In return, CMO Council will give us an exclusive look at the results of interest to the pharmaceutical industry.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some finding so far:<\/p>\n<p>29.4% of respondents (so far) see cybersquatting, or the illegal use of trademarks or brands in domain names online, as the most prevalent infringement on business and reputation. However, only 18% are plagued by replication of goods, fashion labels, apparel or products.<\/p>\n<p>Where do you fall? Are you among the nearly 40% of marketers who are leaving this brand problem up to legal? Or are you one of the marketers with an eye on those who are looking to profit from your brand\u2019s reputation?<\/p>\n<p>We are nearing the end of our research for a CMO Council initiative, Protection From Brand Infection, and are looking for your insights to round out our peer-led audit. You can access the survey at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brandsecuritycenter.org\/survey\/protection\/\">http:\/\/www.brandsecuritycenter.org\/survey\/protection\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The CMO Council is closing this research within the next week, so time is of the essence.
