11. Article 47 provides that WTO Members may authorize judges to order infringers to identify for right holders third parties involved in the production and distribution of infringing goods or services and their channels of distribution. In IP/N/6/SVN/1, the Government of Slovenia explains the manner in which a right holder may demand that persons involved in copyright infringement provide information and documents. Please describe any authority judges have under the laws of Slovenia to order infringers to identify for right holders those third parties involved in the production and distribution of infringing goods or services and their channels of distribution and describe the circumstances in which this authority would be exercised. Please describe any similar authority in connection with other forms of intellectual property.

There is the same court as indicated in Slovenia's responses to the Checklist of Issues on Enforcement, i.e. the Circuit Court of Ljubljana which has the authority to act in accordance with the provisions of Article 47 of the TRIPS Agreement. Until the provisions of this Article become part of the new Law on Industrial Property, Article 47 of the TRIPS Agreement may be directly applied.
