Bill overview
This bill updates the Tariff Act of 1930 to give U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) more power to protect intellectual property rights. It allows CBP to share information about imported goods suspected of copyright or trademark violations with rights holders and other interested parties. Specifically, CBP can now request and provide details about a product’s packaging, labels, and materials to help determine if it infringes on intellectual property. The bill also expands who CBP can share information with, allowing for broader collaboration in combating counterfeiting and piracy.
