TITLE VIII
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Chapter I
General provisions
201. Any infringement of the rights of the owner of a patent, a certificate of addition, a
certificate for a layout design (topography) for integrated circuits, a certificate of registration
for an industrial design or a certificate of registration for a factory mark, trademark or service
mark, as defined in Articles 53, 54, 99, 123, 124, 154 and 155 above respectively, shall
constitute infringement.
The offering for sale, marketing, reproduction, use, stocking with a view to use or
marketing of an infringing product shall not, where the acts are committed by a person other
than the manufacturer of the infringing article, incur the liability of the infringer unless they
are performed in full knowledge of the facts.
202. Infringement proceedings may be brought by the owner of the patent, certificate of
addition, certificate of layout design (topography) for integrated circuits, certificate of
registration for an industrial design or certificate of registration for a factory mark, trade mark
or service mark.
However, the beneficiary of an exclusive right to work may, unless the licensing
contract provides otherwise, bring infringement proceedings where, after having been given
formal notice to do so by a notarial officer, the owner fails to bring such proceedings.
The owner shall be entitled to take part in any infringement proceedings brought by the
beneficiary, in accordance with the previous paragraph.
Any licensee shall be entitled to take part in any infringement proceedings brought by
the owner, for the purpose of receiving compensation for the harm which he has personally
undergone.
203. Where an action alleging infringement has been brought before the court, the court
President, ruling according to summary proceedings, may prohibit, provisionally and subject
to a coercive fine, the continuation of the alleged infringing acts, or make such continuation
subject to the provision of guarantees to ensure compensation of the owner of the industrial
property title or the licensee.
A request for prohibition or for the provision of guarantees shall be entertained only
where the action appears to be well founded, and where it has been brought within a
maximum period of 30 days as from the day on which the owner became aware of the
circumstances on which it is based.
The court may make the prohibition subject to the provision by the plaintiff of
guarantees to compensate the defendant for any prejudice suffered where the infringement
action is subsequently judged to be unfounded.
