In order to provide its members a facility to follow up standard type of cases in European countries where SNB-REACT has no operational facilities, it has concluded agreements with specialised IP lawfirms.
Purpose of these agreements are to allow members a consistent approach to follow up actions initiated by customs or police officers. Taking into account budgetary constraints of our members, we agreed on fixed fees set at a relatively low level.

In Finland, we have such an understanding with Kolster Oy Ab.

The activities typically include:
(i) Filing applicable motions under customs procedure;
(ii) Arranging samples, maintaining contacts with customs and right
holders;
(iii) Organizing the destruction of goods;
(iv) Drafting and sending Cease-and-Desist letters to infringers in
non-border measure cases;
(v) Arranging training to customs and police.
