The Center for Data Innovation has submitted comments to United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in response to its request for information on future strategies to combat counterfeiting and piracy.
The Center commends the Patent and Trademark Office for recognizing the need for collaboration across government and with the private sector to address online counterfeiting and piracy. Addressing these problems requires a global, coordinated approach, with engagement from online platforms, rightsholders, law enforcement agencies, and policymakers, with a focus on developing technology and voluntary agreements from stakeholders.
