EU enforcement of intellectual property rights : results at the EU border and in the EU internal market 2023

The Directorate-General for Taxation and Customs Union (DG TAXUD) and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) have partnered to release annual reports detailing the efforts made by customs, police, and market surveillance authorities to enforce IP rights in the European Union (EU). This report presents the outcomes of the EU's IP enforcement activities for the year 2023, drawing on data from 26 EU Member States (noting that the Greek dataset is missing) at the border and 24 countries within the internal market. This document aims to provide valuable insights on IP infringements across the EU both at the EU borders and in the EU internal market. Furthermore, it offers policymakers reliable data to support their decision-making process and prioritization of policies.
