Reporting of follow-up actions to the EU Commission Counterfeit and Piracy List

The activity pursues raising awareness of IP protection and enforcement by supporting the monitoring of developments in the LA countries in relation to the online and physical marketplaces that are identified in the EC Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List.

The European Commission publishes a Counterfeit and Piracy Watch List biannually that identifies and describes the most problematic marketplaces around the world, whose operators or owners reportedly engage in, facilitate, or benefit from counterfeiting and piracy.

This activity will support the identification of the measures and actions taken by authorities and operators in relation to marketplaces in LA included in the Watch List, by monitoring and reporting on any follow-up operations and developments on the issues described in the Watch List.
