Patents

The SpicyIP Blog featured an analysis of a recent decision, where the Delhi High Court interpreted Section 107 of the Indian Patent Act in to mean that export of a product from India amounts to use of the product in India. SpicyIP examined two possible ramifications of this decision for transit and local working requirements.

Trade Marks

Marques Class 99 Blog prepared a detailed guide to the amended Chinese Copyright Law, passed in November 2020. The amendments include implementation of the Beijing Treaty on Audiovisual Performances and raising the amount of statutory damages for copyright infringement.

No comments:

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.
