Customs control is a critical aspect of protecting intellectual property rights, especially when it comes to preventing the traffic of counterfeit goods.
Recordal of the IP object with the Customs Register serves as an efficient tool for combating of the traffic of the counterfeit products or movement of the goods unauthorized by the right holder.
Customs control, as a rule, extends to import and export movement of goods, except goods in transit and goods purchased by individuals for personal use.
Such objects of intellectual property as trademarks, industrial designs and copyrights registered in the territory in question or valid on the basis of the international registration may be recorded with the Customs Register.
Once the procedure is completed the customs authorities will inform the owner of a registered intellectual property object on the suspension of any goods suspected of infringement of intellectual property rights which allow to protect valuable IP assets by addressing importation of infringing products into the particular jurisdiction.
Customs control plays a crucial role in safeguarding intellectual property rights and preventing the traffic of counterfeit goods. It also ensures that you can take legal action against infringers effectively.
