	Abstract:		The goals of the IP Enforcement Program grants are to establish or expand existing IP task forces to include State, local, or tribal law enforcement agencies; to exclusively conduct forensic analyses of evidence and conduct prosecutions in IP theft cases; to educate the general public and businesses about violations of IP laws; and to acquire and implement technology that facilitates investigations and forensic analyses in IP-theft cases. Data from grantees indicate that from April through September 2014, 260 people were arrested for violations of IP laws, a decrease of 9 percent from the same period last year. A total of 80 State and local IP search warrants were served, the same as last year. Seventy-nine piracy/counterfeiting organizations were disrupted, and 73 were dismantled, a decrease of 46 percent and 45 percent, respectively, from last year. A total of $49,594,688 in counterfeit property, other property, and currency enforcement was seized during enforcement operations, a 24-percent decrease compared to last year. Also reported are the nature and volume of training and technical assistance information provided to improve outcomes. 4 tables, 1 figure, and lists of upcoming training events and resources
