The European Commission recently adopted a Communication outlining practical initiatives in enhancing intellectual property rights (IPR) enforcement. The initiatives are meant to complement the existing legislation in IPR and to contribute towards the Commission's aim of ensuring an efficient, proportionate and predictable system of enforcement.
Actions outlined in the Communication include cooperation through a new EU Observatory on counterfeiting and piracy, administrative coordination amongst EU member states through national coordinators and building collaborative voluntary arrangements between stakeholders.
