Lets U.S. Customs share more details about goods suspected of violating intellectual property rights.
This bill would make it easier for U.S. Customs and Border Protection to share information about imported goods that might be fake or violate patents. Customs would be able to share more types of details, including information from online stores and shipping companies, and with a wider range of people who have an interest in the goods.
Today, U.S. Customs and Border Protection can share information about imported goods if it 'suspects' an intellectual property violation, covering the merchandise and its packaging. If this bill becomes law, Customs would be able to share information if it 'has a reasonable suspicion,' including details about packing materials and shipping containers. It would also be able to share nonpublic data from online marketplaces and logistics companies, and with a wider range of interested parties.
