IP Enforcement FAQs

Can Indian Customs stop counterfeit imports?

Yes. Owners of trade marks, copyright, designs and geographical indications can record their rights with Customs under the Intellectual Property Rights (Imported Goods) Enforcement Rules, 2007. Customs can then suspend the clearance of suspected infringing goods and notify the owner. Patents are no longer covered by these Rules.
