We are happy to inform you that the Member firms of Borenius Group Luiga Mody Hääl Borenius (Estonia), Borenius & Kemppinen (Finland), Liepa, Skopina / Borenius (Latvia), and Foigt & Partners / Regija Borenius (Lithuania) have joined CAPIP.EU, a unique network of law firms fighting against counterfeiting and piracy.
CAPIP.EU (Coalition Against Piracy) is a service network covering the EU, Norway, and Switzerland and consisting of 23 law firms. The mission of CAPIP.EU is to allow access to a reliable legal service network through a single law firm and receive information about counterfeit and pirated articles within 29 jurisdictions.
Partner of Luiga Mody Hääl Borenius and the Estonian representative of CAPIP.EU Peeter Kutman noted that the member firms and customs gain access to a centralised web service for identifying, following, and destroying counterfeit goods, thereby providing legal support to proprietors of brands, patents, models and copyrights in their fight against counterfeiting and piracy. Quick reactions are the best way to prevent counterfeits from entering the market. Thanks to the CAPIP web service, member firms and right holders can stay up to date on the progress of their own cases.
The cause for establishing CAPIP.EU was driven by the dramatic increase of counterfeit goods over the past years. In 2008, nearly 50,000 shipments were seized by customs in the EU area containing approx 180 million counterfeit and pirated goods the value of which rose to approx 15 billion euros in comparison to 2007, signalling an increase of 125%.
