§16.9. Further Sanctions When a person has been found guilty of an offence under the provisions of the intellectual property law referred to in Section 15, the court shall, whenever this is considered adequate under the circumstances to create an effective deterrent to further infringement, order the seizure, forfeiture or disposal of the infringing goods and of any materials and implements the predominant use of which has been in the commission of the offence. §16.10. Administrative Procedures To the extent that any civil remedy can be ordered as a result of administrative procedures on the merits of a case, such procedures shall conform to principles equivalent in substance to those set forth in this Section. Section 17 Provisional Measures a) The court may order provisional measures to prevent any infringement or an unlawful use referred to in this Section from occurring, or to preserve relevant evidence in regard to an alleged infringement. b) In respect of any measure under this Section the court may require the applicant to furnish: i. ii. evidence satisfying the court that the applicant is the holder of the right and that the applicant‟s rights are being infringed or that such infringement is imminent; iii. security or equivalent assurance required by the court to protect the defendant and to prevent abuse; iv. any information necessary to identify the goods concerned by the authority that will execute the provisional measure. c) In exceptional circumstances where any delay is likely to cause irreparable harm to the holder of the right or where there is a demonstrable risk of evidence being destroyed, the court may order provisional measures without giving the other party an opportunity of being heard. In such case, the court shall give the parties affected notice of the decision at the latest after the execution of the measures. d) Where, provisional measures have been ordered under subsections (b) and (c), the defendant may file a request for review with the court within two weeks from the notification of the decision. In the review proceedings, the court shall give the parties concerned an opportunity of being heard and shall confirm, modify or revoke the decision within a reasonable period after the notification of the decision. 91
