The International IP Enforcement Summit 2021, co-organised by the Swedish Intellectual Property Office, PRV, the European Commission and European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), aims to bring strategic and practical guidance and share good practices on how the fight against counterfeit and piracy should contribute to a healthier society, a more sustainable environment and a stronger economy.

The programme (draft):

Panel I. IP infringement online – Collaboration or regulation, what should come first?
A global perspective on how to engage right holders, intermediaries and enforcement authorities to collaborate against illegal activities including, in particular, IP infringement online.

Panel II. IP enforcement as a tool to protect sustainability investments
While businesses invest into environmental friendly processes and products, IPR infringers not only ride on this goodwill but also generate environmental damage due to counterfeit goods.

Panel III. New technology for IP enforcement online
What challenges do digital and technological transformation pose to IP protection and how can this be used to improve IP enforcement?

The draft agenda is available on the EUIPO website.

The online registration form is available on the EUIPO platform.

The event will be held as a virtual meeting via Zoom on 22 and 23 June.
