THE EUROPEAN UNION CREATES A COMPULSORY IDENTIFICATION NUMBER FOR THE EXCHANGE OF INFORMATION BETWEEN THE EU CUSTOMS AGENCIES AND THE HOLDERS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

Since last September 15, 2020, economic operators in the EU must make use of the so-called EORI number (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) in all information exchange procedures with EU customs authorities.
The introduction of the EORI number will allow the unique identification of the holders of intellectual property rights in a secure manner, as well as compliance with the regulations on data protection.
The most far-reaching effect is the obligation to include the EORI number in requests for customs intervention in procedures to determine whether intellectual property rights have been infringed.
