By connecting these aspects through real-world examples and case-based learning, the course helps participants relate legal principles to the procedural requirements and practical considerations involved in addressing counterfeiting, piracy, and online infringement.

Who is this course for?

The course is designed for legal and law enforcement professionals, including IP prosecutors, police, and customs officials.
