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

H.R. 4930 proposes to enhance coordination and information sharing among federal agencies responsible for customs enforcement and trade matters, specifically regarding suspected violations of intellectual property rights. The bill would facilitate better communication between agencies like U.S. Customs and Border Protection and other trade-related departments to identify and combat counterfeit goods, pirated materials, and other intellectual property infringements entering U.S. commerce.

If enacted, this bill could help consumers by reducing the availability of counterfeit and pirated products in the marketplace, protecting legitimate businesses and workers in industries affected by intellectual property theft, and improving the efficiency of customs enforcement. The bill has been approved by the House Committee on Ways and Means and is now eligible for a floor vote in the House of Representatives, though it has not yet been enacted into law.
