English translation of the principle
Law 64 of 1999 concerning Intellectual Property Rights contains no restriction on the Public Prosecution’s freedom to initiate criminal proceedings. - The plea that the proceedings are inadmissible because they were instituted without a request from the competent minister. Manifestly invalid. Disregarding it does not vitiate the judgment.
