Enforcement Of Decisions Of The Unified Patent Court - A Survey Of Participating Member States

139,13€ + 10% CARD

 The European patent litigation landscape has faced a reform through the launch of the Unified Patent Court (UPC) system. The UPC provides for a centralized system for litigating patents in participating member states. The purpose of the UPC is to harmonize and improve the enforcement of patents and the defence against unfounded claims and patents which should be revoked, and to enhance legal certainty for litigation relating to the infringement and validity of patents.At the end of the UPC proceedings, the UPC issues an enforceable court order, which must be enforced against a non-complying party. Such orders are directly enforceable in member states. This book provides practitioners with a view on the national enforcement proceedings for enforcing the orders issued by the UPC.This first edition of the book covers Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Finland, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Sweden. The chapters of the book follow the same outline, which makes this book easily accessible and allows comparisons between different jurisdictions.The twenty-one contributors to the book are all patent litigation experts with broad experience from their jurisdictions.This is the ninth volume in the AIPPI Law Series which has been established together with the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI), a non-affiliated, non-profit organization dedicated to improving and promoting the protection of intellectual property at both national and international levels.

Antibody Patenting - A Practitioner''S Guide To Drafting, Prosecution And Enforcement

209,35€ + 10% CARD

 Antibodies have revolutionized medicine and biotechnology, and have become indispensable tools in therapy, diagnostics, analytics, and research. Therapeutic antibodies, for example, have become firmly established in the ranks of blockbuster drugs, currently accounting for about half of the top 10 best-selling medicines. At the same time, a body of case law dealing specifically with the patentability of antibody-related inventions and the enforcement of antibody patents has emerged in major jurisdictions. The, at times, significant divergences between different jurisdictions have been compounded by recent decisions in the United States, which have severely curtailed the possibilities to obtain broad antibody patents. It is therefore essential to understand how antibody inventions are assessed in different jurisdictions in order to secure an optimal patent protection and to successfully enforce such patents.This book provides practitioners with a comprehensive resource elucidating all aspects of the patenting of antibodies from initial drafting and prosecution to enforcement, using a country-by-country format. The updated and expanded Second Edition covers more than 30 of the most important IP jurisdictions worldwide - i.e., the European Patent Office, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Canada, Mexico, the Andean Community (Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru), Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, India, Israel, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Australia, and New Zealand. The 49 contributors to this book, all distinguished experts in this field, provide clear and practice-oriented advice on a range of topics including: • Which types of antibody inventions are patent-eligible?• Which types of functional and structural features are accepted for claiming antibodies?• What needs to be considered when defining antibodies in terms of their antigen, target affinity, binding specificity, epitope, competitive binding and other characteristics in relation to reference antibodies, as well as their effects on the target?<p style="margin-left:14.2pt;mso-add-space:auto;text-align:justify;text-indent:-14.2pt;mso-list:l0 ...

Pharmaceutical Test Data Exclusivity - A Multi-Jurisdictional Survey

106,00€ + 10% CARD

 Data exclusivity gives pharmaceutical companies a limited period of time in which clinical test data are exclusive to the innovator.

Design Rights - Functionality And Scope Of Protection

233,20€ + 10% CARD

 Protection of industrial and other designs has developed as a distinct and important area of intellectual property law. This book, while providing a solid foundation on the law regarding the protection and enforcement of design rights, focuses on the ever-present, and always contentious, issue of functionality in the context of design rights. While there is considerable harmonization on the fundamental principle that design rights regard aesthetic appearance and not underlying technical function, courts and legislatures the world over have long struggled with determining whether to permit and how to interpret the scope of, designs rights directed at products whose appearance may, partially or completely, be the result of functional consideration. This detailed country-by-country analysis provides clarity, insight, and guidance on the legal issues and practical implications of functionality in key jurisdictions worldwide. This book was developed within the framework of the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI), a nonaffiliated, nonprofit organization dedicated to improving and promoting the protection of intellectual property at both national and international levels.The authors of the country chapters have been carefully selected based on their extensive experience and in-depth knowledge about design protection in their respective jurisdictions. Each chapter considers such issues and topics as the following:<ul><li>availability of protection—granting authority, statutory requirements, drawing requirements, and disclaimers;</li><li>tests or approaches applied to determine whether a design right is ineligible for protection based on functionality grounds, including related policy considerations;</li><li>strategies employed to mount, and fend off, challenges to design rights based on functionality;</li><li>determination of a design right’s scope of protection, including the impact of any visual elements of the overall design having appearances that are nonnovel and/or functional;</li><li>tests or approaches applied to determine whether a visual element of a design right is excluded from the overall scope of protection based on functionality grounds, including related policy considerations; and</li><li>examples of how visual elements of a design right whose appearance is driven by function are treated in infringement and validity contexts.</li></ul>Each chapter includes case law examples, hypothetical fact patterns, and graphic images of designs to bring issues to life. An introductory chapter covers the basic tenets of design rights, terminology, and discussion of design rights in relation to other areas of intellectual property.As a comparative law study and a collection of contributions from around the world on an important and controversial field, this book proves to be of tremendous practical interest for the industry involved and for the public. Applicants for design protection, parties involved in or contemplating enforcement proceedings, and interested legal practitioners will benefit greatly from its thorough comparative analysis and guidance. It is also exceptionally valuable as a matchless and thorough resource for academics and researchers interested in the international harmonization of intellectual property law.

