To expand the sharing of information with respect to suspected violations of intellectual property rights in trade.
What does the HR 4930 do?
HR 4930 is a House bill sponsored by Rep. Blake D. Moore (R-UT). When customs agents suspect imported goods are counterfeit or pirated, they can already ask brand owners to help identify violations — but only certain information can be shared. This bill expands that program to let CBP share nonpublic data generated by online marketplaces, freight forwarders, and shipping operators with brand owners and any other party the Commissioner determines has an interest in the merchandise. It also broadens the physical evidence that can be shared to include packing materials and shipping containers. Expands what counterfeit-goods intelligence CBP can share with brand owners — adding marketplace and freight data, packing materials, and a broader circle of eligible recipients.
