Since 2014, the International IP Crime Investigators College (IIPCIC) has been celebrating excellence across the IP enforcement and protection communities around the world. Our annual awards are designed to acknowledge and reward law enforcement personnel and government agencies making a significant impact with innovative and effective approaches to fighting IP crime in this global and challenging environment.
This IIPCIC Award recognizes a law enforcement officer, team or unit for demonstrating outstanding leadership in designing or implementing a unique and innovative approach to an intellectual property crime investigation. The ideal nomination would involve a matter that crossed jurisdictions or countries and posed a risk to human health or public safety.
This IIPCIC Award recognizes an individual’s outstanding contribution to the IP community. The nominee would demonstrate the highest professional standards through innovative approaches related to training, technology, or other law enforcement capabilities.
Winners will be announced as part of the 17th International Law Enforcement IP Crime Conference, scheduled from 23 to 25 September 2024 in Willemstad, Curaçao.
Anyone in the IP community, including law enforcement, rights holders, or other stakeholders, may honour the exemplary efforts of an individual, department, team or specific unit by nominating them to be considered for these awards.
If you would like to submit a nomination, please complete the Nomination Form before July 31, 2024, and attach any supporting documents and photos you wish to submit.
