<h1>IP Rights Challenges Persist: Country Flagged for Inconsistent Patent Protection and Enforcement Mechanisms</h1> The US Trade Representative's 2025 Special 301 report again placed a country on the 'priority watch list' for intellectual property rights concerns. The report highlights ongoing challenges with patent protection, enforcement, and interpretation of intellectual property laws. Despite some improvements, the country remains inconsistent in IP rights protection. The report notes long patent waiting periods, potential patent revocations, and high customs duties on IP-intensive products. The US intends to continue engaging with the country on intellectual property matters.
