On November 8, 2022, the Customs Board of the State Revenue Service of the Republic of Latvia in cooperation with the Patent Office of the Republic of Latvia and the European Union Intellectual Property Office with support of the European Commission organized a seminar to the officers of the customs, police and other law enforcement institutions whose everyday work is related to the protection of intellectual property rights, including combating fakes. The seminar was attended by more than 60 listeners and several representatives of rights holders who gave their presentations.
