STRENGTHENING ENFORCEMENT Sample Clauses

STRENGTHENING ENFORCEMENT. Although the TRIPS Agreement provides for border measures in Article 51 and criminal penalties in Article 61, these provisions are mandatory only with respect to counterfeit trademark goods and pirated copyright goods; with respect to all other intellectual property goods infringement, border measures are left to the discretion of the Members. A strengthening of enforcement through the expansion and clarification of the subject rights has been achieved in the EPAs entered into by Japan, for example, by expanding the subject of protection to border measures and criminal penalties and by explicitly providing for the prohibition of configuration imitation (which is not specifically set forth in the TRIPS Agreement). Also, in implementing certain 768 762 measures (such as creating an obligation to furnish the information provided in Article 57 of the TRIPS Agreement), EPAs intend to strengthen the enforcement of intellectual property rights through procedural improvements. Following are some of the details of EPAs/FTAs that Japan had concluded.
