The Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) establishes minimum standards for the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights, including copyright and related rights, and places significant emphasis on effective enforcement mechanisms. Among these, the provisions relating to criminal procedures are particularly important in combating serious forms of copyright infringement such as piracy and counterfeiting. These requirements are primarily laid down in Article 61 of the TRIPS Agreement, which mandates member states to provide criminal procedures and penalties in specific circumstances. TRIPS requires that members provide for criminal procedures and penalties at least in cases of willful copyright piracy on a commercial scale. This requirement reflects the recognition that certain forms of infringement go beyond civil disputes and amount to serious offenses that harm not only the rights holders but also the economy and public interest. The term “willful” indicates that the infringement must be intentional and deliberate, excluding accidental or innocent infringements from the ambit of criminal liability. The phrase “on a commercial scale” further limits criminal sanctions to activities that involve significant economic impact, such as large-scale reproduction, distribution, or sale of pirated works for profit. The obligation to criminalize such acts ensures that member countries treat serious copyright violations as offenses against the state, thereby enabling public authorities to initiate prosecution.
