Enforcement week -Forum on Enforcement in the digital world

At the forum on enforcement in the digital world, IP Key Latin America’s objective is to address online piracy and other infringements of intellectual property rights. The activity aims to increase the awareness and capacity of Latin American authorities to protect and enforce IP rights. In addition, it seeks to exchange best practices to address counterfeiting and piracy in online markets between EU and international experts and Latin American authorities. Discussion on application problems in the digital world reported by EU stakeholders in Latin American countries is also planned.

In July 2023, a one-day online event will be held to mark enforcement week with coverage in 16 Latin American countries. The event is divided into three parts and will focus on the fight against online piracy and counterfeiting. More than 200 IP rights enforcement authorities are expected to participate, including representatives from customs, police, the judiciary and policy makers. The event will be organised in conjunction with two other IP Key activities; including border enforcement and the seminar for judges.
