This chapter discusses the enforcement procedures used in relation to intellectual property rights, the civil remedies that apply, and some issues which arise in relation to the gathering of evidence in intellectual property cases. It identifies three essential elements in the relationship between intellectual property rights and remedies. First, there are the traditional remedies headed by damages that are normally granted at the trial. Second, intellectual property infringement often requires immediate action or a pre-emptive strike. Finally, gathering evidence that is vital for the full trial in an infringement case.

This chapter deals with civil and criminal remedies that are available where intellectual property rights are violated. It first considers the civil relief available before a trial takes place, namely: interim injunctions and prevention of imports. It then outlines the civil remedies available at full trial: final injunction, delivery up or destruction, the awarding of damages, the account of profits, and publicity orders. Finally, it examines the various criminal remedies that intellectual property right holders may avail.

AbstractWe study the role of the strength of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) law protection and enforcement in influencing horizontal productivity spillovers from inward FDI to domestic firms in host countries. While most WTO countries adopted strong IPR legislation due to exogenous pressure resulting from the signing of the Trade-Related Aspects of IPR (TRIPS) agreement, public IPR enforcement strength continues to vary significantly between countries. We meta-analyse 49 studies and find that public IPR enforcement strength has a direct positive effect on horizontal productivity spillovers from inward FDI to domestic firms and a negative moderating effect on the relationship between IPR law protection strength and horizontal productivity spillovers from inward FDI to domestic firms.

All books in this flagship series contain carefully selected substantial extracts from key cases, legislation, and academic debate, providing able students with a stand-alone resource. This chapter examines some of the different types of intellectual property rights (IPRs) before outlining the relationship between intellectual property and both EU competition law and the EU free movement rules. It focuses, however, on IP licensing agreements and their treatment under Article 101. The chapter is organized as follows. Section 3 traces the development of EU competition policy to IP licensing agreements. Sections 4 and 5 examine the current Technology Transfer Block Exemption, Regulation 772/2004 (TTBER) and the Guidelines in detail (noting where significant changes might occur in 2014). Sections 6, 7, and 8 deal with trade mark licences, trade mark delimitation agreements, and copyright (other than software) licences not covered by the TTBER and Guidelines. Section 9 outlines issues arising in cases involving IPRs under Article 102, while Section 10 concludes.

Patent pools do not correct all problems associated with patent thickets. In this respect, patent pools might not stop the outsider problem from striking pools. Moreover, patent pools can be expensive to negotiate, can exclude patent holders with smaller numbers of patents or enable a group of major players to form a cartel that excludes new competitors. For all the above reasons, patent pools are subject to regulatory clearance because they could result in a monopoly. The aim of this article is to present the relationship between patents and competition in a broad context.

ABSTRAKMicrostock menjadi salah satu unsur penting yang menunjang aktifitas desainer grafis sehari-hari. Baik untuk mendapatkan konten grafis digital, mengetahui perkembangan tren desain kekinian dan menjadi jawaban mereka untuk bekerja secara freelance. Penelitian ini menyajikan apa dan sejauh mana hubungan microstock dengan desainer grafis, kesadaran desainer grafis tentang hak kekayaan intelektual dan fenomena pengaruh microstock terhadap kesadaran hak kekayaan intelektual desainer grafis. Jenis pendekatan yang digunakan adalah fenomenologi Edmund Husserl karena objek yang diteliti berkaitan dengan kesadaran manusia. Fokusnya adalah memaparkan fenomena kesadaran sebagai dasar tindakan yang diperoleh dari pemaknaan pengalaman desainer grafis selama berhubungan dengan microstock. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, dapat disimpulkan bahwa microstock terbukti memiliki pengaruh terhadap kesadaran desainer grafis tentang hak kekayaan intelektual. Pengalaman-pengalaman tindakan yang berkaitan dengan microstock baik sebagai kontributor maupun non-kontributor telah membentuk suatu pengetahuan baru hingga akhirnya melahirkan kesadaran tentang hak kekayaan intelektual terutama pada masalah lisensi dan royalti. Kesadaran tersebut lalu menjadikan desainer grafis mampu aktif merespon fenomena penghargaan maupun pelanggaran hak kekayaan intelektual di lingkungannya masing-masing.ABSTRACTThe Microstock Influence on Consciousness of Graphic Designer’s Intellectual Property Right’s. Microstock has been one of important elements to support the daily activities of graphic designers. These activities involve finding digital graphic contents, finding out the current development of design trend and becoming their answer to work freelance. This research presents what and to what extent is the relationship between microstock and graphic designers, graphic designer’s consciousness of intellectual property rights and the phenomenon of microstock’s effect on graphic designers’ consciousness of intellectual property rights. The approach used is Edmund Husserl’s phenomenology since the object studied is related to human’s consciousness. The focus is to elaborate the phenomenon of consciousness as the basis of action which is obtained from interpreting graphic designer’s experience when they interact with microstock. Based on the research result, it can be concluded that microstock is found to have some influence on graphic designer’s consciousness of intellectual property rights. The experiences of action related to microstock both as contributors and non-contributors have shaped a new knowledge that in turn gives birth to their consciousness of intellectual property rights, particularly on license and royalty issues. This consciousness then allows graphic designers to actively respond to the phenomena of appreciation and violation of intellectual property rights in their own environment.

Intangible assets facilitate successful international growth and, likewise, new value can be created through internationalization as it supports creating and utilizing such assets. Independent of whether the innovative creations are input or output, in order to preserve the benefits, awareness of the threat of imitation is needed. Departing from prior studies concentrating on patenting and copy-prevention, or taking the relationship between intellectual property right (IPR) protection and internationalization as given premises, this study addresses the features and effects of IPRs in internationalization from a more strategic perspective. Analysis of data from 299 companies provides empirical evidence.
