Moyens de faire respecter les DPI

3. Are there any ways other than the application stipulated in Articles 51 and 52 of the TRIPS Agreement (hereafter referred to as "the Application") which enable a right holder to request the competent authorities to suspend the release of the goods which infringe intellectual property rights or which are suspected to infringe intellectual property rights?

As indicated in Sweden's response to question 5 of the Checklist of Issues on Enforcement there are provisions in the various intellectual property acts which relate to the destruction and disposal, etc. of infringing material according to decisions by the Courts in infringement cases. Those decisions may also involve seizure, also on a preliminary basis, of such infringing material.
