Protection of intellectual property at customs point

Protection of intellectual property at customs point

Surely all of you have been confronted with a situation whereby you have been offered a fake product, which is obviously counterfeit, rather than original goods. Indeed, such cases are not unusual, not only in our country but also worldwide. Forgery (counterfeit and piracy) is a serious problem. In this situation,  not only consumers suffer but also the original producer of the goods (the owner of intellectual property), which suffers huge losses in connection with the "enterprising" individual "entrepreneurs". In some cases, counterfeiting also causes serious damage to health and safety.

In case of the importation of counterfeit or pirated goods in the country, it is not always possible to prevent its spread. Therefore there is a need to detain counterfeit and pirated goods at the border. The solution to this problem may be more successful if the right holder applies the customs protection measures.

Therefore, we believe that this proposal will be especially interesting to all holders of intellectual property, regardless of the type of activity, be it services or manufacturing businesses.
