Reporting intellectual property crime

If you have concerns or are aware of any person that may be involved in IP crime, then you may report this through your local police or trading standards office. Alternatively, you may contact CrimeStoppers .

Those people involved with IP crime are generally involved with other types of crime such as benefit fraud, drugs and people trafficking. Therefore, it is imperative that you report any instance of IP crime that you are aware of, to the enforcement authorities.

We are building an intelligence database (TellPat) which is being used by all the enforcement agencies to record any instances of IP crime.

The information held on the database will be analysed and the resulting intelligence reports will be used by the IP Crime Group to carry out future joint enforcement actions throughout the country.
