| Description: |
The EIPPN is a well-established and highly effective forum to discuss matters related
to the criminal enforcement of intellectual property rights. Organized by the EUIPO and the
European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust), the EIPPN holds yearly
meetings, which the Building Respect for IP (BRIP) Division regularly attends. Already for
2023, WIPO and the EUIPO had agreed that WIPO would host the yearly EIPPN workshop
in the form of an international workshop on IP crime prosecution, which would bring together
IP crime prosecutors from Europe and other parts of the world. Due to financial constraints
on the side of the EUIPO, however, the organization of a joint workshop had to be postponed
to 2024. |
