Capacity building of a national coordination structure for IP enforcement

Effective enforcement of IP rights requires strong and well-coordinated cooperation among authorities. A structured coordination mechanism can support timely information exchange, operational efficiency and a more coherent response to the trade in counterfeit and pirated goods.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, several authorities are involved in IP enforcement, including the IP office, customs, police, inspectorates, prosecution services and judiciary. The activity will support the development and operationalisation of a structured coordination mechanism for IP enforcement. It will aim to strengthen cooperation among the relevant authorities and provide a framework for more effective information exchange, coordination and joint responses to IP infringements.
