Mobile Enforcement
The United Arab Emirates is the first country to launch the new IPM mobile application. Launched in coordination with the World Customs Organization, the IPM Mobile application is an application that will allow customs enforcement to fight counterfeits and keep track of intellectual property rights through a centralized database. The application permits rights holders to provide information to customs officers about their IP. The World Customs Organization is set to distribute the application in other member states next June. For more information about the initiative, see http://ipmpromo. wcoomdpublications.org/.
