Op donderdag 22 juli 2010 zal de Europese Commissie het jaarlijkse rapport rond Intellectuele Eigendomsrechten aan grenzen voorstellen
het nieuws:
De Europese Commissie zal het jaarlijkse rapport rond Intellectuele Eigendomsrechten aan grenzen publiceren. Dit rapport bespreekt de hoeveelheid van IPR regels - overtredende goederen detained door douane in 2009, met inbegrip van informatie van de types van producten, de landen van oorsprong, de type rechten en vele andere geschillen.
de achtergrond:
Customs play an important role on the enforcement of intellectual property rights, such as trademarks, copyrights and patents, by detaining any goods that they suspect of infringing these rights. EU legislation allows Customs to control these goods to see if they are possibly in violation of IPR. After customs suspects that a violation might exist further procedures will be followed, including informing the right holders and the holder of the detention. It is then up to the right holders to pursue the matter through a court under national provisions.
het event:
A technical briefing on-the-record on the main results of this year's Report will take place after the midday briefing in the press room of Berlaymont Building.
