Commerce minister Jurin Laksanawisit has ordered the Intellectual Property Department to work closely with government and private agencies to suppress intellectual property violations and upgrade existing laws as the government aims to remove Thailand from the US Trade Representative s (USTR) watch list (WL) as soon as possible.
According to Mr Jurin, the department has been instructed to work with US-related agencies to build an IP Work Plan to remove Thailand from the USTR s WL and all US lists in the future as well as pursue talks with its US counterparts under the Trade and Investment Framework Agreement (Tifa) to tackle IP issues.
