Request for intervention by the International Trademark Association in The H.D. Lee Company, Inc. and Authentic American Apparel, Inc. vs. Emerald Garment Manufacturing Corporation, G.R. No. 207060

Court

The Honorable Supreme Court of the Philippines

Our Position

INTA’s view is that a previous finding of lack of confusing similarity between two trademarks in a trademark action does not preclude a subsequent finding of unfair competition. This view is consistent with the Philippines’ unfair competition law (Section 168 of the IP Code) as well as international principles of unfair competition law.
