French implement IP Enforcement Directive

- , ,
Frédéric Glaize, French lawyer and blogmeister of Le petit Musée des Marques, has kindly tipped his friend the IPKat off about French law n° 2007-1544 reinforcing measures against IP infringement, which was published on 30 October in the Journal Officiel. This law (or loi, as we French-speakers like to call it) comes into force the day after its publication, in other words yesterday (Halloween). This law was passed in order to implement IP Enforcement Directive 2004/48 of 29 April 2004.

Right: specially trained French sniffer-cat in search of counterfeit dancing shoes

The text of this law is available in French here. While the English translation of the French IP Code has not yet been updated. a translation is available here. Bravo! et merci beaucoup, dit l'IPKat. But, says Merpel, isn't this law a little bit en retard? The date for implementation was 29 April 2006 ...

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.
