important than ever."
