In February, the International Intellectual Property Alliance (IIPA), a coalition of US copyright protection organizations, asked the Office of the US Foreign Trade Representative to place India and 11 other nations under watch for IP violations.
The IIPA is made up of seven trade groups representing industries in which copyright protection is a key issue: the Association of American Publishers, the Business Software Alliance, the Entertainment Software Association, the Independent Film & Television Alliance, the Motion Picture Association of America, the National Music Publishers’ Association and the Recording Industry Association of America.
In its submission, titled “2009 special 301 report on copyright protection and enforcement”, the IIAP asked the Office of the US Foreign Trade Representative to include India on its IP priority watch list, along with Argentina, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Egypt, Indonesia, Mexico, Pakistan, the Philippines, Russia and Thailand.
