The IACC portal program provides a system for intellectual property rights-holders, such as manufacturers of luxury goods, electronics and consumer products, to report the illegal sale of counterfeit items. Once a claim is verified by the IACC, a third-party monitoring agent alerts affected payment processors, such as credit card and money transfer companies, to ensure the illegal merchant no longer accepts payments through these channels.
