STOP! is an effort involving the combined resources of the Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, U.S. Copyright Office, Department of Justice, U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and the National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center. The STOP! goals are to crack down on the networks that traffic in counterfeit and pirated products, stop trade in these goods around the globe and at America’s borders, and help American businesses – especially small and medium-sized enterprises – and their employees secure and enforce their rights here at home and in overseas markets.
