The INTERPOL Database on International Intellectual Property (DIIP) Crime is an autonomous iBase database containing information about transnational and organized intellectual property (IP) crimes.

It has been specifically developed to be a depository for private sector industry information about transnational and organized IP crime. The Database on International Intellectual Property (DIIP) Crime neither competes with established public sector IP crime databases nor duplicates existing IP crime data collection mechanisms.

Data contained in the database will be subjected to criminal analysis to identify links between transnational and organized cross-industry sector IP criminal activity; facilitate criminal investigations; and, develop regional and global strategic IP crime reports.

INTERPOL does not disclose information contained in Database on International Intellectual Property (DIIP) Crime. Participating industries receive feedback in the form of referrals indicating that two or more industries are being targeted by the same transnational organized criminals.

Disclosure then takes place at the discretion of, and by, the industry owning the information in accordance with local data protection requirements.

INTERPOL Recommended Minimum Global Standard for the Collection of Information on Counterfeiting and Piracy by the Private Sector.

The INTERPOL Recommended Minimum Global Standard for the Collection of Information on Counterfeiting and Piracy by the Private Sector complements the Database on International Intellectual Property (DIIP) Crime.

The purpose of the INTERPOL Recommended Minimum Global Standard for the Collection of Information on Counterfeiting and Piracy by the Private Sector is to provide IP crime affected private sector entities with guidance about the type of information they should consider collecting about transnational and organized IP crime attacks on their interests.

In the event that private sector entities adopt the Minimum Global Standard it will enable the information to be easily assimilated into the INTERPOL Database on International Intellectual Property (DIIP) Crime in accordance with DIIP Data Handling and Referral Procedures.

The Minimum Global Standard will also enable private sector entities to share information about transnational and organized IP crime with each other more effectively.
