What are the notification duties of a clerk of court regarding suits involving marks?
Clerks of court must notify the Director in writing within one month of any action or proceeding filed that involves a registered mark. This notice must include the names and addresses of the litigants and the specific registration numbers involved in the case. Section 164 Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines also requires notification within one month after a judgment is entered or an appeal is taken. The Office then incorporates this information into the registration’s filewrapper for accurate record-keeping,. “SEC. 164. Notice of Filing Suit Given to the Director. – It shall be the duty of the clerks of such courts within one (1) month after the filing… to notify the Director in writing” January 7, 2026About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
