What are the primary remedies for copyright infringement?
A person who infringes a protected right may be subject to an injunction to restrain further unauthorized acts. The court can also order the defendant to desist from infringement to prevent imported infringing goods from entering commerce. Additionally, the infringer may be required to pay actual damages, including legal costs and expenses incurred by the proprietor. These remedies are established under Section 216.1 Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. “216.1. Remedies for Infringement – Any person infringing a right protected under this law shall be liable: (a) To an injunction restraining such infringement. The court may also order the defendant to desist from an infringement, among others, to prevent the entry into the channels of commerce of imported goods that involve an infringement, immediately after customs clearance of such goods.” January 8, 2026About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
