In a significant move to strengthen its intellectual property
framework, Cambodia has launched a comprehensive Intellectual
Property Rights Recordation System (IPRRS). This innovative system,
which began its trial phase on 1st September 2024, aims to improve
the efficiency of customs operations and enhance enforcement
against counterfeit goods and parallel imports.
The IPRRS allows for the efficient recording of trade marks,
geographical indications, and copyrights, enabling customs officers
to access crucial data quickly. This streamlined process is
designed to bolster the detection of illegal imports and
counterfeit items, facilitating timely interventions by customs
officials.
