Indecopi Confirms Sanctions: Ripley Must Deliver TV and Importer Loses 1,999 Infringing Consoles

The agency used its final administrative power to impose corrective delivery orders, fines and permanent seizures to defend consumer expectations and trademark rights.

Overview

  • Indecopi’s Regional Commission in Puno confirmed on July 17, 2026 that Ripley improperly cancelled a valid online purchase of a Samsung QLED 55" TV and imposed an amonestación plus an immediate order to deliver the TV at the original price.
  • Ripley admitted responsibility during the administrative procedure by allanarse to the complaint, and the agency required the company to complete the sale after the buyer pays the agreed S/329.
  • The Sala Especializada en Propiedad Intelectual confirmed on the same day a 10.01 UIT fine (S/55,055) and the definitive seizure of 1,999 miniconsolas imported by Aries D & M for reproducing Nintendo’s Super Mario sign and creating a risk of consumer confusion.
  • Both rulings are final within Indecopi’s administrative system, showing the agency can combine corrective remedies for harmed consumers with monetary penalties and permanent decomiso to stop infringing goods from entering the market.
  • The decisions reinforce close oversight of online retailers and import channels, and consumers should expect stricter enforcement and faster remedies when purchases are cancelled or when goods enter the country using protected trademarks.
