National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center (IPR Center)
IP theft is not a victimless crime. Victims are American consumers, businesses, trademark holders and people who manufacture and sell legitimate products.
HSI leads the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center (IPR Center) which is the U.S. government's response to stop global intellectual property theft and enforce trade laws.
Comprised of federal agencies and industry experts, the IPR Center polices the sale and distribution of counterfeit goods on websites, social media, and the dark web. Every day, the IPR Center works with industries and agencies to stop IP theft that threatens U.S. businesses, robs hardworking Americans of their jobs, and negatively impacts the economy.
Execution of the HSI and IPR Center missions relies on partnerships with the private sector, academic community, and across all levels of government.
