Tagged with: Annual Custom’s surveillance petition

In our quick guide series we share short rules on a given topic for an easy reference and understanding.

We take this opportunity to inform you about upcoming forum held by our Customs IP department which will enable the brand owners to hold presentations directly before enforcement agents on our borders.

This event is immensely valuable as it will provide an opportunity to inform the people directly tasked with deciding if the goods before them should or should not be seized based on possible IP infringement – how to spot original or fake goods.

We have previously written about the importance of the annual Custom’s  petition and, for the new readers, wanted to shortly again sum up the important points:

Enforcement and IP protection go hand in hand.

Important part of the enforcement strategy is a solid plan for seizure matters, especially in the Balkans region, where many trade routes intersect.

Our answer is the MIHAILOVIC 360° enforcement program eligible for the Republic of Serbia, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, FYRO Macedonia and Montenegro.

After a very succesful and fruitful first forum organized by the Customs Department of Serbia, we invite all brand owners to another forum concerning anti-counterfeited goods and IP infringement. Here, brand owners and their representatives will have the opportunity to directly speak to enforcement agents – both on the borders and in the market.

We are glad to have the opportunity to inform you about a forum to be held by our Customs IP department where brand owners and their representatives will have the opportunity to directly speak to enforcement agents – both on the borders and in the market.
