In general, offers the Digital Economy Act greater regulatory power of national telecoms advisory bodies, so that it sanctions and penalties of fines and fees by a range of near and full regulation develop suspicious sites hosting illegal file sharing platforms.

A number of methods that cyber-criminals and illegal file-sharing Web sites track is also included in the legislation. If violating a specific place or person suspected copyright, the infringer is a first warning letter requesting the suspension of the proceedings in question will be sent. If file sharing and other anti-copyright continues to sanctions by the competent organ would be imposed.

There is no significant response, however, from the general population and the enterprises concerned and within the industry. The imposition of sanctions aimed at stopping the illegal flow of copyrighted material is interpreted as a further advance the state of British police intrusion into the private lives of its citizens.

What is intellectual property in the property BankruptcyIntellectual during a Chapter 11

Many of you recognize the name CBGB T-shirts and slogans, all unaware that the name comes from a legendary concert hall in Manhattan. More interestingly, the club has closed since 2006. However, investors who bought it the naming rights, not the club. These rights are called intellectual property, are now in the middle of a Chapter 11 filed on behalf of investors. ? So the question is what happens, intellectual property rights in a Chapter 11

In the typical Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the case is as follows: 1) the rejection or acceptance of contracts pending execution, (2) Sale of assets (3) claims adjudication, (4) litigation. For this article applies only to the first question, the contract for execution. A contract is considered executed if it is still a residual guilt of one or both parties to the contract whose terms were the consideration for the form of the contract. The bankruptcy courts have held that non-exclusive licenses for intellectual property can not be assumed and assigned, unless there is consent. Everett, Inc. v. Cadtrack Corp., 89 F.3d (9th Cir. 1996).

a step back for a moment, let us in the shoes of the person who has licensed the intellectual property of a license file for bankruptcy later. In this scenario, if the license is exclusive, is treated as a performance contract. The licensor may not sell, these rights to third parties, may not exceed the licensee to stop paying royalties. See Encino Bus. Management, Inc. v. Prize Frize, Inc. In the cases where the license is not exclusive, Section 365 (n) of the Bankruptcy Code Chapter 11 states that if the trustee or the debtor refuses to Chapter 11 “of one contract under which the debtor is a license of intellectual property, “the licensee under the contract:

1) Treatment of the license terminated and assert breach of contract, or select

2) to keep their rights to use intellectual property, there was immediately before the commencement of bankruptcy or the duration of the contract. 11 USC 365 (n) (1) (B)

Sun, must choose no matter what you, the licensee should be allowed to exercise all their rights, and continue making payments on the Rights of the license for the duration of the the contract.

It is important to note that § 365 (n) not for all contracts, or are the intellectual property. On the contrary, the contract must be such that the debtor is a “license to intellectual property rights.”

Intellectual Property (IP) is a collective term that intellectual creations or intellect, both commercially and artistically covered in nature.

There are two categories of goods, which includes the first creative works such as books, movies, music, painting, photography and software. These are protected by copyright, that the owner of copyright the exclusive right of adaptation or reproduction of works for a certain period of normal time control offer covered.

The second category, which creates a “commercial” includes things known for industrial or commercial applications. Patents give the owner of the inventor and / or the patent right to exclude others from using the invention, provided that you pay a license (again, for a certain period). Marks a kind of intellectual property rights, are characteristics that reduce the confusion between similar types of products.

“Intellectual Property Rights” includes, as a subset, industrial design rights, which protect the special appearance, design, form, style or design of industrial objects of various types of violations, such as copying, for example, cloning, or falsified . Another type of intellectual property is a trade secret, that is, private information that would normally confidential commercial products or business practices. The disclosure of trade secrets to the public without permission is illegal in most countries.

A brief history lessonIf creators of intellectual property not protected, would hardly have an incentive to have further researched and developed products for public use, and tend to things secret. Therefore, the economic growth in industrialized countries largely dependent on the protection afforded inventors, writers and artists intellectual property laws.

According to some economists, some 60 to 70% of large U.S. companies on intangible assets. More importantly, the recent findings of a study group of the UN, has found that “positive correlation” between the law of intellectual property and the subsequent strong economic growth. Of course, the correlation is not causation, but the observation is very important. Obviously, the creation of a legal framework to protect intellectual property is an important step in the maturation of young economies, Pacific Coast and the countries of the former Soviet Union.

