Membership

AGMA Global is a strategic initiative composed of leading high technology companies committed to addressing the global impact of intellectual property rights issues such as gray market fraud, parallel imports, counterfeiting, software piracy, and service abuse on the technology industry.  

AGMA membership provides an avenue for fostering and encouraging collaboration amongst brand owners looking to protect their assets and avoid damage to their reputations.  AGMA provides an open forum where the members can discuss trends, challenges, and solutions among themselves and directly interact with various government agencies and other organizations concentrated on intellectual property rights matters.

The benefits of becoming an AGMA member are many and varied, and include: stopping the erosion of brand quality; stopping the loss of profit margins to brokers; educating customers and maintaining customer satisfaction; gaining access to important benchmarking tools; and gaining access to best processes, knowledge exchange and proprietary research.

Our Mission

AGMA’s primary focus is on industry and public education, sharing and developing best practices to effectively hinder threats to intellectual property and render these activities more difficult, undesirable and unprofitable. AGMA’s role is to present members and the industry with strategic ideas for addressing key IP protection issues, and to introduce better controls or processes in mitigating threats to IP.

Membership in AGMA provides access to important programs, strategies and tools for combating gray marketing and counterfeiting of branded products, service and warranty fraud and protection of IP in a digital format.
