DECISION
YES. Section 155 of Republic Act No. 8293 identifies the acts constituting
trademark infringement. As can be gleaned in Section 155.1, mere unauthorized use of
a container bearing a registered trademark in connection with the sale, distribution or
advertising of goods or services which is likely to cause confusion, mistake or deception
among the buyers/consumers can be considered as trademark infringement.
