FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kira 

M. Alvarez, Chief Negotiator and 

Deputy Assistant U.S. Trade 

Representative for Intellectual Property 

Enforcement, Office of the United States 

Trade Representative, at (202) 395–

can be located at http://www.ustr.gov/ 

webfm_send/2379. 

1. Supplementary Information 

USTR, working with a group of 

trading partners, has concluded 

negotiations on a proposed agreement to 

strengthen international cooperation, 

enforcement practices and legal 

frameworks for addressing 

counterfeiting and piracy. USTR is 

requesting written comments from the 

public on the final text of the AntiCounterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) 

in connection with consideration of U.S. 

signature of the agreement. 

Participants in the negotiations 

included: Australia, Canada, the 

European Union (EU) represented by the 

European Commission and the EU 

Presidency (Belgium) and the EU 

Member States, Japan, Korea, Mexico, 

Morocco, New Zealand, Singapore, 

Switzerland and the United States. 

Consistent with the Administration’s 

strategy for intellectual property 

enforcement, ACTA would be the 

highest-standard plurilateral agreement 

yet achieved concerning the 

enforcement of intellectual property 

rights, and would establish an 

international model for effectively 

combating the global proliferation of 

commercial-scale counterfeiting and 

piracy. In addition to requirements 

concerning legal frameworks for 

intellectual property enforcement, the 

proposed agreement also includes 

innovative provisions to deepen 

international cooperation and to 

promote strong enforcement practices. 

Together these provisions will help to 

protect American jobs in innovative and 

creative industries against intellectual 

property theft. 

2. Text and Summary Information

together with summaries and related 

information, can be found at http://
