On July 6, 2023, from the Criminal Investigation Bureau (CIB), National Police Agency of Taiwan, Chief Technician Richard Chuang Ming-Shiung, and from the IFACT-GC (International Federation Against Copyright Theft (Greater China) Limited), a private organization in Hong Kong that protects intellectual property rights throughout Greater China, Managing Director Sam Ho, and Authorized Representative Ken Ho, visited CODA.
The CIB is the central agency responsible for the unified direction and supervision of criminal police operations throughout Taiwan. CODA has been conducting “Joint Enforcement” against copyright infringement overseas since 2005. In this context, in the investigation of Internet crimes in Taiwan (ISD = Illicit Streaming Device, illegal applications, infringing websites, etc.), CODA has uncovered many infringement cases with the cooperation of the Telecommunications Investigation Corp under the command of CIB. CIB and CODA have built a good relationship over the years, as evidenced by CODA’s visit to CIB headquarters in Taipei in March of this year, where Representative Director Takero Goto presented Commissioner Li, Hsi-Ho with a plaque of appreciation for the results of his activities.
IFACT-GC is a private agency with a mission to protect intellectual property rights throughout Greater China. CODA has outsourced some of its ” Joint Enforcement ” work in Greater China to the company and, like CIB, has had a good relationship with the company for many years.
CODA Representative Director Goto and others participated in the meeting and exchanged a wide range of opinions. Both parties pledged to continue to implement ongoing countermeasures and detection in the “Joint Enforcement” conducted by CODA.

About CODA
CODA (Content Overseas Distribution Association) was established in 2002 at the call of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Agency for Cultural Affairs to promote the overseas development of Japanese content and take anti-piracy measures. Japan’s proud content, including music, movies, anime, broadcast programs, and video games, plays an important role in enhancing the nation’s international presence and economic growth. As digital technology becomes more widespread, it is even more significant to protect Japan’s content from increasingly artful copyright infringement and promote the content industry’s development. CODA contributes to the deterrence and detection of online and other piracy, by sharing knowledge with relevant government agencies, organizations, and companies in Japan and abroad, to engage in direct and indirect anti-piracy measures, as well as public relations activities.
