In keeping with tradition at both the Labour and Conservative party conferences, we will again be hosting two fringe events, both on scams in an ageing population. With guest speakers including JulianKnight MP, Lord Toby Harris, Jane Vass and Mike Smith, fromAge UK, the debates should be compelling and definitely not to be missed. If you arent able to make it to the political party conferences this year, dont worry; TS Today will be publishing the highlights from all the debates in the next issue. This month, the spotlight is firmly on surveillance, intellectual property and legal matters, and features successful trading standards operations that we hope you will find useful. Our lead officer for e-crime, Paul Thompson, shares his thoughts about the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act and the effect it has on local authorities as the law catches up with online criminality. After the Tokyo 2020 Organising Committees decision to withdraw its Olympic logo, TS Today delves into copyright rules in the UK and what precautions need to be taken when launching new branding. Meanwhile, with bonfire night and Christmas fast approaching, Robert Chantry-Price takes a look at the latest surveillance project by the Product Safety Forum of Europe (PROSAFE), which targets dangerous and non-compliant goods across the EU. We hope you enjoy the issue!
