St. Mary’s Publishing Corp. (SMPC) Lawyer Oscar Manahan stressed that the decision of Manila Regional Trial Court (RTC) in granting their complaint over a Chinese firm and its local partners provided a model for copyright infringement.
“This decision recognizes the Philippine government’s commitment to the Berne Convention to fully recognize, protect and enforce IPRs (intellectual property rights) in the country. The Berne Convention on Copyrights where Philippines and China are signatories have committed to fully recognize and to enforce the Philippine decision under the reciprocity provisions in the treaty,” Manahan emphasized in a statement on Sunday.
