Battle against counterfeiting - how countries across globe tackle it?


performance needs to be notified

It is improper to conclude that indian customs are protecting IPR after TRIPS. Customs act had provisions to protect trademark and copy rights in the 1962 act itself under section 11. Also copy right act had empowered customs to act in cases of border infringements. The section 11 provisions are applicable to IPR export infringements also. The introduction of 2007 rules has brought in a systematic and specific procedure. TRIPS cover only copyright, trademark and design whereas indian enforcement rules 2007 cover patents and geographical indications also. But no where the details of number of persons using the ARTS facility is published. Customs of all countries provide details of registration and cases of ipr infringements noticed and further action taken etc., whereas we are not active on this front which needs to be setright for the knowledge of rightholders to encourage to use the facility put in place. Hope the concerned authorities publish the performance dataso that performance and success could be judged.
