SyCipLaw has authored the Philippine chapter of the World Trademark Review (WTR) Trademark Litigation Review 2026, a leading global resource on trademark dispute resolution and enforcement.

The chapter was written by Senior Partner and Head of Intellectual Property Department Anthony W. Dee, Partner Ma. Patricia B. Paz-Jacoba, and Senior Associates Leo Francis F. Abot and Joachim Alfonso P. Dompor, with support from Associates Angelique P. Leda and Jamsankin Persian D. Orteza.

The chapter provides a focused analysis of recent developments in Philippine trademark litigation and IPOPHL enforcement, highlighting reforms that are reshaping how rights holders protect and enforce their marks. It examines the practical impact of digital filing, electronic service, and online hearings, which have accelerated proceedings and improved access to interim remedies.

For businesses, these developments translate to clearer avenues for protection and more strategic options for prosecution and enforcement.

The WTR Trademark Litigation Review offers comparative analytical insights alongside practical perspectives from key jurisdictions across the Asia Pacific, the Americas, and Europe, Middle East, and Africa region, making it a valuable resource for companies handling cross-border trademark disputes and global brand protection strategies.
