"The threat from IP crime continues to increase both in terms of volume and complexity, and continues to have a significant impact on local communities and businesses worldwide. Those who commit IP crime often use the proceeds to fund lavish lifestyles and are sometimes involved in other forms of serious and organised crime."
"It is essential that law enforcement globally works closely with brands in being able to proactively and dynamically respond in preventing, disrupting and investing all forms of IP crime."
Pete O'Doherty
Assistant Commissioner
National Policing Lead for IP Crime
Ian Dyson QPM
Commissioner of the City of London Police"By engaging with the wider law enforcement community through our IP Crime Directory, IP owners will be able to protect their intellectual property rights much more effectively.”
The IP Crime Directory is an online portal that connects IP owners and law enforcement to promote close cooperation in the global fight against IP crime. It has been designed to allow law enforcement to connect in ‘real time’ with product experts' therefore empowering officials to make quick assessments of suspect counterfeit goods whilst engaged on operations.
This is a secure resource that is provided free of charge to law enforcement and is not accessible to the general public.
