2011 Special 301 Out-of-Cycle Review of Notorious Markets: Request for Public Comments

摘要

In 2010 the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) began publishing the notorious market list as an "Out of Cycle Review" separately from the annual Special 301 report. This review of Notorious Markets ("Notorious Markets List") results in the publication of examples of Internet and physical markets that have been the subject of enforcement action or that may merit further investigation for possible intellectual property infringements. The Notorious Markets List does not represent a finding of violation of law, but rather is a summary of information that serves to highlight the problem of marketplaces that deal in infringing goods and which help sustain global piracy and counterfeiting. USTR is hereby requesting written submissions from the public identifying potential Internet and physical notorious markets that exist outside the United States and that may be included in the 2011 Notorious Markets List.
