Agrofarma ( ASSOCIAZIONE NAZIONALE IMPRESE AGROFARMACI) è impegnata dal 2005 in una campagna contro l'utilizzo di agrofarmaci illegali infatti l'utilizzo di questi prodotti è estremamente pericoloso per la salute umana e per l'ambiente.&lt;br /&gt;Il fenomeno della contraffazione non risparmia neanche il settore dei prodotti per la salute animale infatti rappresenta il &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;3-5% delle specialità farmaceutiche per animali&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="margin-bottom: 0cm; text-align: justify; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;La contraffazione è sempre esistita, ha una storia lunghissima e rappresenta un problema ricorrente ma è con la globalizzazione che ha raggiunto dimensioni inimmaginabili.&lt;br /&gt;L'errore di considerarla un'infrazione minore le ha permesso di guadagnarsi una fetta di mercato che oggi si assesta sul 5-7% del commercio mondiale. I traffici da essa generati stanno diventando una seria minaccia non solo per l'economia mondiale, ma anche per lo sviluppo a lungo termine; questi traffici rappresentano inoltre uno dei nuovi campi d'interesse oltre che dei contraffattori, della criminalità organizzata e del terrorismo internazionale.&lt;br /&gt;La contraffazione mette in pericolo la sicurezza dei consumatori ed influisce notevolmente sulle performance delle aziende e dell'indotto economico industriale con inevitabili conseguenze sui posti di lavoro  perciò ogni piccolo passo o azione inteso a prendere coscienza di questo fatto e ad ad arginare il fenomeno è degno di nota.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24586751-5597531023622028529?l=ice-ip.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ice-ip.blogspot.com/feeds/5597531023622028529/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=24586751&amp;postID=5597531023622028529' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24586751/posts/default/5597531023622028529'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24586751/posts/default/5597531023622028529'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ice-ip.blogspot.com/2009/12/quando-un-nemico-comune-esige-un-lavoro.html' title='Quando un nemico comune esige un lavoro di squadra...'/><author><name>Eleonora Fia</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10953777337908380457</uri><email>fiaeleonora@hotmail.it</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='03699322486768871598'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VPeAN5GPl4g/SxrCOv0OOAI/AAAAAAAAAP0/3mUE2H7Gv0g/s72-c/Logo+Carabinieri.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24586751.post-3530524833869757566</id><published>2009-12-01T12:36:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-01T12:56:10.961+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='mauro turrini'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='milano'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='tribunale'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='made in italy'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ferrari'/><title type='text'>Economia nostrana</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);

&lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Il giudice ha, altresì,  ritenuto che l’uso del colore rosso, quando effettuato unitamente  ad altri elementi caratterizzanti il marchio Ferrari (segnatamente,  scudetto e cavallino), costituisce violazione dei diritti della casa  di Maranello sotto i diversi profili della contraffazione di marchio,  dei segni distintivi non registrati, della concorrenza sleale (sotto  diversi profili), indipendentemente dalla sfumatura di rosso utilizzata  dalle società concorrenti.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Questa decisione assume  ancor più rilievo se si pensa che gli introiti derivanti dallo sfruttamento  del marchio del cavallino sembrerebbero ammonterebbero a circa 1,5 miliardi  di dollari.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold;" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Il progetto di legge  Reguzzoni-Versace-Calearo, che è destinato a suscitare le reazioni  delle grandi case che producono all’estero sulla base di design italiano,  cerca di valorizzare le produzioni “effettivamente italiane”, ossia  quelle i cui prodotti sono realizzati in modo preponderante nella nostra  penisola. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Il progetto di legge,  che prevede l’etichettatura obbligatoria di prodotti tessili, calzaturieri  e di pelletteria, prevede l’uso del marchio Made in Italy, quindi,  solo per i soli prodotti la cui lavorazione sia stata realizzata in  buona parte in Italia. Resterebbero, pertanto, come detto, esclusi tutti  prodotti “italiani” per ispirazione (design) ma realizzati altrove.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);" align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Il progetto di legge  prevede, infine, l’introduzione nei settori predetti di un sistema&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:fpyXMlFAGB-h8M:http://scheggedivetro.blogosfere.it/images/Made%20in%20Italy-thumb.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 124px; height: 86px;" src="http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:fpyXMlFAGB-h8M:http://scheggedivetro.blogosfere.it/images/Made%20in%20Italy-thumb.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;  di etichettatura obbligatoria, per prodotti finiti ed intermedi, allo  scopo di garantirne origine e tracciabilità. Quanto predetto, che cerca  evidentemente di venire incontro alle esigenze delle PMI artigiane italiane  (come affermato dallo stesso relatore del provvedimento, Enzo Raisi  – Pdl), si pone in linea, altresì, con il principio della tracciabilità  del prodotto indicato dalla stessa UE. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24586751-3530524833869757566?l=ice-ip.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ice-ip.blogspot.com/feeds/3530524833869757566/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=24586751&amp;postID=3530524833869757566' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24586751/posts/default/3530524833869757566'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24586751/posts/default/3530524833869757566'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ice-ip.blogspot.com/2009/12/economia-nostrana.html' title='Economia nostrana'/><author><name>Andrea Cicogna</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01753243577452394535</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='10400656773323617155'/></author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24586751.post-706998083666880731</id><published>2009-11-30T20:28:00.011+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-30T21:09:39.916+01:00</updated><title type='text'>“Strumenti competitivi nel mercato italiano e comunitario”</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-style: italic;

