Search Primer

Term list: Separate terms with spaces, not commas or semicolons.

Multi-word term: Place inside quotes to ensure an exact match (e.g. "China import").

Acronyms: Use all capital letters to ensure the search is not looking for that letter sequence instead.

Required term: If a term must be included in any resulting articles, prefix it with a plus sign (e.g., +CBP).

Excluded term: If a term should be excluded from any articles being found, prefix it with a minus sign (e.g., -ruling).

Singular form: Always use the singular form when doing multi-word terms (e.g. "russian export control" instead of "russian export controls").

Shortest word form: When you have different word forms in a quoted (multi-word) term, you want to only include the shortest version if it is the last part of the expression (e.g., "entity list" instead of "entity listing" or "entity listed").

CBP's IPR Blockchain Test Shows 'Great Potential' of the Technology in Trade
February 28, 2020 |Customs

CBP recently completed the blockchain proof of concept involving intellectual property rights, the agency said in a news release. “Supporting American innovation and ingenuity by upholding intellectual property rights has always been a critical part of the CBP mission,” said Brenda Smith, executive assistant commissioner of CBP’s Office of Trade. “This pilot represents great potential for marrying new technology with our traditional trade mission; to protect the US economy.” The test involved connecting the “data correctly to the product and to the license, resulting in fewer physical examinations,” CBP said. “This was accomplished via blockchain interoperability, which means that each organization participating in a transaction can communicate with others using their unique blockchain, regardless of different software used by each party, allowing companies the flexibility to select and customize technology that suits their unique needs.” This was the first test of “standards and specifications to facilitate blockchain interoperability using open, standardized approaches,” which will “help create a framework for rapid adoption and cost reduction,” it said. “These specifications were funded by the DHS Science & Technology Directorate and tested by CBP’s Office of Trade and contributed to the global standardization process at the World Wide Web Consortium.”