In fact, intellectual property rights, in fact, simply a form of temporary monopoly that is enforced by the government, and subject to legal proceedings in the justice of government. The more mature perspective, and this is a nation and the economy, the roots better.

good types of intellectual property rights

are usually so-called “non-rival” goods, ie goods that are used simultaneously by a number of persons confined, where the use of one person does not preclude or exclude its use by another person. On the other hand, are “rival” goods such as clothing, used by one person at a time. As an analogy, any number of people is a mathematical formula or a cake recipe to use simultaneously. This explains some of the objections against the concept of “intellectual property”, as some lawyers say that the term “property” can only be applied to competing products, or you can not “own” property of any kind

Because ” non-rival “goods can be copied, for example, by many people at once – in economic terms,” ​​produced at zero marginal cost “- creators have no incentive at all stages of such works. Of course, monopolies have their own shortcomings, as some manufacturers to increase prices or production costs by not “maximized” for welfare recipients.

The intellectual property system is therefore best used as a trade-off, an intention that the interests of the company’s monopoly in the creation of non-rival good balance thoughts. In other words, to promote IP development structures research, development and creation of new things, new products, new ideas and new processes.

Making these commitments and the strategy of intellectual property issues, such as industry or even a nation is a daunting task. The best hope we have is that a series of judicial decisions and entrepreneurial track a path through the confusion. Meanwhile, it is important to remember that the current framework does not set in stone, and is subject to subtle and dramatic changes. The best advice for those who is in this environment, have a good lawyer, note the IP Court decisions and all documents – that shape research, decisions, recommendations, and finally a complete list of intellectual property continues in the U.S. and take on around the world.

Feng Jun, President, said instead of the 2009 Summer Davos Annual Meeting of the interview with reporters that China’s intellectual property, the new leader of China’s economy, in the passive state of intellectual property protection in To change the global intellectual property rights play an important role.

Not long ago, Patriot’s Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., the world leader in the company of Hewlett-Packard in Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court and an immediate end to the Patriot HP Data USBplus SATA port called for patent infringement. At the same time, another consumer electronics multinational patriot Toshiba will also be sued. In an interview, many experts believe that the Patriots started the initiative activist behavior, it becomes more and more Chinese enterprises to participate in active measures to protect intellectual property.

For industry sources, in the face of fierce competition in the global market situation of Chinese enterprises to protect themselves based on the world market and accelerate the construction of property rights independent intellectual, but also learn the full use of intellectual property “weapon” to make the attack or retreat to safety.

“Technology Interface” Dispute four finals of the Patriot Electronic Technology Co., Hewlett-Packard and Toshiba specifically on law enforcement in connection with the communication take place, the President and CEO of Patriot electronics and technology products that I Qu Jingdong Xie D + Canhao General attended the meeting and patent for the technology USBplus case and instructions.

Xiecan Hao said USBplus by the Patriots in 2009 of an autonomous technological interface technology innovation and has applied for patent protection technology USBplus interface.

said at the time of this technological breakthrough encounter with a low speed of data transmission caused no small vibration is less compatible with the shortage in the IT industry. From a technical point of view, firstly, to provide high speed data 6Gbps USBplus is more than 6 times the speed of USB 2.0 for PC communication to meet and network applications in depth trend. It’s also compatible with USB 3.0, USB 2.0 and eSATA interfaces, computers for the correct application of the general performance data on the port. Qu Jingdong

Patriot Patriot electronics lawyer said, the fact that since 2009, had violated patents on the subject, many times, and the companies involved in the negotiations, then quickly back to the manufacturer, sanctions for violations. However, as some companies have failed to effectively e-Solutions decided Patriot Patriot Electronics, first, China Hewlett-Packard Co., Toshiba (China) Limited and the sale of counterfeit products to sue and demanded from the company to stop the violation and. to compensate for economic losses Patriot

At the time, said a network statement in response to the spread of HP, HP has received the letter, the attorney sent a patriot, HP announced its technology exists USBplus interface patent infringement. Hewlett-Packard strongly believe that this complaint is unfounded, and has an answer.

Intellectual Property Rights “sign” is also a “spear” competition on the market in the current environment, intellectual property, a spear, “” will “protect.” The companies have intellectual property rights in a position to protect themselves to some extent, but more importantly, can help the competitors, even better, the maximization of the economic interests of the company.

But over the years, China-enterprise in the process of protecting intellectual property is often only as a “protective shield” for the defense, more passive.
