Pr {\" a} ventiver product protection - guidelines and application examples

Product piracy destroys jobs, deprives industry of the returns on its research and development investments and threatens the competitiveness of many companies. To protect against product imitations, innovative, technical protective measures and holistic protection concepts must be developed. This work shows how such protection concepts are developed and implemented. Central to this are the identification of the individual threat potential and the implementation of comprehensive product protection based on protective measures. Practical examples illustrate the application of the methods and tools and facilitate the transfer into practice. A uniform presentation of over 90 protective measures rounds off the book.
