Comments to CBP Regarding Its Proposal to Amend 19 CFR Parts 133 and 151

The American Intellectual Property Law Association submitted a letter to US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to aid the Agency with its proposal to amend 19 CFR Parts 133 and 151 to clarify and expand the information disclosed to intellectual property rights holders in an effort to combat counterfeiting. While AIPLA appreciates the CBP’s efforts toward greater information disclosure, the proposed Interim Rule falls short of what is needed to fully protect intellectual property rights holders.
