CBP Finalizes Rule for IPR Enforcement Donation Acceptance

CBP issued a final rule on how it will accept donations meant to help the agency with intellectual property rights enforcement. The rule is a result of the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act, which said it must issue regulations allowing the agency to accept industry donations for IPR enforcement (see 1602230080). Donations of technologies, training or other support services for the purpose of assisting CBP in IPR enforcement are allowed. The final rule includes some minor changes from the proposal, which was published earlier this year (see 1701130021)
