    Leviton International sued Leviton Industries for unfair competition, alleging that Leviton Industries used Leviton International's trademark for its products. The High Court ruled that while the Intellectual Property Code no longer requires foreign corporations to be registered trademark holders in the Philippines, complaints for unfair competition should still allege the conditions precedent established in the Revised Administrative Code, including that the foreign corporation owns or uses the trademark and principles of comity. The Court affirmed this ruling based on a policy of stabilizing commercial transactions completed entirely outside the Philippines.
