In this video, we explore the crucial role of US customs in resolving intellectual property rights disputes. Businesses face challenges in protecting their trademarks, copyrights, and patents from infringement in the global marketplace. To address these concerns, the United States Customs and Border Protection (CBP) has implemented various measures. The Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) e-Recordation system allows rights holders to record their intellectual property with customs, enabling officials to identify and prevent the entry of infringing goods. In the event of infringement, rights holders can file a complaint, triggering an IPR enforcement action by CBP. The resolution process may involve civil litigation, administrative actions, and cooperation between customs and rights holders. CBP also offers training and outreach programs to raise awareness and equip businesses with the knowledge to detect and report potential violations. While customs cannot resolve intellectual property disputes or determine rights validity, their involvement is crucial in preventing the entry of infringing goods and supporting rights holders. Partnership between customs and businesses enhances efforts to protect intellectual property rights in the global marketplace.
