4. What border measures are in place or planned to comply with Slovenia's obligations under Articles 51 to 60 of the TRIPS Agreement?
For counterfeit trademark goods the TRIPS Agreement may be directly applicable. However, it is planned that the new Law on Industrial Property which may be adopted in 1998 will explicitly contain provisions which would comply with all requirements of this Part of the TRIPS Agreement. In the area of copyright, two types of border measures are available to the right holder (Article 173 of the Copyright and Related Rights Act): (1) That the right holder or his agent may inspect such goods; (2) That such goods could be seized, their release into free circulation be suspended, and the goods be detained awaiting final decision by the competent authority.
