This catalogue provides practitioners and legal experts with an overview of national institutions responsible for the investigation and prosecution of intellectual property (IP) crimes. While some EU Member States and third countries have specialised units responsible for the investigation and prosecution of IP crimes, this crime area generally falls under general jurisdiction rules and are investigated by the units responsible for the economic or cybercrime investigations.
The catalogue lists the institutions in each EU Member State and third country, briefly describes their mandate and provides general contacts details along with the respective website.
This catalogue has been produced within the framework of Eurojust’s Intellectual Property Crime Project.
