CBP Proposes to Expand Info Sharing on Suspected Trademark Infringement With IPR Holders

CBP is extending the period for comments on its proposal to amend its regulations to allow for the disclosure of information to trademark holders on shipments that have been voluntarily abandoned. The proposed rule would align information sharing procedures for voluntarily abandoned merchandise with procedures for seized merchandise, allowing CBP to better address trademark infringement by way of e-commerce shipments (see 1908260040). Comments are now due Nov. 15.
