Enforcement Database

The Enforcement Database is a system based on cooperation between the holders of IP rights, customs officials and the police. This tool was set up by EUIPO and creates a direct line of communication to protect products against counterfeiting.

Holders of IP rights can upload information about their IP rights together with contact and product details. That makes it easier for authorities to identify counterfeits and take action.

You will need a valid trademark or design registration in the European Union (EU) to apply for an EDB account.
