- Description
- A public of draft of an international agreement currently under discussion that will address large-scale infringements of intellectual property rights which have a significant economic impact. It is hoped that a final agreement will be reached by autumn 2010. The Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement will be fully in line with current EU legislation. This means it is limited to the enforcement of intellectual property rights. The agreement will not include provisions which modify substantive intellectual property law, create new rights or change their duration. It will set minimum rules on how innovators and creators can enforce their rights in courts, at borders or over the internet.
