Procedure (special aspects)
Although there is an Administrative surveillance procedure, once a counterfeit product is found, there is no simplified administrative procedure for the destruction of the goods.
In order for the counterfeit merchandise to be seized, the trademark holder must file a criminal complaint, and the criminal proceeding will begin. The trademark owner acts as a victim assisting the Prosecutor, but is not a party to the proceedings. To order the destruction of the merchandise, the Prosecutor will order a technical expertise, and once the quality is confirmed, he will order its destruction or donation.
If the offender is identified, the Prosecutor may formalize the investigation and charge him and thus begin the oral trial for his conviction or, as in the case of crimes against IP, he may propose an alternative route: reparatory agreement (victim-offender) or abbreviated process.
