Canada, Spain added to IPR watch list

An annual report about the state of piracy and intellectual property rights issued by the United States Trade Representative (USTR) has placed Canada on its Priority Watch list.

Also on the list:

-- Korea is being removed from the Watch List in recognition of the significant improvements it has made during the past year.

-- USTR is also elevating Algeria and Indonesia to the Priority Watch List, reflecting growing concern about the IPR situation in those countries.

There are 12 countries on this year’s Priority Watch List: China, Russia, Algeria, Argentina, Canada, Chile, India, Indonesia, Israel, Pakistan, Thailand, and Venezuela. Priority Watch List countries will be the subject of particularly intense engagement through bilateral discussion during the coming year.
