Rosenstein Says DOJ Adding Regional Experts in Other Countries to Fight IP Crime

The U.S. will post intellectual property experts in the coming weeks to provide regional cooperation in Abuja, Nigeria; Bangkok; Bucharest; Hong Kong; and Sao Paulo, said Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein at an Interpol's international IP crime conference in New York Tuesday. He said Justice will respond more quickly to mutual legal assistance requests from other countries. The department is strengthening its ability to pursue charges through its U.S. attorney's offices and roughly 260 computer hacking and IP coordinators across the country and has developed a Cybercrime Lab, he said.
