Top Trading Partners
During the first half of FY 2006
seizures of IPR infringing
products from China totaled
$34.3 million and accounted
for 76% of the total domestic
value for all IPR seizures.
This is a 12% increase from
FY 2005’s 64% mid-year share
of IPR seizures.
Hong Kong’s $2.5M in seized value makes it the second most significant trading partner for IPR infringing seizures.
IPR seizures from Korea and Singapore have more than doubled in value at the mid-year mark, compared to mid-year FY 2005.
Korea has re-emerged on the Top 10 after a brief absence. Almost all of their value can be attributed to infringing wearing apparel.
China remains the top trading partner for IPR violations
