The “France anti-counterfeiting” initiative has been set up and is coordinated by the INPI as part of the reinforcement of its anti-counterfeiting missions, in order to consolidate the analytical role of the fight against counterfeiting. The data collected within this framework and the analysis of the economic consequences of counterfeiting practices will help public authorities in the development of effective policies for the enforcement of intellectual property rights.
