- TIPA, a private organization dedicated to the protection of intellectual property rights for the enforcement of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs) and the protection of intellectual property rights, announced on the 8th that it has been selected as a private expert to assist in customs inspections of goods suspected of infringement. TIPA stated that it will collaborate with customs to prevent international trade of goods infringing intellectual property rights.

- As a private organization dedicated to the protection of intellectual property rights, TIPA will collaborate with the KCS, Incheon Airport Regional Customs, Incheon Regional Customs and Pyeongtaek Customs to assist in the inspection of intellectual property rights-infringing goods during the customs clearance process. TIPA aims to work together with customs to prevent the international trade of goods infringing intellectual property rights.

- Furthermore, TIPA is taking a leading role in preventing the mportation of counterfeit goods into the country by utilizing the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) protection system called TIMS (TIPA IPR Management System), jointly developed with PinokioLab Inc. last year. This system facilitates a rapid appraisal process for goods suspected of infringing intellectual property rights, contributing to the overall effort to curb the influx of counterfeit products.
