Synthesis report published for World AntiCounterfeiting Day
|
|
The European Observatory on Infringements of Intellectual Property Rights has published a Synthesis Report on IP Infringement to mark World AntiCounterfeiting Day 2018
|
|
The Report draws together research from the past five years on the importance of intellectual property, its use by European companies, the economic costs of IP infringement, methods and channels by which rights are infringed and actions being taken in response to infringements. 
The publication of the Report is accompanied by a pan-European media campaign. The Report indicates that €60 billion is lost each year due to counterfeiting in 13 economic sectors. This amounts to a loss of €116 for each EU citizen each year, and the loss of 434,000 jobs. EUIPO Executive Director António Campinos said in a statement: “Over the past 5 years, our reporting and research has given, for the first time, a comprehensive picture of the economic impact of counterfeiting and piracy on the EU economy and job creation, as well as intelligence on how intellectual property rights are infringed. Through our research, we have also shown the positive contribution that intellectual property has on employment and growth. Our work has been carried out so that policymakers and citizens can be in no doubt of the value of intellectual property and the damage that arises from its infringement.” Find out more on the page dedicated to the Synthesis Report on the Observatory website. This includes links to the full report (in English), executive summary (all EU languages), infographics (for each EU country) and press releases (all EU languages). EUIPO also hosted the Enforcement Database Forum in Alicante on 13 and 14 June.
