We could embark into the unknown world of customs policing all IP rights for international trade at their borders. The tensions are already apparent in that some countries cleary distinguish between TM and CR infringement as being "counterfeiting" and other countries EU, US and JP wanting to put all IPR into the framework. <br /><br />I think that we all agree that TM and CR counterfeiting is usually clear cut, but if patent infringement is brought in then how will the Customs officer be aware if the Nokia phone has a chip set that infringes the RIM patent on data compression? <br /><br />I would rather the officer be more concerned about narcotics, people trafficking, smuggling rather than policing the patent portfolios of corporations.
