National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center

The National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center (IPR Coordination Center) is the U.S. government's latest weapon in the fight against violations of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) laws. Located in Washington, DC, the IPR Coordination center is a multi-agency Center responsible for coordinating a unified U.S. government response regarding IPR enforcement issues. Investigative personnel provide core staffing from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Particular emphasis is given to investigating major criminal organizations and those using the Internet to facilitate IPR crime.

The IPR Coordination Center's responsibilities include:

• Coordinating U.S. government domestic and international law enforcement activities involving IPR issues.
• Serving as a collection point for intelligence provided by private industry, as well as a channel for law enforcement to obtain cooperation from private industry (in specific law enforcement situations).
• Integrating domestic and international law enforcement intelligence with private industry information relating to IPR crime.
• Disseminating IPR intelligence for appropriate investigative and tactical use.
• Developing enhanced investigative, intelligence and interdiction capabilities.
• Serving as a point of contact for all U.S. government agencies, the Administration, Congress, and media outlets regarding IPR law enforcement related issues.
