Article summary

The Intellectual Property Office (IPO) has published its IP crime and enforcement report 2020–2021, highlighting current and emerging counterfeiting and piracy threats in the UK and abroad. The report notes that the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic strongly affected trading, and therefore, findings such as the dramatic fall in successful prosecutions under the Trade Marks Act 1994, must be considered in context. A report on trading standards successes for 2020–2021 has also been published.
