USTR Releases 2026 Special 301 Report on Intellectual Property Protection and Enforcement

WASHINGTON — Today, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) released its 2026 Special 301 Report on the adequacy and effectiveness of U.S. trading partners’ protection and enforcement of intellectual property (IP) rights.

“Using all the enforcement tools we have to address unfair trade practices is a top priority,” said Ambassador Jamieson Greer. “We have rigorously reviewed our trading partners' IP practices and expect to take action where needed to protect American innovators and creators globally."

In this year’s Special 301 Report, USTR identifies Vietnam as a Priority Foreign Country. Other changes in placement for this year’s Special 301 Report include moving Argentina and Mexico from the Priority Watch List to the Watch List due to important improvements on IP policy, adding the European Union to the Watch List, and removing Bulgaria from the Watch List.
