Statement of IPOPHL on the USTR Notorious Markets Report: Greenhills Shopping Center

February 2, 2024

IPOPHL continues to work with the National Committee on Intellectual Property Rights (NCIPR) in fulfilling the work plan Overhaul Greenhills Project (OG Project) to eliminate stores selling counterfeit and other IP-infringing goods  in  the Greenhills Shopping Center.

We will continue to work with rights holders, San Juan local government and the Greenhills management on seizures, issuance of warning letters and updates on the development of the shopping center into a high-end mall.

As the lone Philippine market in the watch list, Greenhills remains a priority in IPOPHL and NCIPR’s mission to clear the markets of counterfeit and other intellectual property (IP) infringing goods. Selling counterfeit goods is a crime that harms the reputation of a legitimate business, dampens investor trust and evades taxes beholden to the Filipino people.

IPOPHL urges all sellers to uphold legitimate trade and support the sale of locally-made products to create a safe IP-driven economy where local businesses can flourish.
