49. Civil and criminal remedies

Abstract

This chapter deals with civil and criminal remedies that are available where intellectual property rights are violated. It first considers the civil relief available before a trial takes place, namely: interim injunctions and prevention of imports. It then outlines the civil remedies available at full trial: final injunction, delivery up or destruction, the awarding of damages, the account of profits, and publicity orders. Finally, it examines the various criminal remedies that intellectual property right holders may avail.
