The United States Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator today issued an annual report on IP enforcement. One year after her appointment, Coordinator Victoria Espinel claimed significant progress on the plan for the office set up to coordinate IP enforcement activities across various US government agencies. This includes actions taken against alleged counterfeit and pirated goods, and an upcoming white paper to the US Congress, telling members of recommended changes to laws relating to IP rights.

The US Chamber of Commerce issued a statement lauding the report, and urged Congress to further ratchet up IP protections in the coming year.
