March 06, 2015 02:49
India has not been able to take meaningful action against notorious markets like the Nehru Place in New Delhi where counterfeit products are openly sold, the US said today.
"Numerous markets in India have appeared in past Lists, with no identified meaningful, effective response by the Indian government," the US Trade Representative said in its 'Out-of-Cycle Review of Notorious Markets' report released today.
"The United States continues to raise the importance of IPR protection and enforcement with India, underscoring the need to combat counterfeiting and piracy in both online and physical markets," it said.
"The United States encourages India to take sustained and coordinated enforcement action at the Nehru Place (New Delhi), previously-listed markets, and numerous other non-listed markets in its territory," the USTR said.
The report highlights certain physical and online markets around the world that are reported to engage in and facilitate substantial copyright piracy and trademark counterfeiting that harms American businesses and undermines our workers.
