IPKAT RECEIVES INSTRUCTIONS ON THE FAXS OF LIFE


The IPKat has received this notification from a reliable source:
You wrote [on Tuesday, 19 April] that the Pan Case was boring. However, this is not the case. It is of utmost importance for users of the CTM system. The TPI for the first time had accepted the interpretation of the OHIM that it can send out any decision by fax (despite unclear wording of Rule 62(1) of the Implementing Regulation). Moreover, it accepted OHIM's evidence of computer fax reports without any further technical expertise if OHIM's automated fax sending system is really reliable. Important part of CFI's reasoning was that the lawyer was not able to provide a list of incoming faxes of that day. As a consequence, representatives should be extremely careful to keep the lists of incoming faxes of the fax machine which was indicated to OHIM, in order to prove that no fax had been received at a certain moment.

  1. No, my friend, the Pan case is deeply, profoundly and seriously boring. That is not to say that it is not of importance. It might have been fun to work on it, but have you tried reading it as a piece of literature?

    In any event, I genuinely doubt that the case is "of the utmost importance". It deals with communication by fax, a medium which may have been important once upon a time, towards the end of the previous century, but which is an increasingly obsolete piece of equipment in this day and age. Within ten years, I bet the only faxes you ever see will be in musuems.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
