The European Commission has recently released a report on Intellectual Property Rights in Third Countries and a fourth edition of the Counterfeit & Piracy Watch List.
The report identifies third countries in which the state of IPR protection and enforcement (both online and offline) gives rise to the greatest level of concern for the EU.
The European Commissions Counterfeit & Piracy Watch List describes the latest trends in counterfeiting and piracy, and lists websites and physical marketplaces outside the EU which reportedly engage in, facilitate or benefit from pirated content and counterfeit goods.
The EUIPO Observatory on Infringements of IP Rights has contributed to the preparation of the Watch List through in-house studies.
