without the consent of the right holder or person duly authorized by the

"art.8: 1. Each Party shall provide that, in civil judicial proceedings concerning the
enforcement of intellectual property rights, its judicial authorities have the authority to
issue an order against a party to desist from an infringement, and inter alia, an order to
that party or, where appropriate, to a third party over whom the relevant judicial
authority exercises jurisdiction, to prevent goods that involve the infringement of an
intellectual property right from entering into the channels of commerce. "
"Art. 9.: 1. Each Party shall provide that, in civil judicial proceedings concerning the
enforcement of intellectual property rights, its judicial authorities have the authority to
order the infringer who, knowingly or with reasonable grounds to know, engaged in
infringing activity to pay the right holder damages adequate to compensate for the
injury the right holder has suffered as a result of the infringement. In determining the
amount of damages for infringement of intellectual property rights, a Party’s judicial
authorities shall have the authority to consider, inter alia, any legitimate measure of
value the right holder submits, which may include lost profits, the value of the infringed
goods or services measured by the market price, or the suggested retail price.
2. At least in cases of copyright or related rights infringement and trademark
counterfeiting, each Party shall provide that, in civil judicial proceedings, its judicial
authorities have the authority to order the infringer to pay the right holder the infringer’s
profits that are attributable to the infringement. A Party may presume those profits to
be the amount of damages referred to in paragraph 1. "
