Download or read book The Protection of Geographical Indications in China written by Xinzhe Song and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2021-11-23 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For some time now, there has been conflict concerning the role in the global marketplace of certain agricultural or handcrafted products of specific geographical origin: whether they should come under trademark law (as favoured by common law countries such as the United States) or under the geographical indications (GI) system developed in France and subsequently promoted by the European Union (EU). At this moment, China is in the eye of the storm. Taking fully into account the legislative and judicial gaps in China’s compromised embrace of the GI concept, this book shows how the Chinese case brings to prominence fundamental issues relating to the functional dissimilarity between trademarks and GIs, the treatment of the terroir concept, the role of GIs in rural development, and the challenges of adopting the French and European model in other countries, especially in East Asia. Providing detailed information on how GIs are registered, protected, and managed in China, France, and the EU, the book includes such practical analysis as the following: comparison between the Chinese and European GI systems to highlight differences in essential elements for GI registration and protection; mistakes and errors arising from forcing the GI function into trademark law; the increasingly larger scope of EU GI protection, protection of collective marks containing GIs, and the extension of GI protection to handicrafts; who is responsible for the protection of each registered name and who can sue for infringement; and legislative options for future GI protection in China. Recognizing not only that GIs protect consumers against fraud and producers against unfair competition but also that the goals include the preservation of rural development, cultural heritage, and traditional knowledge, as well as environmental and ecological protection, this book provides a comprehensive reference on legal tools available for policymakers, legal practitioners, researchers, and local producers concerned with GI or trademark issues in China, France, or the EU. It will prove greatly helpful to corporate lawyers filing international registration applications and taking legal action. It will also be of inestimable value to officials in a variety of countries that are considering developing or improving systems to enhance the value of terroir products, and to academics interested in intellectual property law, trademark law, agriculture policy, GI legislation, or World Trade Organization (WTO) rules.

Download or read book Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights written by Carlos Correa and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-07-23 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The TRIPS Agreement is the most comprehensive and influential international treaty on intellectual property rights. It brings intellectual property rules into the framework of the World Trade Organization, obliging all WTO Member States to meet minimum standards of intellectual property protection and enforcement. This has required massive changes in some national laws, particularly in developing countries. This volume provides a detailed legal analysis of the provisions of the TRIPS Agreement, as well as elements to consider their economic implications in different legal and socio-economic contexts. This book provides an in depth analysis of the principles and of the substantive and enforcement provisions of the TRIPS Agreement, the most influential international treaty on intellectual property currently in force. It discusses the legal context in which the Agreement was negotiated, the objectives of their proponents and the nature of the obligations it created for the members of the World Trade Organization. In particular, it examines the minimum standards that must be implemented with regard to patents, trademarks, industrial designs, geographical indications, copyright and related rights, integrated circuits, trade-secrets and test data for pharmaceutical and agrochemical products. Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights: A Commentary on the TRIPS Agreement elaborates on the interpretation of provisions contained in said Agreement, in the light of the customary principles for the interpretation of international law. The analysis -which is supported by a review of the relevant GATT and WTO jurisprudence- identifies the policy space left to such members to implement their obligations in accordance with their own legal systems and public policy objectives, including in respect of complex issues such as patentability criteria, compulsory licenses, exceptions and limitations to copyright, border measures, injunctive relief and the protection of test data under the discipline of unfair competition.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La loi ± relative à la protection des appellations d'origine ? date de 1919. La France consacrait ainsi un signe distinctif destiné à traduire juridiquement la notion de terroir et à devenir le plus célèbre ambassadeur de l'idée de qualité liée à l'origine. Fortes d'un succès leur ayant permis de dépasser le cadre national pour irriguer le droit de l'Union européenne, les appellations d'origine ne sauraient être isolées des indications géographiques, catégories plus générales mais fédératrices, tant au niveau interétatique que doctrinal. Quelle que soit leur forme, les indications géographiques doivent néanmoins être replacées dans un contexte éminemment fluctuant, et c'est ce qu'il s'agit ici de mettre en évidence.00À travers une démarche résolument comparatiste, juristes, économistes, historiens et praticiens du droit apportent dans cet ouvrage de précieux éclaircissements afin de mieux saisir le passé, le présent, ainsi que l'avenir de tels signes. Quelles soient prestigieuses ou moins connues, françaises ou étrangères, les indications géographiques restent toujours marquées par leur vocation historiquement qualifiante. Mais elles demeurent sources de conflits tant les intérêts des acteurs du marché sont divers, du producteur jusqu'au consommateur, en Europe comme ailleurs dans le monde.

Download or read book Intellectual Property Law in Switzerland written by François Dessemontet and published by Kluwer Law International B.V.. This book was released on 2022-11-20 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph provides a survey and analysis of the rules concerning intellectual property rights in Switzerland. It covers every type of intellectual property right in depth – copyright and neighbouring rights, patents, utility models, trademarks, trade names, industrial designs, plant variety protection, chip protection, trade secrets, and confidential information. Particular attention is paid throughout to recent developments and trends. The analysis approaches each right in terms of its sources in law and in legislation, and proceeds to such legal issues as subject matter of protection, conditions of protection, ownership, transfer of rights, licences, scope of exclusive rights, limitations, exemptions, duration of protection, infringement, available remedies, and overlapping with other intellectual property rights. The book provides a clear overview of intellectual property legislation and policy, and at the same time offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Switzerland will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative intellectual property law.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toute production agricole qui se respecte, loin de vouloir renier ses origines, souhaite identifier le lien entre la production et la région d’origine. En dehors de la provenance, c’est ainsi une garantie de qualité qui est offerte au consommateur. Il faut toutefois constater que les différentes classifications ne brillent pas par leur uniformité ou leur homogénéité. Renvoyons au secteur vinicole : rien qu’en France, chaque région a son propre classement, et, dans une même région, ses classements peuvent être différents. Identifier l’origine d’un produit ne se fait pas uniquement par des indications géographiques. La marque aussi renvoie à une origine de production. Mais les indications géographiques ou tout signe de provenance territorial donne au produit ce petit supplément d’âme qu’on ne peut expliquer, mais qui nous rattache à cette terre et nous donne le plaisir renouvelé de ‘re’connaître. L’intérêt de la protection de cette production qui se rattache à un terroir, à une région, à un pays, est indiscutable, car seule cette protection pourra également justifier des exigences de qualité qui ne peuvent que l’encourager et qui en permettront une commercialisation optimale. Pour le plus grand plaisir des hédonistes et tous ceux pour qui la nourriture n’est pas qu’une exigence biologique, mais aussi un bonheur existentiel. L’ouvrage intéresse les avocats, les magistrats, les cadres et dirigeants d’entreprise spécialisés dans le secteur alimentaire.
