How are remedies limited against innocent publishers of infringing advertisements?
When infringement occurs within a paid advertisement in a periodical or electronic communication, remedies against innocent publishers are limited. The rightsholder is restricted to seeking an injunction against the future presentation of that specific advertisement. Section 159.3 Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines specifies that this limitation applies only to publishers or distributors who had no ill intent. This ensures that the media is not held liable for the content of the advertisements they carry in good faith,. “159.3. Where the infringement complained of is contained in or is part of paid advertisement… the remedies… shall be limited to an injunction against the presentation of such advertising matter in future issues” January 7, 2026About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
