Title: Regulations Relating to 

Recordation and Enforcement of 

Trademark and Copyrights (Part 133 of 

the CBP Regulations) 

OMB Number: 1651–0123. 

Abstract: Title 19 of the United States 

Code section 1526(e) prohibits the 

importation of articles that bear a 

counterfeit mark of a trademark that is 

registered with the United States Patent 

and Trademark Office (USPTO) and 

recorded with U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection (CBP). Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. 

1124, the importation of articles that 

copy or simulate the trade name of a 

manufacturer or trader, or copy or 

simulate a trademark registered with the 

USPTO and recorded with CBP is 

prohibited. Likewise, under 17 U.S.C. 

602 and 17 U.S.C. 603, the importation 

of articles that constitute an 

infringement of copyright in protected 

copyrighted works is prohibited. Both 

15 U.S.C. 1124 and 17 U.S.C. 602, 

authorize the Secretary of the Treasury 

to prescribe by regulation for the 

recordation of trademarks, trade names 

and copyrights with CBP. Additional 

rulemaking authority in this regard is 

conferred by CBP’s general rulemaking 

authority as found in 19 U.S.C. 1624. 

CBP officers enforce these intellectual 

property rights at the border. The 

information that respondents must 

submit in order to seek the assistance of 

CBP to protect against infringing 

imports is specified for trademarks 

under 19 CFR 133.2 and 133.3, and the 

information to be submitted for 

copyrights is specified under 19 CFR 

133.32 and 133.33. Trademark, trade 

name, and copyright owners seeking 

border enforcement of their intellectual 

property rights provide information 

through the recordation process in order 

to assist CBP officers in identifying 

violating articles at the border. 

Respondents may submit this 

information through the IPR eRecordation Web site at https://

iprr.cbp.gov/. 

Current Actions: CBP proposes to 

extend the expiration date of this 

information collection with no change 

to the burden hours or to the
