Unfortunately, Mexico remains on the Watch List of the Annual Special 301 Report on Intellectual Property Protection and Review of Notorious Markets for Counterfeiting and Piracy compiled by the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR).

The document concluded that the Mexican government has so far not adequately implemented the necessary actions for the protection of intellectual property rights.
