Report IP Theft


The National Intellectual Property Rights Coordination Center (IPR Center) is the U.S. government's clearinghouse for investigations into counterfeiting and piracy — crimes that threaten the public's health and safety, the U.S. economy, and our war fighters.

The IPR Center encourages members of the general public, industry, trade associations, law enforcement and government agencies to report potential violations of intellectual property rights through this website. Completion of this referral form is voluntary.

In order to assist you in completing this form, we have developed a lead-referral document that explains the process in more detail. 

Additionally, the IPR Center accepts online complaints from actual victims as well as from third parties to the victims. While providing your contact information is voluntary, the IPR Center can best process a complaint if it receives accurate information in the form and has the ability to contact the complainant to clarify information that was provided, when necessary.
