El Ecuador concede primera licencia obligatoria para medicamentos contra el VIH/SIDA

26/04/2010 by Catherine Saez, Intellectual Property Watch 4 Comments

Este mes, el Ecuador concedió su primera licencia obligatoria para un producto farmacéutico patentado, desde que el año pasado declarara que utilizaría normas internacionales que permiten tal concesión.

Esta acción ya le ha aportado al país ahorros sustanciales debido a la nueva competencia, según la oficina de propiedad intelectual ecuatoriana. Otros países latinoamericanos podrían verse atraídos por las perspectivas de precios de medicamentos más bajos, según dejaron trascender algunos defensores. El titular de los derechos se manifestó decepcionado por la decisión.

26/04/2010 by Catherine Saez, Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

计算机巨人IMB正面临一家公开渠道信息软件公司在欧洲委员会提出的违背反托拉斯法的控告,该软件公司声称IMB阻止客户使用其软件。与此同时,公开渠道信息业界担心,IBM作为一家公开渠道软件制作的领军企业将运用知识产权来阻止竞争者,而这将危及自由和公开渠道的软件,并有可能打开其他公司纷纷声张知识产权的阀门。就此,IBM再次表示对公开渠道信息业界的支持,并要求竞争公司解释其软件如何不会侵犯到IBM的知识产权。

26/04/2010 by Catherine Saez, Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

تواجه شركة أي بي إم العملاقة لإنتاج الحواسيب دعوى بانتهاك قوانين مكافحة الاحتكار قدمتها إلى المفوضية الأوروبية شركةٌ للبرامجيات المفتوحة المصدر التي تزعم أن شركة أي بي إم تمنع العملاء من استخدام تلك البرامجيات. وفي غضون ذلك، يساور القلق مجتمع البرامجيات المفتوحة المصدر من أن استخدام أي بي إم لحقوق الملكية الفكرية -وهي شركة رائدة في مجال تصميم البرامجيات المفتوحة المصدر- لمنع شركة ما من منافستها سيعرّض البرامجيات الحرة والمفتوحة المصدر للخطر وقد يفسح المجال أمام مطالبة الجهات الفاعلة الأخرى بحقوق الملكية الفكرية. وأكدت أي بي إم من جانبها مجددا دعمها لمجتمع البرامجيات المفتوحة المصدر وطلبت من الشركة المنافسة أن تشرح كيف أن برنامجها الحاسوبي لا يتعدى على حقوق الملكية الفكرية لشركة أي بي إم.

Empresa de código abierto presenta alegato sobre antimonopolio contra IBM; IBM solicita análisis

26/04/2010 by Catherine Saez, Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

El gigante de la computación IBM enfrenta una reclamación fundada en las disposiciones antimonopolio, presentada ante la Comisión Europea por una empresa de programas informáticos de código abierto que alega que IBM impide que los clientes usen tales programas. A la comunidad de programas informáticos de código abierto le preocupa que el uso que IBM (un fabricante líder de estos programas) haga de los derechos de propiedad intelectual (PI) para bloquear a un competidor ponga en peligro los programas informáticos de código abierto gratuitos y pueda destapar otras reclamaciones por derechos de PI de otros agentes. IBM, por su parte, reafirma su apoyo a la comunidad de programas informáticos de código abierto y ha solicitado a la empresa competidora que explique de qué modo su programa informático no infringe los derechos de PI de IBM.

L’éditeur d’un logiciel open source accuse IBM de concurrence déloyale – IBM demande une analyse

26/04/2010 by Catherine Saez, Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

IBM fait l’objet d’une plainte pour concurrence déloyale portée devant la Commission européenne par l’éditeur d’un logiciel open source, qui accuse le géant de l’informatique d’empêcher les consommateurs d’utiliser ce logiciel. Au même moment, la communauté open source craint que le fait qu’IBM, développeur de logiciels open source de premier plan, revendique ses droits de propriété intellectuelle pour barrer la route à un concurrent ne représente une menace pour les logiciels libres et open source, et ne conduise à anéantir les revendications de propriété intellectuelle émises par d’autres acteurs. IBM, pour sa part, réaffirme son soutien à la communauté open source et demande à l’entreprise concurrente d’expliquer dans quelle mesure le logiciel en question n’enfreint pas ses droits de propriété intellectuelle.

Medicrime: Another Anti-Counterfeiting Convention Emerges In Europe

24/04/2010 by Monika Ermert for Intellectual Property Watch 3 Comments

While the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement (ACTA) is getting a lot of attention with its draft consolidated version just published, there is another convention dealing with one major aspect it was always said ACTA would tackle. The Medicrime Convention of the Council of Europe sets the first international standard for criminalising the manufacturing and distribution of counterfeited medicine risking public health. And Medicrime will overtake ACTA, as the draft convention text is ready to be signed by the Committee of Ministers in May and be opened for signature in November.

23/04/2010 by Dugie Standeford for Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

Two shareholders in a Pennsylvania company with patents key to third generation (3G) mobile communications want the US Department of Justice to investigate European mobile phone manufacturers Nokia and Ericsson and others for failing to pay royalties for use of the technology. Antitrust scrutiny is needed to prevent the same thing from happening as the next generation of mobile phones rolls out, Richard Monahan and Kent Greene say.
