IP2Innovate has responded to the request for feedback on the upcoming European Commission’s Intellectual Property Action Plan.

We applaud, in particular, the Commission’s commitment in the roadmap to “continue to monitor the application of the IPR Enforcement Directive to ensure it is effective and balanced, particularly on injunctions.”
