The Law Firm of E.B. Astudillo & Associates considers intellectual property rights enforcement as a major advocacy. Its role as an advocate of intellectual property rights protection in the Philippines is one of its pillars and strength. The Firm's services in intellectual property rights enforcement include the preparation of opinions on the necessity of enforcement actions, the formulation and planning of enforcement strategies, prosecution or defense of patent infringement lawsuits, trademark infringement lawsuits, copyright infringement lawsuits, and actions involving unfair competition, misappropriation of trade secrets, contracts, franchising and other disputes involving intellectual property and technology assets.

The Law Firm of E.B Astudillo & Associates directly involves itself in the actual process of intellectual property rights enforcement, including the filing of search warrant applications with Philippine courts and attendance at hearings held pursuant thereto, coordination with private investigators and government enforcement agencies like the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Philippine National Police (PNP), participation in the actual conduct of raid actions, and the subsequent filing of civil and criminal complaints with Philippine courts or agencies. The lawyers of the Firm practice regularly before the Regional Trial Court (RTC), Court of Appeals (CA), and the Supreme Court (SC) of the Philippines for criminal and civil actions as well as the Bureau of Legal Affairs (BLA) of the Intellectual Property Office (IPO), Bureau of Food and Drugs (BFAD), and the Bureau of Customs (BOC) for administrative actions. We are forever mindful of our twin role of successfully obtaining intellectual property rights for our clients and aggressively protecting them from pirates, counterfeiters and violators.

The Law Firm of E.B. Astudillo & Associates works closely with highly specialized private investigators like IP Manila Associates (IP Manila), Spectrum OSO Asia and Orion Support Incorporated (OSI), and government enforcement agencies like the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Philippine National Police-Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG).

The Firm also helps strengthen the protection of its clients' intellectual property rights by effecting the registration of its clients' intellectual property with the Bureau of Customs of the Philippines as a form of border control. This provides added protection to the clients' intellectual property rights and minimizes, if not eliminates, the importation into the Philippines of counerfeit and/or pirated goods.
