The European Commission Trade Directorate today adopted a “communication on enhancing the enforcement of intellectual property rights” within the European Union internal market that aims at greater coordination but stops short of new legislative measures.
The Commission laid out “practical initiatives to respond to the dramatic and damaging effect that counterfeiting and piracy is having on EU economies and on society in general,” it said in a release. The Commission plans to increase collaboration between the private sector, national authorities and consumers.
