What is the objective of the proposed ACTA?
The proposed Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) aims to establish new global standards for the enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPR) to more effectively combat the increasingly prolific trade in counterfeit and pirated goods. The ACTA would focus on 3 areas: a) increasing international cooperation, b) establishing best practices for enforcement, and c) providing a more effective legal framework to combat counterfeiting and piracy. The ACTA would build on and complement existing international legal frameworks pertaining to the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights, including the Agreement on Trade-Related Intellectual Property Issues (TRIPs) under the World Trade Organization.
