CBP Seeks Comment by Dec. 16 on Updating Border DMCA Copyright Enforcement

Customs and Border Protection wants comment by Dec. 16 on CBP plans to update U.S. border handling of imports with suspected copyright violations, said Wednesday's Federal Register. The proposal is a result of the Trade Facilitation and Trade Enforcement Act, which added pre-seizure disclosure requirements for possible Digital Millennium Copyright Act violations. TFTEA lets CBP make new disclosures to intellectual property rights holders.
