Brevetage des gènes: la résistance se renforce aux Etats-Unis et en Europe

14/09/2009 by Catherine Saez, Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

Digital Library Europeana Said To Be Europe’s Answer to Google Books Settlement

28/08/2009 by Dugie Standeford for Intellectual Property Watch 1 Comment

Google’s settlement in the United States of copyright infringement claims by authors and book publishers faces strong opposition from European publishers. The deal does not apply to books outside the US and one Google official has suggested the need for a similar service in Europe. Could digital library Europeana be the solution? A 28 August European Commission policy statement addressed that concern and others.

美国最高法院复审比尔斯基案可能震动专利制度

12/08/2009 by Steven Seidenberg for Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

去年10月,一家美国上诉法院极大地改变了美国的专利法,从而在就何种发明能够受到专利保护这一问题上采取的做法更接近其他国家的标准。联邦上诉巡回法庭(Federal Circuit Court of Appeals,经常被称为美国的“专利法庭”)撤销了自己基本判例,并大幅减少了符合专利保护各类方法和程序。该判决使数千个专利前途未卜,其中就包括许多商业方法专利和金融方法专利。

La revisión del caso Bilski por parte de la Corte Suprema de los EE.UU. podría repercutir en todo el sistema de patentes

12/08/2009 by Steven Seidenberg for Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

El pasado mes de octubre, un tribunal de apelación de los Estados Unidos modificó drásticamente la ley de patentes, acercando así las normas de este país a las de otros en lo relativo a las invenciones que se pueden patentar. El Tribunal de Apelación del Circuito Federal (apodado a menudo el “tribunal de patentes” de los EE.UU) anuló uno de sus precedentes fundamentales y redujo fuertemente los tipos de métodos y procesos que pueden ser objeto de protección mediante patentes. La decisión dejó en entredicho a miles de patentes, entre ellas muchas relacionadas con métodos comerciales y métodos financieros.

Le réexamen de l’affaire Bilski par la Cour suprême américaine pourrait avoir des répercussions sur le système des brevets

12/08/2009 by Steven Seidenberg for Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

En octobre dernier, aux États-Unis, l’arrêt rendu par une cour d’appel a bouleversé la loi fédérale sur les brevets, en comblant le fossé qui la séparait des législations d’autres pays sur les critères de brevetabilité des inventions. La Cour d’appel du tribunal fédéral (Federal Circuit Court of Appeals, parfois surnommée « tribunal de la propriété intellectuelle ») a annulé sa propre décision qui faisait école jusque là. Elle a, de plus, drastiquement limité les types de méthodes et de procédés brevetables. L’arrêt de la cour a remis en question des milliers de brevets, portant pour un grand nombre d’entre eux sur des méthodes commerciales et des procédés financiers.