all’hotel Melia di Alicante, dove eravamo alloggiati in occasione del Symposium dei Giudici. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Non avrei mai immaginato &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;

queste sarebbero state le ultime parole che avrei ascoltato dalla Sua viva voce. Ora che non c'è più, non mancherà chi Lo ricorderà come uno dei più brillanti protagonisti del mondo della Proprietà Intellettuale. Da parte mia mi sento privato di uno dei miei riferimenti.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Con Damaso non posso dire che sia intercorsa una vera&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; amicizia, ma certo ci siamo andati molto vicini. Il fatto è che nei nostri incontri e rare frequentazioni , non parlavamo mai di diritto, ma di arte, musica, filosofia, o altro  e questo grazie ad una Sua  naturale disponibilità, aiutato in ciò  dalla Sua genuina ispanicità, e spontanea propensione verso tutto quello che rappresenta la cultura in senso lato e che traspariva sempre nelle Sue magistrali ‘opinion’ come Avvocato Generale della Corte di Giustizia, dove era stato prima ancora  giudice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Il diritto, anche quello dei marchi, era il campo sperimentale del Suo spirito di osservazione. Sapeva, nella soluzione dei problemi, guardare lontano e prima degli altri. Entrammo subito in sintonia elettiva, sin dai primi incontri di oltre dieci anni fa e per questo  non rinunciavo mai al piacere di una Sua elegante conversazione extra moenia. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Ora non sarà più possibile.

, &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,204,0)"&gt;dismissed the action, being had proved by Deere &amp;amp; Company –according to the court - that the disputed mark had become distinctive within the terms of Article 7(3) of Regulation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The court is very care on the analysis of the evidence submitted by the defendant in supporting the acquiring distinctiveness of the sign, &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,153,0)"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;notwithstanding that in the subject area the perception of the relevant public could be mainly focusing the company name and logo imprinted on the trucks.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The judgment makes a clear application of the criteria and standard on Article 7, 3 of the Regulation, since CHIEMSEE. &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,153,0)"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;It seems, however, it has been missed the legal key point, as to say what is the impact of the nature of the sign, a combination of colours, on the association process enabling the relevant public to identify the commercial origin of the goods bearing that combination of colours.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)"&gt;This issue has nothing to do with a more restrict attitude in assessing the acquired distinctiveness of the sign because of its composition&lt;/span&gt; (see paragraph 28).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To the contrary one has to keep in mind the teaching of &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;the Court of Justice&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to the extent that &lt;span style="COLOR: rgb(255,0,0)"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;“while the public is accustomed to perceiving word or figurative marks instantly as signs identifying the commercial origin of the goods, the same is not necessarily true where the sign forms part of the look of the goods in respect of which registration of the sign as a trade mark is sought. Consumers are not in the habit of making assumptions about the origin of goods based on their colour or the colour of their packaging, in the absence of any graphic or word element, because as a rule a colour per se (or a combination of colours) is not, in current commercial practice, used as a means of identification.”(LIBERTEL case).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;In this respect, there is no in the judgement a mention whatsoever as to whether the contested decision carried out an investigation on how the relevant public might associate a colour in the subject case to the origin of the concerned products. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24586751-6133802048823231918?l=ice-ip.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ice-ip.blogspot.com/feeds/6133802048823231918/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=24586751&amp;postID=6133802048823231918' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24586751/posts/default/6133802048823231918'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24586751/posts/default/6133802048823231918'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ice-ip.blogspot.com/2009/11/do-you-ever-buy-tractor-at-trade-fair.html' title='Do you ever buy a tractor at a trade fair  because of the colour you have selected?'/><author><name>Fabio Cammarata Pignato</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16121985644143285107</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06274060369545103324'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QSeBAE9jcHc/SvG9vm7VoAI/AAAAAAAAADE/w6nxKWKrpV0/s72-c/colori.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24586751.post-2294820276582653478</id><published>2009-11-03T10:59:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-03T13:25:33.043+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stefano sandri'/><title type='text'>A ‘panoramic’ view of descriptic character</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);

