For more than two decades, the IPR Center has led the effort in the government's response to combat global intellectual property theft and enforce trade laws. Comprised of federal agencies, international law enforcement, academia, private sector partners, and industry experts, the IPR Center develops initiatives, coordinates enforcement actions, shares information related to intellectual property theft and trade fraud and plays a significant role in policing the sale and distribution of counterfeit goods. The center was established to stop predatory, illegal trade practices that threaten the public's health and safety, the U.S. economy and national security. The IPR Center is led by Homeland Security Investigations, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Customs and Border Protection. **The appearance of any non-federal entities and/or reference to vendors does not constitute, imply, or infer endorsement or sanction of their products or services by the IPR Center, DHS, or the federal government.**
