The Ordinance on Procedures for the settlement of Administrative Cases was passed on May 21, 1996 and came into force on July 1, 1996. It was amended in 2006 by the new Ordinance on Procedures for the settlement of Administrative Cases.
The Ordinance provided for general principles concerning the administrative proceedings and procedures in courts in order to settle administrative cases. Although the former Ordinance did not contain specific provisions over intellectual property rights, it also applied to such disputes.
