HomeLegislative measures related to intellectual property infringements . Phase 3, Criminal legislative measures in serious and organised intellectual property crime cases
Publication metadata
Despite the existence of several international minimum standards, national legislations governing criminal IP infringements vary considerably, not just internationally but also across the EU. These differences in national legislative frameworks can sometimes be exploited by IP criminals, and in the worst case they can be an obstacle to effective investigations, prosecutions, and the rendering of proportionate and deterrent sanctions. The study focuses on serious and organised infringements related to trade mark counterfeiting, copyright piracy, and trade secret theft (whether committed by an insider or via computer hacking) across the countries considered, as these constitute the main IP infringements covered in their legislative frameworks. Additionally, the study focuses on related crimes like fraud, unauthorised access to computer systems (hacking), and money laundering. Observations are also made regarding health and safety violations, aiding and abetting, and liability of legal entities.
