It is within this context, the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) decided to conduct a study to better understand the volume and frequency of IPR infringement on social media. This study was organised around three strands of interest to better understand the current activities and trends related to counterfeit physical products and the piracy of digital content: 1) provide a comprehensive picture of the social media uses related to possible IPR infringement activities or promotion; 2) measure the relative presence of IPR infringement on physical products and digital content on social media compared to genuine products or licit copyright-protected digital content; 3) identify key indicators in order to better recognise IPR infringement business models on social media UR - https://op.europa.eu/en/publication-detail/-/publication/0f9b68ae-b138-11eb-8307-01aa75ed71a1/language-en ED - European Union Intellectual Property Office ER -