Law Of Raw Data

215,98€ + 10% CARD

 Data, in its raw or unstructured form, has become an important and valuable economic asset, lending it the sobriquet of ‘the oil of the twenty-first century’. Clearly, as intellectual property, raw data must be legally defined if not somehow protected to ensure that its access and re-use can be subject to legal relations. As legislators struggle to develop a settled legal regime in this complex area, this indispensable handbook will offer a careful and dedicated analysis of the legal instruments and remedies, both existing and potential, that provide such protection across a wide variety of national legal systems. Produced under the auspices of the International Association for the Protection of International Property (AIPPI), more than forty of the association’s specialists from twenty-three countries worldwide contribute national chapters on the relevant law in their respective jurisdictions. The contributions thoroughly explain how each country approaches such crucial matters as the following: <ul> <li>if there is any intellectual property right available to protect raw data;</li> <li>the nature of such intellectual property rights that exist in unstructured data;</li> <li>contracts on data and which legal boundaries stand in the way of contract drafting;</li> <li>liability for data products or services; and</li> <li>questions of international private law and cross-border portability.</li> </ul> Each country’s rules concerning specific forms of data - such as data embedded in household appliances and consumer goods, criminal offence data, data relating to human genetics, tax and bank secrecy, medical records, and clinical trial data - are described, drawing on legislation, regulation, and case law. A matchless legal resource on one of the most important raw materials of the twenty-first century, this book provides corporate counsel, practitioners and policymakers working in the field of intellectual property rights, and concerned academics with both a broad-based global overview on emerging legal strategies in the protection of unstructured data and the latest information on existing legislation and regulation in the area.

Genuine Use Of Trademarks

223,93€ + 10% CARD

 This book addresses the issue of trademark use that may be required for the protection and/or maintenance of trademark rights. Since the first edition of this book in 2018, there have been significant modifications in some countries, particularly, following the implementation of EU Directive 2015/2436 in the EU countries. Laws around the world do not attach the same consequence to the lack of use of a trademark, and courts do not always assess in the same way whether a trademark is genuinely used. This is a fundamental issue for trademark owners since, depending on the jurisdiction, lack of genuine use can lead to the refusal of trademark registration, the revocation of trademark rights, or prevent the owner of a non-used trademark from initiating an action based on its trademark. This detailed analysis provides clarity, insight, and guidance on the legal issues and practical implications of genuine use of trademarks in twenty-six jurisdictions worldwide. This book was developed within the framework of the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI), a non-affiliated, non-profit organization dedicated to improving and promoting the protection of intellectual property at both national and international levels. This topic was the subject of an AIPPI study, and its subsequent Resolution - The Requirements of Genuine Use of Trademarks for Maintaining Protection (2011, Hyderabad) - which aims to harmonize this issue of genuine use of trademarks. The authors of the chapters for each jurisdiction were carefully selected based on their extensive experience and in-depth knowledge of trademark protection in their respective jurisdictions. Each chapter considers issues and topics such as the following: <ul> <li>types of use that qualify as genuine use of a trademark, including requirements as to whether uses are consistent with the function of the trademark or made in the course of trade;</li> <li>requirements as to the volume, duration, and frequency of use;</li> <li>impact of the trademark’s designation of goods and services;</li> <li>issues relating to the sign used, particularly, if it is used in a different form from the registered trademark (this includes consideration of alteration of the distinctive character, or the potential impact of a plurality of registered trademarks for different signs, or the question of use in black and white or in colour);</li> <li>proof to be provided to evidence genuine use as a trademark, including issues of timing and territory;</li> <li>situations in which the issue of genuine use can be of importance;</li> <li>valid reasons for non-use;</li> <li>consequences of lack of use depending on the context, including possible revocation of trademark rights; and</li> <li>case law examples.</li> </ul> As a comparative law study and a collection of contributions from around the world on a key issue of trademark law, this book is of tremendous practical interest. Trademark owners, parties involved in or contemplating enforcement proceedings, and interested legal practitioners will benefit greatly from its thorough comparative analysis and guidance. It is also exceptionally valuable as a comprehensive resource for academics and researchers interested in the international harmonization of trademark law.
