EUIPO is the European Union Intellectual Property Office responsible for managing the EU trade mark and the registered Community design. It also works with the IP offices of the EU Member States and international partners to offer a similar registration experience for trade marks and designs across Europe and the world.

Until March 2016 it was called the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (OHIM). This study focuses on the economic impact of counterfeit pesticides in the European Union marketplace and the wider costs for businesses, governments and society as a whole.

The study refers only to manufacturing and so does not include wholesale and retail trade due to unavailability of official public data.
