TIACA has condemned the growing problem of goods that infringe intellectual property rights (IPR), and calls for Customs authorities to bring together rights holders, service providers and regulators for a working dialogue in a new Position Paper published today. Goods that infringe IPR account for a growing proportion of international trade, estimated at over $250bn by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