color: rgb(0, 153, 0);"&gt;n this respect the Court is very careful in pointing out that for the purpose of applying Article 7(1)(c) of Regulation it is necessary only to consider, on the basis of the relevant meaning of the word sign at issue, that  from the viewpoint of the public addressed, there is a sufficiently &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);

font-weight: bold;"&gt;I fear that the analysis of the court should be a little more deeper when examining how the sign is actually perceived by the relevant public (paragraph 28). Since the likelihood of confusion includes also the likelihood of association, it makes still&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;" lang="en-GB"&gt; sense exclude from the registration the signs which can cause such an association?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p  style="background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; margin-right: 0.03cm; margin-bottom: 0cm; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial; color: rgb(255, 153, 0); font-weight: bold; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" align="justify"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span lang="en-GB"&gt;I understand that in some case is not easy to decide whether the association occurs in suggestive/evocative  signs.

However, what about the end-consumers? Do they are reasonably well informed, observant and circumspect as to understand the significant of the mentioned acronym?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;I don’t think so.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; This is one of the many questions, doubts and incertitude lately raised by the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;CFI, T- T‑80/08, 28 October 2009, CureVac GmbH v. Qiagen GmbH&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;where the problem faced was to decide whether the trade marks RNAiF and RNActive were confusingly similar, or not, in relation to more or less identical/similar products&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chemical and pharmaceuticals marks came once again at the attention of the court&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and they risk to be converted in a crucial and puzzling legal problem. This judgement does not go out of a sort of contradiction and dangerous omission. &lt;a style="" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QSeBAE9jcHc/SvCipdvzZ_I/AAAAAAAAACU/66lByexujn0/s1600-h/RNA.gif"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; width: 169px; float: right; height: 310px;" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5399994786460690418" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QSeBAE9jcHc/SvCipdvzZ_I/AAAAAAAAACU/66lByexujn0/s200/RNA.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Chemicals – say the decision - are aimed at a specialised public&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (in particular, chemists and laboratory personnel). &lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Also end consumers, nevertheless, have a high level of attention in this case, and are assisted in their choice by highly qualified professionals&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (paragraph 29). Fine, &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;that means that both the public should recognize the mere descriptive meaning of the first part of the two marks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;It follows that, according to the court, the attention must focused on the second one, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;‘ifect’ respectively, and ‘ctive’. Are these terms&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, although seen in the perspective of a global assessment – which belongs to the accuracy of the decisional iter - and impression - which has to do with the perception of the consumers – are &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;dissimilar&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; (notwithstanding the identity/quasi identity of the products, the primacy of the first part of the marks, the identical graphic predominance of RNA) &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);"&gt;The analysis of the CFI seems to make abstraction of the relevant and pertinent circumstances in this case represented by the assessment as to how the products reach the market.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;Accordingly it seems to me quite marginal and not realistic to overestimate the criteria of the phonetic and visual effect&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (paragraph 38 to 42), &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;since the nature of the products in question remits in first instance to the semantic value of the two signs in their global meaning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;The public, at which the products aim, are educated people who will consider the meaning of ‘ifect’ and ‘ctive’ equivalent ( because ‘ the two terms refer to the notion of effectiveness or the word ‘effective’&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;, as pointed out by the appellant), a presumption which is not contradicted by the sophisticated distinction in the German language, paragraph 44). &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Finally, the assumption that the notion of effectiveness or the word ‘effective’ ‘requires the consumer in question to deconstruct the sign too much in order to make an association between the two signs at issue&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;, and thus seems too improbable to be accepted’ (same paragraph 44; pls note that the argument is the mere one presented by the court) &lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;is clearly wrong in the light of the communication rules to the extent they are applicable to the trade mark, intended and acknowledged as a communication tool&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;It is indeed well known scientifically that in any language transmission the sign must firstly be decoded (deconstruct), and subsequently coded, pursuant a psychologic process governed by perception system where the receptor of the sign does not exercise any (rational) effort&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; (for a full demonstration see my work . ‘Percepire il marchio’ , 2006).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24586751-3172413766575279611?l=ice-ip.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://ice-ip.blogspot.com/feeds/3172413766575279611/comments/default' title='Commenti sul post'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=24586751&amp;postID=3172413766575279611' title='0 Commenti'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24586751/posts/default/3172413766575279611'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24586751/posts/default/3172413766575279611'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://ice-ip.blogspot.com/2009/11/ribonucleid-acid-difficult-expression.html' title='‘Ribonucleid acid’: a difficult expression and a difficult case'/><author><name>Fabio Cammarata Pignato</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16121985644143285107</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='06274060369545103324'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QSeBAE9jcHc/SvCipdvzZ_I/AAAAAAAAACU/66lByexujn0/s72-c/RNA.gif' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24586751.post-258924840048391029</id><published>2009-10-30T13:54:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-03T15:35:22.359+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='INPI'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Portogallo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Proprietà Industriale'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Codice'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Fabio Cammarata Pignato'/><title type='text'>Le recenti modifiche al Codice Portoghese della Proprietà Industriale</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0);font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;Fabio Cammarata Pignato&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Le &lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;modifiche al Codice Portoghese della Proprietà Industriale&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

