Dear Member and Friends,

Baker McKenzie Thailand has the following legal alert for the Chambers on the New Threshold Value of Goods for DSI in IP Cases.

In 2011, the Board of Special Cases (“BSC”) of the Department of Special Investigation (“DSI”) empowered and expanded the DSI’s powers and duties to act against trademark infringement under the Trademark Act, copyright infringement under the Copyright Act, patent infringement under the Patent Act, and IP

infringement under the Customs Act as special cases by issuing Announcement of BSC. (No. 4) B.E. 2554 (2011) Re: Details of Offenses which are deemed Special Cases Pursuant to Section 21 Paragraph one (1) of the Special Case Investigation Act B.E. 2547 (2004) (“Announcement No. 4”).

Last week, on 5 February 2019, Announcement of BSC. (No. 7) B.E.2562 (2019) Re: Details of Offenses which are deemed Special Cases Pursuant to Section 21 Paragraph one (1) of the Special Case Investigation Act B.E. 2547 (2004) (“Announcement No. 7”) was published in the Government Gazette to replace and repeal Announcement No. 4, and became effective on 6 February 2019.
