ABSTRACT
The remedies available for infringement of intellectual property rights (IPR) have developed over the centuries. There is now a whole range of remedies, some of which may be claimed together while others are mutually exclusive. There are even some remedies that may be available against a person threatening to bring legal proceedings for infringement. Some measures are interim measures, designed to put an immediate stop to an alleged infringing action, but sometimes it may be just to maintain the status quo pending a full trial of the issues. Bear in mind that it may take several months or even a number of years before a case comes to court for final determination.
