What happens to infringing goods after a court ruling?
The court may order that infringing materials and implements be disposed of outside the channels of commerce. Alternatively, the court can order the total destruction of these items without providing compensation to the infringer. This prevents the infringing goods from returning to the market. This authority is granted under Section 76 Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines. “76.5. The court may, in its discretion, order that the infringing goods, materials and implements predominantly used in the infringement be disposed of outside the channels of commerce or destroyed, without compensation;” January 3, 2026About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
