<h1>Customs Manual 2025: Empowering IPR Enforcement Under Customs Act & Key Acts to Combat Infringing Imports</h1> The Customs Manual 2025 outlines legal provisions related to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) under various acts, including the Copyright Act, Trade Marks Act, Designs Act, and Geographical Indications Act. It empowers the Central Government under the Customs Act, 1962, to prohibit the import of goods infringing IPR. Notifications such as No. 51/2010-Customs and its amendments specify procedures for enforcing these prohibitions, focusing on imports intended for sale or use in India. The IPR (Imported Goods) Enforcement Rules, 2007, detail procedures for Customs and right holders to address infringing goods, including registration, notice requirements, and protection measures for rightful importers. Parallel imports of genuine products are addressed separately by the Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion.
