Description 67-81
This article considers the problem of sentencing disparity in Thailand which could have potential impact on criminal
cases of copyright and trademark infringement. At present, the Thai Courts rely on sentencing guidelines to prevent
sentencing disparity, but different Courts in different parts of Thailand have formulated and used different sentencing
guidelines, so the guidelines produced by different Courts have different standard of sentencing. This could result in a wide
disparity in the sentences that the Courts impose on the infringers who commit the same offence, so this article proposes that
the relevant provisions and the uniform national sentencing guideline like that of the US approach should be developed and
introduced into the Thai legal system, so that the judges overseeing the criminal cases in the Intellectual Property and
International Trade Courts, the Court of Appeal for Specialized Cases and the Supreme Court of Thailand could rely on such
provisions and uniform national sentencing guidelines to prevent sentencing disparity.