According to Valentino Rossi's lawyers, &lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 204, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;the Fair has to stop using the number 46&lt;/span&gt; - the number used by Valentino Rossi - notwithstanding &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"&gt;this year's Truffle Fair is the 46th edition&lt;/span&gt; organized in Sant'Angelo in Vado.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span class="testoArticoloG"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span class="testoArticoloG"&gt; It is clear that the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"&gt;yello&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span class="testoArticoloG"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"&gt;w logo&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"&gt;used to promote the Fair&lt;/span&gt; is considered by Dr. R&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2Ue3rHDC0Kc/StS-JCZ4OoI/AAAAAAAAARQ/KV4bfX3RbJg/s1600-h/image002.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 288px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_2Ue3rHDC0Kc/StS-JCZ4OoI/AAAAAAAAARQ/KV4bfX3RbJg/s320/image002.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392143716342839938" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span class="testoArticoloG"&gt;ossi &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;too similar to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;span class="testoArticoloG"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 102, 204);"&gt;his registered mark&lt;/span&gt;, so that he asked the town to change the edition of the Fair.

Of course &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;it would get registered&lt;/span&gt; (no substantive examination, of course). &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Now, a third party decided to manufacture and sell another similar lamp. &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 153, 51);"&gt;Could our CD’s holder sue and prevail or would the third party have a valid defense by saying that the CD lacks “individual character” because the design at issue (not the lamp…) is basically a knock off of the Quicktime logo?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The CD Regulation in fact says that  “a Community design should not be upheld unless the design is new and unless it also possesses an individual character in comparison with other designs” (19&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; whereas) and art. 6 embodies the principle, so that  “&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(0, 153, 0); font-weight: bold;"&gt;a design shall be considered to have individual character if the overall impression it produces on the informed user differs from the overall impression produced on such a user by any design which has been made available to the public&lt;/span&gt;”. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I will not enter the who-the-informed-user-is argument although it may have a bearing. About it another time. The  issue here is the degree of horizontal disclosure (as opposed to vertical, which, in my mind, is the succession in time of designs in a particular field –even though it’s far by certain that say a design of a Greek tunic might not have individual character today…), which is how to assess the &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"&gt;prior existence of a similar /identical design but in a totally unrelated field or even in one of the many faceted&lt;/span&gt;, ever surprising and ever fascinating designs which nature so abundantly and generously offers to us, that may destroy the individual character of a design. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Apparently the answer should be found in art. 7, which says that a design shall be deemed to have been made available to the public if it has been published following registration or otherwise, or exhibited, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 0, 204);"&gt;used in trade or otherwise disclosed&lt;/span&gt;, except where these events could not reasonably have become known in the normal course of business to the circles specialised in the sector concerned, operating within the Community”.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The key words to which a CD holder defending from an invalidity action would make recourse are “&lt;i style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 153, 153);"&gt;except where these events could not reasonably have become known in the normal course of business to the circles specialised in the sector concerned, operating within the Community&lt;/i&gt;”.  But what is the sector concerned? That of lamps or that of computer geeks? The question is deceptively simple and the readily “rational” answer falls short of its legal consequences. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Indeed, if the sector concerned is that of lamps, why is that a CD affords protection to the owner thereof irrespective of the good to which the design is applied? &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;A design which protect lamps, protects as well as patterns for a new line of upholstery&lt;/span&gt; (geeks being geeks and sometimes nerds, who may discard such a possibility?) &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 153, 0);"&gt;and graphical signs which may serve as trademarks&lt;/span&gt;. So, can the reverse happen? If it can (and yes IT can) would the sector concerned then also encompass lamps?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;  &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p  style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); text-align: justify; font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-US"  style="font-size:85%;"&gt;I think it does, and so in my view, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(204, 51, 204);"&gt;the rationale of protection defines the horizontal disclosure which, honestly suits me fine&lt;/span&gt;. A robust re-definition and restriction of IP rights is seriously needed. The endless multiplication in time, size and scope of IP rights is no longer a stimulus or incentive to innovation, but rather restraint of trade, a dangerous (relatively free and inexpensive) pass to monopolistic instincts and a recipe to economical regress.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;
