40-second read · 4 questions answered below
What does this do?
This bill expands what information U.S. Customs and Border Protection can share with intellectual property owners when imported goods are suspected of being counterfeit or infringing. CBP could share nonpublic information gathered from online marketplaces, shipping companies, and other parties involved in the shipment. CBP would also be required to tell rights holders exactly what information was shared with them.
Who does it affect?
This affects intellectual property owners such as brands and manufacturers, customs authorities, online marketplaces, freight forwarders, and importers whose shipments may be flagged as potentially counterfeit.
Why does it matter?
Rights holders would receive more detailed information about suspected infringing shipments than they currently do. Importers and shipping parties should be aware that nonpublic information they provide could be shared more broadly under this bill.
