Description:
The purpose of this program is to improve the capacity of state, local, tribal, and territorial criminal justice systems to address intellectual property (IP) enforcement, including prosecution, prevention, training, and technical assistance. Awards will assist law enforcement agencies in planning or creating IP enforcement task forces that will collaborate with the relevant state, local, territorial, tribal, campus, and federal agencies, including the local U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO). The program includes an educational component to assist uninformed buyers in determining the authenticity of seemingly legitimate websites that actually deceive consumers into purchasing counterfeit goods.
