NJSP IP Enforcement Program

The New Jersey State Police (NJSP) proposes to increase criminal investigations capabilities relative to intellectual property enforcement statewide with its established task force. The task force proposes that it will continue to work with its allied law enforcement partners to combat crimes involving public health and safety, intellectual property crimes, piracy, economic-industrial espionage and a focus on a community buyer awareness program backed by education, presented by task force members. The goals of this project are like past goals, which have resulted in successful intellectual property enforcement cases identifying counterfeit products, suspects, and businesses that profit from the manufacturing, distribution, and sale of counterfeit products and prosecution of these cases with the appropriate prosecutorial entity. Collaborating with Federal Law Enforcement Agencies, County, Campus, and Local Law Enforcement, will increase the identification, apprehension, and prosecution of suspects; and financially impact the criminal organizations engaging in this activity.
