Swedish Copyright Evergreens Mini-Maglite?, Hans Henrik Lidgard
Swedish Copyright Evergreens Mini-Maglite?, Hans Henrik Lidgard
Hans Henrik Lidgard
In April 2009 the Swedish Supreme Court recognized copyright protection for the Mini-Maglite® torch as “artware” without any requirement for a special expression level. The overall impression of the well known Mini-Maglite torch was held to be different from other similar torches.The Court held that it displayed a sufficient degree of independence and originality despite the fact that the functional design properties of the torch are neither new nor original. This article investigates the intersection between different IPR rules in Sweden and certain other European countries and the possible extent of the copyright legislation. It concludes that the Swedish position …

The Cfi Microsoft Judgment And Trips Competition Flexibilities, Hans Henrik Lidgard, Tu T. Nguyen
Hans Henrik Lidgard
The CFI Microsoft judgment is a first by any court of a WTO Member, disregarding the competition rules in the TRIPS Agreement to justify the application of domestic competition law to the exercise of IPRs. TRIPS allow WTO Members to enact and apply national competition law to IPR-related anti-competitive practices. The position of the CFI finds support in this fact. Still, it is regretted that the CFI did not invoke the TRIPS competition rules in justifying the Commission’s decision to force Microsoft to supply interoperability information. The article considers the consequences of the European position and the effects of TRIPS …

Departing from fundamental concepts, this paper briefly recaps the case-law development with respect to refusal to deal on both sides of the Atlantic; revisits the EU Guidelines and recent U.S. development, and finally considers refusal to license. All with the purpose to understand whether the 2009 Guidelines actually restate the law as it stands today.

Embracing Price Discrimination: Trips And The Suppression Of Parallel Trade In Pharmaceuticals, Hans Henrik Lidgard, Jeffery Atik
Embracing Price Discrimination: Trips And The Suppression Of Parallel Trade In Pharmaceuticals, Hans Henrik Lidgard, Jeffery Atik
Hans Henrik Lidgard
In December 2005, the WTO responded to the HIV/AIDS pharmaceutical crisis in the least developed world by voting to make the first permanent amendment to the WTO Agreements since their original negotiation during the Uruguay Round. New Article 31bis will amend the TRIPS Agreement to permit compulsory manufacturing licenses in order to facilitate supply of needed pharmaceuticals to those countries lacking the technological capacity to produce these drugs themselves. The amendment reflects a substantial shift in the essential TRIPS bargain, constituting a significant give-back to those developing countries that specialize in the generic production of pharmaceuticals. To date, however, there …

Facilitating Compulsory Licensing Under Trips In Response To The Aids Crisis In Developing Countries, Hans Henrik Lidgard, Jeffery Atik
Hans Henrik Lidgard
The AIDS crisis in the developing world has become a priority for international collaboration. The challenge is to find a balance between the acknowledged need to protect large investments expended in developing new medicines and the goal of providing essential medicines to poor countries. Patent protection must prevent undue infringement yet at the same time allow solutions to humanitarian needs. Is compulsory licensing a way out? TRIPS originally restricted compulsory manufacturing licenses to the country experiencing a public health emergency – which was of little utility to countries lacking manufacturing capacity. The Doha agreement effectively permits twinned compulsory licensing – …
