Thailand beefs up efforts to combat piracy

The Department of Intellectual Property (DIP) Director-General Vuttikrai Leewiraphan recently announced a memorandum of agreement (MOU) between 30 copyright owners and three well-known online marketplaces – Lazada, Shopee and TikTok Shop. This collaboration aims to strengthen the battle against piracy against counterfeit goods in Thailand. In addition, the DIP is actively working with Facebook to develop technologies for detecting and eliminating counterfeit goods to address copyright concerns.
