Office of Intellectual Property Rights (OIPR)
The Office of Intellectual Property Rights (OIPR) in the Department
of Commerces Market Access and Compliance (MAC) division
works with U.S. companies to protect and enforce their intellectual
property rights in foreign markets. OIPR experts can suggest strategies
to evaluate IPR problems encountered abroad and will work with
our embassies around the world to pursue a course of action for
resolution of problems. OIPR works with the Trade Compliance Center
(TCC) to ensure that countries intellectual property-related
trade agreement obligations are monitored and that compliance
problems are addressed. Commerce has established a special telephone

international intellectual property concerns. Companies can contact
