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.

It is expected that private sector entities will collect data about their business activities as a matter of course. However, the information collected for this purpose will not necessarily be information which can be used to identify if they are being attacked by the same organized criminals that are also attacking other entities or industry sectors.

Some private sector entities do systematically collect information about how transnational and organized IP criminals affect their business. Other private sector entities do not collect such information, but may wish to do so in the future.

The Recommended Minimum Global Standard provides both types of private sector entities with recommended minimum standards for the collection of information which is compatible with searchable information fields contained in the INTERPOL Database on International Intellectual Property (DIIP) Crime.

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.
