USTR Seeking Comments for ‘Notorious Markets’ List

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative is seeking comments by Oct. 6, rebuttals Oct. 20, identifying online and physical markets it should consider including in its 2023 “notorious markets” report, said Thursday’s Federal Register. The annual report lists markets “that reportedly engage in or facilitate substantial copyright piracy or trademark counterfeiting,” said the USTR. Its “issue focus” for 2023 “will examine the potential health and safety risks posed by counterfeit goods,” it said.
