Its objective is to provide useful information to support the analysis of IPR infringements in the EU and the development of appropriate countermeasures.

The ‘EU enforcement of intellectual property rights: results at the EU border and in the EU internal market, 2021’ shows the figures resulted from the detentions carried out in that year and their comparison with the previous ones. This edition includes a comparison between the estimates of fakes and detentions of this type of goods in the EU border. Although they existed already in separate reports, the figures have been put together in this document for the very first time....Less |
