The Czech Republic has adopted a new law concerning customs
enforcement of intellectual property rights in relation to goods
placed on the Czech national market (Act No. 355/2014 Coll.).
This law uses terms as defined in Article 2 of EU Regulation No
608/2013 concerning customs enforcement of intellectual property
rights (the "Regulation"). It also follows the structure
and rules of the Regulation.
It is expressly prohibited to deal with goods infringing
intellectual property rights, in particular production, processing,
transportation, storage, sale, other transfer, offer, import,
export, placing on the market, taking over, use and keeping of such
goods, unless such dealing is for personal use only. This law does
not apply to goods that have been manufactured i) with the consent
of the right-holder or ii) in excess of the quantities agreed on
between the rights-holder and the licensed manufacturer of the
goods.
