JPO Conducted JPO/IPR Training Course on Anti-Counterfeiting Measures for Practitioners

The JPO conducted the “JPO/IPR Training Course on Anti-Counterfeiting Measures for Practitioners” in person from October 18 to 25, 2022. A total of 19 trainees from 12 countries completed the course, targeting the officials of IP offices, the Customs, and other organizations who are mainly in charge of conducting operations in anti-counterfeiting measures and cracking down on counterfeit goods.

In this course, trainees learned about practices of anti-counterfeiting measures and cooperation with related organizations in IP enforcement, as well as deepened their understanding of the initiatives and current status of IP enforcement in Japan through lectures by the Tokyo Customs and discussions with companies.

For the course, the trainees commented: “The training was informative on the initiatives and the current status of IP enforcement by the Japanese government, and understanding the importance of cooperating with the rights holders.” “The sessions covered the Japanese government’s measures and rules to eliminate counterfeit products in e-commerce, which was beneficial.” “Gained good understanding on the clauses governing trademarks and IP law enforcement, and the current initiatives of various countries, through Country Report presentations and discussions. I would like to leverage this valuable experience to deliver results in order to eliminate counterfeit products, such as creating and proposing effective awareness-raising campaigns in my country.”
