Microsoft v. New Fields: Counterfeit Software Case by Ei Bin is a document available to read on EtoBox.

The Supreme Court of the Philippines ruled that the trial court and Court of Appeals committed grave abuse of discretion by quashing the search warrants. While strict compliance with the three-day notice rule was not required, there was probable cause for issuing the warrants based on verification of a tip by police. The lower courts disregarded evidence that software with common identification numbers was installed on multiple computers, indicating unauthorized copies.
