To expand the sharing of information with respect to suspected violations of intellectual property rights in trade.

This bill gives U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) more power to share information with trademark and copyright owners and other interested parties when goods coming into the country might be breaking intellectual property laws. It lets CBP share more types of information than before, including pictures of and details about packing materials and containers, as well as private information from online marketplaces, shipping companies, and other businesses involved in getting the goods into the U.S. The bill also broadens who CBP can ask for help when checking whether imported goods violate these laws and requires CBP to notify people when it sends them this information.
