DoJ Launches IP Enforcement Network

2017/12/22

The US Department of Justice (DoJ) has launched a network of IP enforcement co-ordinators and deployed specialist prosecutors to address the growing problem of transnational IP crime. In partnership with the State Department’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs, the DoJ announced the network on December 15. The Intellectual Property Law Enforcement Coordinator (IPLEC) programme was created in 2006, with the first IPLEC stationed in Bangkok, Thailand. Now, a network of five prosecutors—posted in Abuja, Nigeria; Bucharest, Romania; Sao Paulo, Brazil; Bangkok, Thailand; and Hong Kong—has been launched. The network assesses the capacity of law enforcement authorities to enforce IP rights, delivers training to investigators and prosecutors, and assists in developing/strengthening institutions dedicated to enforcing IP rights.
