Book Description
A Brookings Institution Press and the Organization of American States publication This is the Spanish language version of Toward Free Trade in America. In the past 15 years, the nations of the Western Hemisphere have staged a remarkable revolution—in the way they trade with their neighbors. First, after decades of restrictive import policies, several countries began to liberalize their trade and investment regimes. Then, beginning a decade ago, numerous bilateral and sub-regional trade agreements were achieved, to serve as vital complements to domestic reforms and to foster trade flows among member countries. At the Second Summit of the Americas in 1998, negotiations among 34 democracies were launched to establish the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). This report takes stock of the remarkable progress to date in the development of free trade in the Western Hemisphere. It examines trade flows between countries in the same regional groupings and between members of different sub-regional arrangements. The report describes the main characteristics of the trade arrangements signed between countries of the Hemisphere and explores the development of trade rules in these arrangements. Finally, the report details recent advances in the construction of the FTAA.

Intellectual Property Law in Argentina
Author: Guillermo Cabanellas
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 9403502207
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 122
Book Description
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this monograph provides a survey and analysis of the rules concerning intellectual property rights in Argentina. It covers every type of intellectual property right in depth – copyright and neighbouring rights, patents, utility models, trademarks, trade names, industrial designs, plant variety protection, chip protection, trade secrets, and confidential information. Particular attention is paid throughout to recent developments and trends. The analysis approaches each right in terms of its sources in law and in legislation, and proceeds to such legal issues as subject matter of protection, conditions of protection, ownership, transfer of rights, licences, scope of exclusive rights, limitations, exemptions, duration of protection, infringement, available remedies, and overlapping with other intellectual property rights. The book provides a clear overview of intellectual property legislation and policy, and at the same time offers practical guidance on which sound preliminary decisions may be based. Lawyers representing parties with interests in Argentina will welcome this very useful guide, and academics and researchers will appreciate its value in the study of comparative intellectual property law.

The Oxford Handbook of Intellectual Property Law
Author: Rochelle C. Dreyfuss
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191076090
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 1025
Book Description
We live in an age in which expressive, informational, and technological subject matter are becoming increasingly important. Intellectual property is the primary means by which the law seeks to regulate such subject matter. It aims to promote innovation and creativity, and in doing so to support solutions to global environmental and health problems, as well as freedom of expression and democracy. It also seeks to stimulate economic growth and competition, accounting for its centrality to EU Internal Market and international trade and development policies. Additionally, it is of enormous and increasing importance to business. As a result there is a substantial and ever-growing interest in intellectual property law across all spheres of industry and social policy, including an interest in its legal principles, its social and normative foundations, and its place and operation in the political economy. This handbook written by leading academics and practitioners from the field of intellectual property law, and suitable for both a specialist legal readership and an intelligent but non-specialist legal and non-legal readership, provides a comprehensive account of the following areas: - The foundations of IP law, including its emergence and development in different jurisdictions and regions; - The substantive rules and principles of IP; and - Important issues arising from the existence and operation of IP in the political economy.

