USURPATION OF INDUSTRIAL PROPERTY RIGHTS

When a third party fraudulently uses the distinctive marks or new creations legally protected without the authorization of the owners, it may be denounced before the public prosecutor’s office to criminally condemn the acts of usurpation.

What is sought with this process is that the usurper is condemned to pay a fine, and in certain cases, a prison sentence of 3 to 6 years.
