What happens to implements used for making infringing copies?
Implements for making infringing articles, such as plates and molds, can be impounded during a case. Upon a court order, these same implements can be delivered for destruction without compensation. This prevents the infringer from continuing their illegal manufacturing activities. This authority is described in Section 216.1 Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. “…all infringing copies or devices, as well as all plates, molds, or other means for making such infringing copies as the court may order.” January 8, 2026About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
