What Intellectual Property Misappropriation Constitutes a Crime?
According to the US Department of Justice, although civil remedies that may provide compensation to wronged intellectual property rights holders are available, “… criminal sanctions are often warranted to ensure sufficient punishment and deterrence of wrongful activity. Indeed, because violations of intellectual property rights often involve no loss of tangible assets and, for infringement crimes, do not even require any direct contact with the rights holder, the rights holder often does not know it is a victim until a defendant's activities are specifically identified and investigated. Congress has continually expanded and strengthened criminal laws for violations of intellectual property rights specifically to ensure that those violations are not merely a cost of doing business for defendants…”.
In addition to state laws, the most significant provisions are the following:
- Counterfeit trademark crime is set out at 18 U.S.C. § 2320
- Criminal infringement of copyrighted works is set out at 18 U.S.C. § 2319
- IP infringement that rises to the level of criminal activity. Fortress Global Investigations often has the experience and access to help the company lawyers present the case to the appropriate authorities for investigation and possible criminal prosecution.
