Uncertain Time

Patent law, which arose at the beginning of the industrial revolution and protects the rights of the patent holder solely on the territory of patenting, does not apply to inventions used in outer space. Space is not included in any patenting territory. It is necessary on a new basis to form the space law on the protection of innovative solutions, which will take into account the uncertain time between the filing of an application for an invention and its first use in space. Now it often exceeds the generally accepted period of validity of patents. For space patents, it is advisable to establish their validity for at least 50 years from the date of first use. All outer space, including all objects located in it, is proposed to be declared a single patent territory. It is necessary to exclude duties on the maintenance of patents used in space flights, if they are used only by the developer or are transferred to them for free leasing.

Exclusive Right

Purpose: Community needs for capital are obtained in various ways, one way is to make a debt agreement with financial institutions. This method is one way that is quite simple to obtain funds to support business activities. This debt agreement is usually carried out with a guarantee that the guarantee is a complement to provide assurance for financial institutions, in this case, the bank can obtain a loan refund in the event of an interpretation. One of the things that can be used as collateral is a patent. With the issuance of the latest law the patent is one way to obtain a loan from the bank. Methodology: This research study gathered theoretical data about loan granting under fiduciary security of patent. Main Findings: The development of the global community has caused development in security of loan application in banking internationally, one of them is security by using Patent. In Article 108 paragraph (1) of Patent Law, it is stated that right on Patent can be used as fiduciary security. The existing regulation indicates that the State supports economic development through granting of loan to Patent holders in order to develop their invention. A Patent Holder shall have an exclusive right to use the Intellectual Property Right by his/herself by using it as security. Implications/Applications: The findings of this study are helpful for the individuals in understanding the aspect of patents and exclusive rights held by the owner in order to secure Intellectual Property.

International Patent

This issue is not new in international patent law. However, this institution was abolished in the Georgian legislation in 2010-2017 and its re-formulation has become active after it was put in the agenda in accordance with the provisions of Chapter IV (Intellectual Property Rights) of Chapter 4 (Intellectual Property Rights) between Georgia and the European Union and the European Union and their Member States. The necessity of fulfilling the undertaken liabilities and to bring the Georgian legislation in line with the above-mentioned agreement, as well as the aspects related to the intellectual property rights trade (TRIPS) and the EU legislation. The presented scientific article Aspects of Compulsory Licensing in Patent Law concerns with a topical issue such as mandatory licensing of a patented invention and / or utility model within the territory of Georgia without the permission of patent owner, which combines the principles of compulsory licensing, as well as the mentioned licensing procedures and procedure for issuing the compensation to the patent holder. The authors have studied the issues of compulsory licensing in Georgian patent law in this article, as well as the international agreements related to the issue of compulsory licensing themes. The introduction reviews the exclusive rights of the patent holder and the grounds for restricting those rights. The first chapter provides a legal analysis of the international agreements where we find the regulatory norms for involuntary / compulsory licensing of patents. The authors discuss the issues of compulsory licensing in the Georgian patent system in the second chapter. This problem is very relevant, interesting and innovative from the legal point of view, because with the issue of compulsory licensing, the rule of granting compensation to the patent owner is activated, which in itself is related to his property rights, and finally the main directions of the compulsory license that we find in the international patent and national system are reconciled and summarized.

Rights and obligations connected with intellectual property and liability will influence the commercial exploitation of outer space by private entities. Whilst international space law facilitates private enterprise participation in space endeavour, additional action has been taken, on national as well as multi-national level, to provide the business community with the necessary incentives to play their role in the commercialization of space activities. The situation and legal developments described in this article mark the very beginning of a movement towards the consolidation and diversification of commercial space exploitation.

TRIPS as it stands is against the interests of developing countries, and needsreform. In developing their own patent law, developing countries need to recognizethat there is now near consensus among informed observers that patentlaw and practice have, in some cases, overshot, and need to be reformed. Thatis the burden of the recent NAS/NRC report on “A Patent System for the 21stCentury.

And Control

AbstractThis article focuses primarily on to what extent novel beings, and particularly, beings which display something akin to human consciousness or agency would be (or should be) patentable under current European patent law. Patents grant the patent holder a right to exclude others from using the patented invention for the period of patent grant (usually 20 years). This allows the patent holder to control how that invention can or cannot be used by others downstream, granting patent holders a governance like function over the patented technology for the duration of the patent. Accordingly, the potential for patentability of novel beings gives rise to a myriad of ethical issues including: to what extent is it appropriate for patent holders to retain and exercise patents over “novel beings”; how issues of “agency” displayed by any “novel beings” would fit within the current patent framework, if at all; and to what extent existing exclusions from patentability might exclude patents on “novel beings” or whether changes within patent law may be needed if patents in relation to “novel beings” are deemed ethically problematic. This article focuses on such issues, and in doing so, also sheds light on the role of ethical issues within the patenting of advanced biotechnologies more generally.

Space Activities

As the commercial use of outer space becomes feasible, the nature of possessory rights will potentially emerge as the central focus of future space-related activities. The existing international law relating to outer space does not address in detail the nature of possessory rights in outer space and is subject to multiple interpretations. Alarmingly, the recently adopted space policies and legislations by some States have taken a definitive position regarding commercial use of natural resources in outer space. In light of India’s increasing involvement in outer space, it circulated the Draft Space Activities Bill, 2017, to formulate a national space law. However, the nature of possessory rights in outer space is not addressed in detail in the Draft Space Activities Bill. This study states that on account of recent developments happening elsewhere, it is extremely important for emerging powers like India to take a position on broader issues like the nature of possessory rights in outer space (which includes celestial bodies as well as resources contained therein). Not addressing the issue of possessory rights in outer space could have profound implications at both domestic as well as international levels.
