Procedure (special aspects)
Although there is no surveillance application procedure, in practice the power of attorney and certificates of registration of trademarks or copyrights are filed before the General Directorate of Customs and the Attorney Generals Office so that the authorities are aware of the rights existence and request for an unofficial "look out".
Once a fraudulent merchandise is identified, it is mandatory to file a complaint with the Attorney General's Office and a letter to the General Directorate of Customs. In this court procedure, it is possible to reach an agreement which includes the destruction of the products, recognition of rights and financial compensation at any time of the process.