Tratado de derecho industrial
Author: Hermenegildo Baylos Corroza
Publisher:
ISBN: 9788447030804
Category : Law
Languages : es
Pages : 1392
Book Description
Este Tratado es la única obra en lengua castellana en la que se estudian conjuntamente las dos grandes ramas de las creaciones intelectuales: la propiedad industrial y el derecho de autor. En esta tercera edición permanece por su interés y profundidad -con las actualizaciones imprescindibles- el estudio que hizo el autor, Hermenegildo Baylos, acerca de la problemática de los derechos intelectuales, las teorías sobre su tratamiento, los precedentes históricos de protección, la naturaleza jurídica de estos derechos y la justificación que encontró el autor acerca del tratamiento unitario de la propiedad industrial y el derecho de autor, bajo la denominación de “Derecho Industrial”. Como referencia necesaria por el carácter excluyente de los derechos sobre bienes inmateriales, se aborda también el estudio de las nociones fundamentales del Derecho de la Competencia Económica, en sus dos vertientes de “anti trust” y competencia desleal. En la tercera edición se pone al día el derecho positivo español sobre la Defensa de la Competencia, la Competencia Desleal y la Publicidad con mención a Directivas y Reglamentos Comunitarios. La protección de los derechos de autor contiene una total actualización y exposición de las normas que los regulan, con un intenso y pormenorizado repaso del Texto Refundido de la Ley de Propiedad Intelectual, así como una exposición de los Tratados Internacionales que rigen en este sector. La regulación de las diferentes instituciones protegidas por la propiedad industrial está totalmente puesta al día, con el estudio de las últimas modificaciones de la Ley de Patentes y Modelos de Utilidad de 1986, la Ley de Marcas de 7 de diciembre de 2001 y la Ley de Protección Jurídica del Diseño Industrial, de 7 de julio de 2003, con un examen del diseño industrial nacional que carecía de regulación específica. Todo ello con las necesarias referencias a la Ley de 5 de junio de 2006 que, por imperativo comunitario, amplía los medios de tutela de los derechos de propiedad intelectual e industrial. Se incluyen las dos nuevas modalidades comunitarias: la marca comunitaria, creada por el Reglamento sobre Marca Comunitaria, de 20 de diciembre de 1993, y los dibujos y modelos comunitarios, regulados en el Reglamento sobre los Dibujos y Modelos Comunitarios de 12 de diciembre de 2001. Por su amplitud y aportación doctrinal es una obra de obligada lectura para todo estudioso de las creaciones intelectuales, cualquiera que sea su nacionalidad ya que proporciona un profundo examen de los conceptos y doctrinas sobre estas creaciones y, además, por la actualización que contiene del derecho positivo, es de gran utilidad para los Abogados especializados en propiedad industrial y derecho de autor y para los Agentes de la Propiedad Industrial.

Book Description
Technology has affected a wide range of issues in our personal and professional lives. And in doing so it has opened the door for new legal questions, especially with regard to intellectual property and, more specifically, copyright. New legal questions have arisen with respect to the authorship of web pages, databases, computer programs, and, in general, multimedia work. Is this technology internationally protected? Can internet piracy be considered piracy? To whom does the copyright belong when more than one author exists? When is it necessary to resort to technical protection devices? By examining international laws, such as the WIPO treaties and EU law, this book offers a clear answer to these questions while focusing on how copyright does or does not protect new technology. It also examines alternative ways of protecting technologies that present the real possibility of appealing to patent and trademark law as well as an overview of the multimedia concept and the origins of copyright. This book's simple structure helps the reader to understand how to utilize current laws to protect one's work and offers an interesting and informative analysis of the subject.

Industrial Design Rights
Author: Brian W. Gray
Publisher: Kluwer Law International B.V.
ISBN: 940352555X
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 603
Book Description
This book is a revised and updated edition of a major work first published in 2001 under the auspices of the Intellectual Property Committee of the International Bar Association. As a comparative cross-jurisdictional analysis of the practice, theory, scope, and types of design protection, it will continue to be of immeasurable value to lawyers and others involved in industrial design. Industrial designs are particularly interesting because the laws in many countries attempt in different ways to find a balance between protection for the artistic creation and the freedom to use the purely functional, and between the proprietary rights of the creator and the public domain rights of the competitor. The third edition is comprised of twenty-five country reports, each written by one or more prominent intellectual property lawyer(s) in the country covered. To facilitate cross-jurisdictional comparison, each report is structured according to the following sequence of topics: new developments in each jurisdiction; conventions and legislation; definition of what constitutes a protectable design; originality /novelty; duration of protection; infringement; defences to infringement; procedures for filing application for registration; and expunging, cancelling, or varying registration. Prominent new developments covered in the third edition include new chapters from South Korea, Russia and Turkey as well as continuing coverage of the impact of the European Community Design Directive, the adoption of the Hague Agreement with corresponding major changes to US and Canadian design law and practice, the newly revised Japanese Design Law, and China’s revised Guidelines for Examination. Each jurisdiction’s currently applicable legislation, regulation, and case law is summarized and analysed.
