Intellectual Property Rights

http://www.iipa.com/ INTERNATIONAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ALLIANCE - 2001 SPECIAL 301 REPORT 

http://www.ipthailand.org/

Ministry of Commerce - Department of Intellectual Property (DIP)

 

Property rights are guaranteed by the Constitution against condemnation or nationalization without fair compensation.  Secured interests in property are recognized and enforced.

 

Thailand has a civil law system under which all laws are embodied in statutes or codes promulgated by the government.  This practice is in contrast to the common law system in many Western countries, where court interpretations of statutes serve as governing legal precedent.

 

There is an independent judiciary that provides a forum for fair settlement of disputes.  A great deal of status is attached to being a judge, and the examinations to enter the judiciary are very difficult.  The judiciary jealously guards its independence.

 

Agencies of the government, as parties to commercial contracts, may be sued in the courts, and cannot raise a defense of sovereign immunity.  However, state property is not subject to expropriation.

 

There are four basic codes: Civil and Commercial Code, Criminal Code, Civil Procedure Code, and Criminal Procedure Code.  In adopting these codes early in the twentieth century, Thailand selected features of the two major Western legal systems (common law and civil law), and adapted to circumstances in Thailand provisions drawn from Britain, Germany, Switzerland, France, Japan, Italy, India, and other foreign systems.  Decisions and rulings of the judiciary and civil service can have considerable force as precedents.

 

There are three levels to the judicial system in Thailand:  the Court of First Instance, which handles most matters at inception, the Court of Appeals, and the Supreme Court.  There are specialized courts such as the Labor Court, Family Court, Tax Court, the Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court, and the Bankruptcy Court.

 

Intellectual Property Protection

Thailand has passed all TRIPS-mandated legislation and is a signatory of the Berne Convention, but not the Paris Convention, the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), or the World Intellectual Property Organization Performances and Phonograms Treaty (WPPT). With the establishment of a specialized Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court in 1997, Thailand has a solid legal and administrative infrastructure for intellectual property rights (IPR) protection.

Despite a good working relationship between foreign business entities and Thai enforcement authorities, IPR piracy continues at high levels.  U.S. copyright industries reported an estimated annual trade loss of more than $160 million from IPR infringement in 2002, and a majority of Thai and foreign companies operating in Thailand are estimated to use illegal software. Since November 1994, Thailand has been on the U.S. Special 301 “Watch List”.
