The European Commission has published a report on the protection and enforcement of intellectual property (IP) rights in third countries.
The report identifies countries outside the EU in which the state of IP protection and enforcement gives rise to concern. It provides an update on the Commission’s existing list of priority countries.
China remains the top priority country, as was the case in previous editions of the report. Other priority countries include Argentina, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and Türkiye.
The report aims to improve IP rights protection and enforcement worldwide. Its goal is to inform rights holders, including small and medium-sized enterprises, of the potential risks when conducting business in certain countries.
Furthermore, the report includes details on the EU’s various IP activities – including EU-funded programmes – providing visibility to EUIPO work under the IP Keys projects.
Through the Observatory, the EUIPO has supported the creation of the third country report with several studies.
