Last year, the USTR office recognized these efforts, but cited the government's ineffective enforcement of the new laws as the reason for putting Taiwan back on the Priority Watch List last year. In the run up to the US' yearly review of the list at the end of this month, the government has been scrambling to demonstrate its commitment to IP reforms.
