FEM companies invest heavily in providing technical innovative solutions, thereby preserving their competitiveness both in the EU and on global markets. To allow our industry to continue growing and staying innovative, intellectual property rights such as copyright, trademarks and patents should be unified across Europe and undeniably protected both in the EU and on foreign markets.
Therefore, FEM supports an EU-wide comprehensive system that focuses on fighting counterfeiting and ensuring a better enforcement of intellectual property rights. It is also essential that customs authorities in the EU closely cooperate with third countries and the industry, with the aim of preventing the trade of goods that infringe intellectual property rights.
Key message
>>> Our innovation must be protected in Europe and beyond
