{"abstract":"The Department of Commerce invites public input and participation in shaping government programs for protecting the intellectual property rights of U.S. businesses, including Small- and Medium-Sized Enterprises (SMEs), in foreign markets. As evidenced by the launch of the President's National Export Initiative, improving U.S. Government support for U.S. business in overseas markets is an Administration priority. Unfortunately, American exporters face various barriers to entry in overseas markets including barriers related to intellectual property rights. In coordination with the Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator (\"IPEC\") and to implement certain action items in the 2010 Joint Strategic Plan on Intellectual Property Enforcement submitted to Congress by the IPEC, the Department of Commerce is conducting a comprehensive review of existing U.S. Government efforts to educate, guide, and provide resources to U.S. businesses that are: 1. Acquiring intellectual property rights in foreign markets; 2. Contemplating exporting intellectual property-based products or choosing markets for export; 3. Actively entering foreign markets or facing difficulties entering foreign markets; or 4. Encountering difficulties enforcing their intellectual property rights in foreign markets. The goal of the review is to improve efforts to support U.S. businesses facing barriers related to intellectual property rights protection and enforcement in overseas markets.","action":"Request for written submissions from the public.","agencies":[{"raw_name":"DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE","name":"Commerce Department","id":54,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/commerce-department","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/54","parent_id":null,"slug":"commerce-department"},{"raw_name":"International Trade Administration","name":"International Trade Administration","id":261,"url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/agencies/international-trade-administration","json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/agencies/261","parent_id":54,"slug":"international-trade-administration"}],"body_html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/html/2010/09/30/2010-24508.html","cfr_references":[],"citation":"75 FR 60408","comment_url":null,"comments_close_on":null,"correction_of":null,"corrections":[],"dates":"Submissions must be received on or before Friday, October 29, 2010, at 5 p.m.","disposition_notes":null,"docket_ids":[],"dockets":[],"document_number":"2010-24508","effective_on":null,"end_page":60409,"executive_order_notes":null,"executive_order_number":null,"explanation":null,"full_text_xml_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/xml/2010/09/30/2010-24508.xml","html_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2010/09/30/2010-24508/government-programs-to-assist-businesses-protect-their-intellectual-property-rights-ipr-in-foreign","images":{},"images_metadata":{},"json_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/api/v1/documents/2010-24508?publication_date=2010-09-30","mods_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/metadata/granule/FR-2010-09-30/2010-24508/mods.xml","not_received_for_publication":null,"page_length":2,"page_views":{"count":365,"last_updated":"2026-04-04 04:15:05 -0400"},"pdf_url":"https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2010-09-30/pdf/2010-24508.pdf","presidential_document_number":null,"proclamation_number":null,"public_inspection_pdf_url":null,"publication_date":"2010-09-30","raw_text_url":"https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/full_text/text/2010/09/30/2010-24508.txt","regulation_id_number_info":{},"regulation_id_numbers":[],"regulations_dot_gov_info":{"checked_regulationsdotgov_at":"2010-10-20T08:13:31Z"},"regulations_dot_gov_url":null,"significant":null,"signing_date":null,"start_page":60408,"subtype":null,"title":"Government Programs To Assist Businesses Protect Their Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in Foreign Markets: Request of the International Trade Administration's Office of Intellectual Property Rights, Department of Commerce","toc_doc":"Government Programs to Assist Businesses Protect Their Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in Foreign Markets","toc_subject":null,"topics":[],"type":"Notice","volume":75}
