To expand the sharing of information with respect to suspected violations of intellectual property rights in trade.

What this bill does

  • The bill expands U.S. Customs and Border Protection's authority to share information about suspected counterfeit or infringing goods with intellectual property owners and other interested parties.
  • Trademark and copyright owners, online marketplaces, freight forwarders, and other entities involved in importing goods are affected.
  • The change takes effect upon enactment and lowers the standard from 'suspects' to 'reasonable suspicion' for sharing information.

    How might lowering the information-sharing standard from 'suspects' to 'reasonable suspicion' affect the accuracy of reports received by trademark and copyright owners?

  2. 02

    What safeguards should exist to prevent Customs from sharing information about suspected infringements that turn out to be legal goods or mistaken identifications?

  3. 03

    How could expanded information sharing between Customs and private companies change enforcement priorities or create competitive advantages for intellectual property owners with better government access?
