Taking Action at the Border

at Al Nawras Intellectual Property

Customs authorities play an important role in enforcing intellectual property rights at the border. Available measures may include suspending the release of goods suspected of infringement, subject to the applicable law. We help rights holders prepare the documents and information needed for customs recordals and complaints, and follow up on matters requiring customs action. Our support takes account of the rights covered by local customs procedures and the requirements for seeking protection. We integrate customs enforcement into a wider protection strategy, extending action against infringing goods beyond the marketplace to the points where they enter it.
