In the words of the jury, “[t]he IPR Committee of the European Chamber of Commerce in Korea received an almost unprecedented 5 nominations. Throughout 2018, the [IPR Committee] has organised or been involved with a range of activities to help its members with IPR issues and others to co-operate with the authorities in response to the challenges of those issues: raids on street markets; capacity building programmes with [law enforcement agencies]; statistical research on the value of IP; and contributions to the ECCK’s Annual White paper with regards to Korea’s IP Environment. [The IPR Committee] has also worked with Customs to facilitate recordation requirements for designs and patents and made a submission to the European Commission on notorious markets.
