IP Enforcement Directive

The IP Enforcement Directive is a European Union rule that helps protect intellectual property rights, like trademarks, copyrights, and patents. It sets common standards across countries to prevent and address illegal activities such as counterfeiting and piracy. The directive aims to make it easier for rights holders to take legal action against violations, including quicker court procedures and measures like seizing counterfeit goods. Overall, it encourages a consistent approach across EU member states to safeguard innovation, creativity, and economic growth associated with protected intellectual property.
