What documents can a court impound during an infringement action?
Upon the application of a complainant, a court has the authority to impound specific documents during the pendency of an infringement case. These documents typically include sales invoices and other evidence related to the sale of infringing goods. Section 156.2 Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines provides this power to ensure that critical evidence is preserved for the calculation of damages. This prevents defendants from destroying records of their illegal profits during the legal process. “156.2. On application of the complainant, the court may impound during the pendency of the action, sales invoices and other documents evidencing sales.” January 7, 2026About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
