European Intellectual Property Prosecutors Network (EIPPN) workshop on enhancing investigation and prosecution of IP-related offences through practitioners' Exchange

Strengthening the investigation and prosecution of IP crimes requires close cooperation between judicial authorities and specialised enforcement authorities. In the Western Balkans, improving coordination and practical knowledge-sharing is essential to combat counterfeiting and piracy, particularly in cross-border and digital environments.

To support this objective, the project facilitated the participation of prosecutors from the region in the 13th annual EIPPN workshop. The event was held from 10-11 September in Alicante and was jointly organised by the EUIPO and the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation (Eurojust). Ahead of the annual EIPPN event, the EUIPO and Eurojust organised a dedicated workshop on 9 September, ‘Investigating and Prosecuting Intellectual Property Crime’, for prosecutors and investigators from the Western Balkans and the Republic of Moldova.
