DG TAXUD and the EUIPO have just published a joint factual document, which presents the results at the EU border and internal market regarding the enforcement of IPRs in 2020.

The document is based on data on the detentions at the EU border reported by the customs authorities of all the Member States, through the EU-wide anti-counterfeit and anti-piracy information system (COPIS), as well as the data on detentions within the internal market reported by the enforcement authorities of 23 out of 27 EU Members States, through the IP Enforcement Portal (IPEP).

The document aims to support the analysis of IPR infringements in the EU and the development of countermeasures, as well as provides an evidence base for EU policymakers.
