AG Eric Holder pledges sustained pursuit, prosecution of IP crimes
WASHINGTON, June 21 () -- U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. pledged his department will pursue intellectual property crimes and counter emerging threats."We will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our allies across the globe and throughout the private sector -- as part of a strong and coordinated administration-wide response -- to ensure that America's scientists, artists, and inventors are able to develop, innovate, create and grow our economy," Holder wrote Friday in a blog posted on the Justice Department website.He said the Joint Strategic Plan announced Friday will help the department "continue this important work and to ensure that our nation can remain at the forefront of technology, innovation, and job creation."The document identifies 26 specific actions to protect intellectual property, increase enforcement against counterfeiting networks, and encourage multinational cooperation to protect rights holders, Holder said.It provides guidance to U.S. agencies and private sector leaders working to protect intellectual property rights, he said."And it will enable us to capitalize on the momentum that's been established over the last three years," Holder said, "including our efforts to improve efficiency and coordination between federal, state,[url=http://www.panyam.com/]cheap gucci shoes[/url], and local partners; to bolster the international enforcement of rights; to secure our supply chain and prevent illegal products from entering the country; and to step up our domestic enforcement activities so we can focus on investigations and prosecutions that protect America's businesses, disrupt piracy and counterfeiting operations, and safeguard the health and safety of our citizens."Holder cited successes in thwarting IP criminal activities, including a 2012 multiagency initiative, Operation Pangea V, that netted 79 arrests and the seizure of 3.7 million doses of "potentially life-threatening substandard, spurious, falsely-labeled, falsified, or counterfeit medicines."In a collaborative effort among several countries in January 2012, Holder said,[url=http://www.tymarc.com/]christian louboutin discount[/url], five people were arrested for allegedly engaging in massive worldwide online piracy, and about $50 million in assets were seized in the United States and abroad.
