The Ordinance on Procedures for the settlement of Administrative Cases came into force on July 1, 2006. It aims at amending a number of articles of the former Ordinance on Procedures for the settlement of Administrative Cases, 1996.
The new Ordinance also contains general provisions about administrative proceedings and procedures in courts concerning the settlement of administrative cases. However, unlike the former Ordinance, it refers specifically to intellectual property rights (article 11-12) foreseeing that the court has jurisdiction to settle administrative cases over intellectual property infringements.
