SUMMARY FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS (LAW-32306)

Lecture 2: Introduction to Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs)

Introduction to IPRs

 What is Law?
 What are IPRs, history?
 Some main treaties and organisations
 The various IPRs

What is Law?

= the rules and regulations established and enforced by the government of a society to control the
behaviour of the people/entities in that society.

 Laws generally reflect/promote societal values
 Must not be “fair” or “good”  it must be something objective, law is integrated in society
 Rules should be known in advance
 Rules should be created democratically
 Can be written and unwritten
 Nobody is above the law

Different types of law – domestic level

 Federal law
o Applies to everyone within a country  E.g. Dutch law
o Relates to nation-wide issues, e.g. environment, public health, labor relations, civil
rights
 State law
o Applies to people who live/work in particular state
o Relates to state-wide issues, e.g. education, transportation, state taxes, marriage
 Local law
o Applies to people in particular counties, cities, municipalities, towns, townships and
villages
o Relates to local issues, e.g. land use, parking, schools

Different types of law – international level

 International law
o Set of rules, norms, and standards that are binding between sovereign states and
other entities legally recognized as international actors
o Relates to diverse range of topics, e.g. war, diplomacy, economic relations and human
rights
o International vs. universal law
o Difference to domestic law:
 Primarily binding between states, rather than individuals
 Operates largely through consent
 Regional international law
o Set of rules, norms, and standards developed and applied in specific regional area
among a group of nations
o EU specialty: Directives and Regulations

, World Trade Organization (WTO) Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of
Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS-Agreement),
1994
European Union Directive 98/44/EC of the European Parliament
and the Council of 6 July 1998 on the legal
protection of biotechnological inventions
German Biopatentgesetz (Act implementing the
Biotechnology Directive), 2004

Legal personality

 Natural person
o Person with their own legal personality, who has rights and responsibilities and can
engage in various legal activities
 Legal Person
o Entities that the law recognizes as having legal rights and duties. Examples include
corporations, government bodies, and organizations. They can own property, enter
contracts, and sue or be sued
 To apply for an IPR you have to have a certain legal personality, that’s why this differentiation
is important

Public vs. private law

Aspect Public law Private law
Nature of Involves relationship between state Concerned with relationship between
relationship and individuals/ entities private individuals or entities
Parties Typically government or its agencies Private individuals, organizations, or
involved are one of the parties entities are the parties involved
Objective Primarily public interest, maintaining Primarily resolving disputes between
order, and protecting the rights of private parties and compensating
individuals in society individuals wrongs
Enforcement Government enforces public laws Private parties must initiate legal action,
(e.g. criminal sanction, e.g. civil lawsuits
administrative action)
Balance of Implies hierarchal relationship Implies more equal relationship between
power between state and individual private parties; state serves as neutral
arbiter
Examples Constitutional law, administrative Contract law, tort law, property law, family
lam criminal law, tax law, and law, and business law
environmental law
 Public law: relates to the system as a whole
 Private law: relates to all the natural and legal people within the system
 IPRs fall into private law because they deal with the relations between natural and legal
persons (legal person = entity, corporation etc.)

Knowledge is a Public Good

Public Good has two characteristics:

 Non-rivalrous: The consumption of the good by one individual does not reduce the
availability of the good for consumption by others;
 Non-excludable: Others may not easily be stopped from consuming the product

,Pure Public Good = for example the air we breath

We live in knowledge economy = Knowledge is power

 Knowledge is scarce
 Knowledge has value
 Shared knowledge = reduced value

Balancing disclosure with exclusivity

 It is in the interest of society that knowledge is shared (e.g. in order to advance science)
 It is in the interest of society that knowledge is protected (e.g. in order to stimulate
investments in research and product development)  IPRs

What is Intellectual Property?

 “Intellectual Property (IP) refers to creations of the mind: inventions, literary and artistic
works, and symbols, names, images, and designs used in commerce” (WIPO)
 What are the two oldest ways in which people have tried to protect their Intellectual
Property?  Keep it a (trade)secret!

History of legal protection of knowledge

 First ‘IP rights’ provided a public grant of exclusive rights to reward favoured citizens
o Skill to make coloured church windows, rights provided by the sovereign
o Venetian patent decree of 1474
 IPR laws are used by countries to further their own economic interests (until 1883)
o Discrimination against foreigners
o Not implementing (strong) patent laws (in certain industry sectors)
 International Exhibition of Inventions in Vienna, 1873
o Enactment of a special Austrian law providing temporary IP protection to exhibitors
o Congress of Vienna for Patent Reform, 1873
 1883 Paris Convention! for the Protection of Industrial Property
o Streamlining patents, (trade)marks, industrial designs, geographical indications
o National Treatment; Right of Priority; Mutual Independence
o 1886 Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works
o 1891 Madrid Agreement for the Protection of Trademarks

, The World Intellectual Property Organisations (1893/1970, Geneva)

 UN Agency “to promote innovation and creativity for the economic, social and cultural
development of all countries, through a balanced and effective international intellectual
property system”
o Administers 26 international IP treaties
o Facilitates IP protection internationally for patents, trademarks, designs and GI’s
o Capacity building, awareness raising and research
 Patent Cooperation Treaty (1970) → One application for filing a patent application in 157
countries  There is no such thing as a global patent BUT the application process has been
streamlined!
 Can WIPO provide for global patent protection?

Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPs, 1995)

 Part of the negotiations establishing the World Trade Organisation
 Establishes minimum standards for several IPRs
 IPRs go global
 The carrot and the stick
