This Checklist covers the key considerations when formulating a strategy to combat counterfeiting and piracy. This Checklist should be used alongside Practice Note: Anti-counterfeiting and anti-piracy—strategy. Has the extent of the problem been assessed? Have the following people been consulted? • in-house personnel who have close involvement with the marketplace, including customer services staff who handle consumer complaints • external investigators tasked with assessing the level of counterfeit products in particular marketplaces (both online and in-stores) and making test purchases • agencies such as Trading Standards and HMRC/Border Force • internet service providers and website operators in respect of targets who appear to be predominantly operating online In some cases, employees or members of the public will notice counterfeit goods in shops, market stalls, at events or on holiday and will voluntarily notify the rights holder of such sightings. Has the following key information been identified? • territories most affected • products most affected • health and safety issues • level of risk to consumers and brand value • key perpetrators • any other trends Has

The purpose of an anti-counterfeiting and anti-piracy strategy Many brand owners and other IP right holders face an uphill struggle when it comes to preventing counterfeiting and piracy activities in the UK and abroad. In order to avoid wasting time and costs, it is important to devise a clear anti-counterfeiting and anti-piracy strategy which sets out priorities in the context of a defined budget. However, flexibility is also key as right holders may face an unexpected counterfeiting or piracy crisis and should have reserve capacity to deal with such instances. This Practice Note provides guidance on the issues to consider and steps to take when tasked with tackling identified instances of counterfeiting and piracy. Since these terms do not have universally accepted definitions, they are used in this Practice Note to denote acts of trade mark infringement (counterfeiting), copyright infringement (piracy) and, in certain scenarios, design infringement, which constitute criminal offences as well as attracting civil liability. In this Practice Note, the word ‘target’ is used to refer to counterfeiters and pirates alike. This Practice Note does not detail

This Practice Note summarises the main types of legal action that can be taken against the UK trade in counterfeit goods, the pros and cons of each, and includes some practical tips for brand owners. It covers actions by the authorities, including customs, Trading Standards (TS) and the police, as well as civil actions and private criminal prosecutions by right holders. In some countries, it is also possible to bring administrative actions against infringers, but these are not dealt with here. This Practice Note focuses on counterfeiting (meaning trade mark-related offences), but also touches on piracy (copyright-related offences) and offences relating to registered designs. This Practice Note deals with anti-counterfeiting activity both online and offline.

This Practice Note provides practical guidance on the types of reviews that may occur in the duration of anti-dumping duties. It includes guidance on new shipper, interim, expiry and judicial reviews. Introduction The Agreement on the Implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 (the ‘Anti-dumping Agreement’) makes provision for numerous reviews that may occur in the duration of anti-dumping duties. One review caters for exporters who did not export during the period of investigation of the original anti-dumping investigation. This allows them to receive their own specific anti-dumping duty (or no duty if that is the case) as opposed to the residual anti-dumping duty applied to the Member State from which they import. Another review that occurs prior to the expiry of five-year period for which anti-dumping duties are imposed is the interim review. Interim reviews cater for cases where there is no longer a need to have the anti-dumping duties imposed or where the anti-dumping duty must be increased. This caters for situations where there either is no dumping or there is

This Practice Note provides a comparison of the main differences between the EU, UK and the US in conducting anti-dumping investigations. EU UK US Has the Anti-dumping Agreement been incorporated in national law? The EU has implemented EU legislation, Council Regulation EU No. 2016/1036, (to incorporate the Anti-dumping Agreement’s provisions into EU law. The UK has implemented legislation to incorporate the Anti-dumping Agreement provisions into UK law. The Trade Remedies (Dumping and Subsidisation) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019 sets out the rules and procedures for anti-dumping investigations (as well as countervailing investigations).The UK also promulgated the Trade Remedies (Reconsideration and Appeals) (EU Exit) Regulations 2019, SI 2019/910 which deals with appeals and reconsiderations of anti-dumping determinations. These regulations must however be read with the Taxation (Cross-border Trade) Act 2018. The US has implemented the Tariff Act of 1930 to incorporate the Anti-dumping Agreement’s provisions into US law. The provisions dealing with anti-dumping investigations are located in Subtitle B of Title VII of the Tariff Act of 1930 see 19 USC. Which authority conducts the investigation? The European
