Copyright and trade-mark owners whose IP is infringed may seek a
variety of remedies against the perpetrators, including damages,
injunctive relief and legal costs. Psychologically though,

take possession of them. In this post, we survey destruction and
delivery up orders granted and denied in 2019. Overall, the

want."
