Thailand Hosts 19th International Law Enforcement IP Crime Conference
The Royal Thai Police, in collaboration with INTERPOL and ULSE, is hosting a global conference in Thailand to address intellectual property crime and digital threats.
On October 28, 2026, the Royal Thai Police, in partnership with INTERPOL and UL Standards & Engagement (ULSE), convened the 19th International Law Enforcement IP Crime Conference. Held from October 27 to 29, 2026, the event focuses on the theme 'Bridging Borders: From Regional Action to Global Impact.' According to Police Lieutenant General Thatchai Pitaneelaboot, the conference aims to strengthen international cooperation in combating counterfeit goods and digital-related criminal activities. INTERPOL Secretary General Valdecy Urquiza is among the key participants involved in these discussions. For residents and travelers, this initiative highlights a heightened focus on intellectual property enforcement within Thailand, which may lead to stricter monitoring of counterfeit markets and digital security measures. While the conference underscores a commitment to global standards, the specific operational changes or new enforcement protocols that may affect daily commerce or digital usage for the public remain to be confirmed. The event serves as a platform for law enforcement agencies to align strategies against transnational crime, emphasizing the importance of cross-border collaboration in protecting intellectual property rights.
