In its fight against counterfeiting and piracy and spreading an understanding about the adverse effects that counterfeit goods can have on consumers, Dubai Customs IPR Department launched the ninth edition of the Annual Award for Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) for universities and schools on Wednesday.
