2 History and development Enforcement scope and level Three basic principles Minimum standards of protection Related case
3 HISTORY AND DEVELPOMENT The world's first copyright law was the Statute of Anne, enacted in England in 1710 Legislation based on the Statute of Anne gradually appeared in other countries, such as the Copyright Act of 1790 in the United States, but copyright legislation remained uncoordinated at an international level until the 19th century. Prior to the Berne Convention, copyright law would usually only apply at a national level. In 1886, the Berne Convention was introduced to provide mutual recognition of copyright between nation states, and to promote the development of international standards for copyright protection.
4 REVISION OF BERNE CONVENTION Revised at Berlin (1908) Completed at Berne (1914) Revised at Rome (1928 Revised at Brussels (1948), at Stockholm (1967) and at Paris (1971 Amended in 1979
5 Total Contracting Parties : 165 Viet Nam joined Berne convention October 26, 2004, 156 th member
6 Aim of the Berne Convention The aim of the Berne Convention, as indicated in its preamble, is to protect, in as effective and uniform a manner as possible, the rights of authors in their literary and artistic works.
7 Why it s important Enforcing treaties which protect intellectual property, such as copyright, are important because they promote creativity, fair trade and the contribution to economic and social development.
8 Scope of Copyright Protection Copyright protection extends to expressions and not to ideas, procedures, methods of operation or mathematical concepts as such. Protected Works Every production in the literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or form of its expression Derivative works: Translations, adaptations, arrangements of music and other alterations of a literary or artistic work Collections of literary or artistic works
9 Three Basic Principles 1. Principle of national treatment:- works originating in one contracting state must be given the same protection in other states. 2. Principle of automatic protection:- such protection must not be conditional upon compliance with any formality. 3. Principle of independence of protection:- such protection is independent of the existence of protection in the country of origin of the work (Art 5)
10 Minimum Standards of Protection Minimum protection standards depend on: (a) the work to be protected, (b) the rights to be protected and (c) the duration of protection.
11 The work to be protected The protection must include every production in the literary, scientific and artistic domain, whatever may be the mode or form of its expression Eg: books, pamphlets and other writings; lectures, addresses, sermons and other works of the same nature; dramatic or dramatico-musical works (Article 21)
12 Rights to be Protected Exclusive rights of authorization: 1. The right of Translation (Art 8) 2. The right of reproduction in any manner or form, which includes any sound or visual (Art 9) 3. The right to perform dramatic, dramatico-musical and musical works (Art 11) 4. The right to broadcast and communicate to the public, by wire, rebroadcasting or loudspeaker or any other analogous instrument, the broadcast of the work (Art 11bis) 5. The right of public recitation in literary works (Art 11ter), 6. The right to make adaptations, arrangements or other alterations (Art 12) 7. The right to authorize cinematographic adaptations and reproduction; distribution; public performance and public communication by wire of works (Art 14)
13 Moral Right is another exclusive right : (a) the right to claim authorship of work (b) the right to object to any mutilation, deformation, modification or derogatory action in relation to the work. (Art 6bis)
14 Duration of Protection The general rule is the life of the author + 50 years after his death. Exception cinematographic works: 50 years after the work has been made available to the public with the consent of the author, or, failing such an event within 50 years from the making of such a work, fifty years after the making. anonymous or pseudonymous works: 50years after the work has been lawfully made available to the public. photographic works and that of works of applied art in so far as they are protected as artistic works: at least 25 years from the making of such a work. (Art 7)
15 EXAMPLE One of the most famous cases of copyright infringement is related to the music industry. As peer to peer file sharing increased, there are many websites offering downloads of songs of all genre new and old. Ex: mp3zing.vn, yeucahat.com, nhaccuatui.com These acts are deemed to be copyright infringement case of stealing music and making it available to people worldwide at no cost without the consent of composers and singers and paying royalties Vietnam should apply convention and treaty related to copyright to fine these acts
16 History Needs for development Enforcement scope and level Provision of the convention Related case
17 History After a diplomatic conference in Paris in 1880, the Convention was signed in Paris, France on March 20, 1883 by 11 countries: Belgium, Brazil, France, Guatemala, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, El Salvador, Serbia, Spain and Switzerland. Until Dec 2011, the Convention has 174 contracting member countries Vietnam : March 8, 1949
18 REVISION OF PARIS CONVENTION Brussels, Belgium - Dec 14, 1900 Washington, United States - June 2, 1911 The Hague, Netherlands- Nov 6, 1925 London, United Kingdom - June 2, 1934 Lisbon, Portugal - Oct 31, 1958 Stockholm, Sweden - July 14, 1967 amended on September 28, 1979.
19 Need for development Before the existence of any international convention in the field of industrial property, it was difficult to obtain protection for industrial property rights in the various countries of the world because of the diversity of their laws. The development of a more internationally oriented flow of technology and the increase of international trade made harmonization of industrial property laws urgent in both the patent and the trademark field require the protection to help people of one country obtain protection in other countries for their intellectual creations in the form of industrial property rights
20 Enforcement scope & level The protection of industrial property has as its object: patents, utility models, industrial designs, trademarks, service marks, trade names, indications of source or appellations of origin, and the repression of unfair competition. Industrial property shall be understood in the broadest sense and shall apply not only to industry and commerce proper, but likewise to agricultural and extractive industries and to all manufactured or natural products ( Article 1, Paris Convention)
21 Provision of the convention Three main categories: national treatment right of priority common rules
22 National treatments Nationals of Countries of the Union: Each contracting State must grant the same protection to nationals of the other contracting States as it grants to its own nationals. Nationals of non-contracting States who are domiciled or who have real and effective industrial or commercial establishments in the territory of one of the countries of the Union shall be treated in the same manner as nationals of the countries of the Union. (Article 2,3 Paris Convention)
23 Right of priority The Convention provides for the right of priority in the case of patents, marks and industrial designs. on the basis of a regular first application filed in one of the contracting States, the applicant may, within a certain period of time (12 months for patents and utility models; 6 months for industrial designs and marks), apply for protection in any of the other contracting States; these later applications will then be regarded as if they had been filed on the same day as the first application. these later applications, being based on the first application, will not be affected by any event that may have taken place in the interval. (Article 4, Paris Convention)
24 1.As to Patents: Common Rules Patents granted in different contracting States for the same invention are independent of each other (Article 4bis, Paris Convention) The inventor shall have the right to be mentioned as such in the patent. (Article 4ter, Paris Convention)
25 2.As to Marks The conditions for the filing and registration of trademarks shall be determined in each country of the Union by its domestic legislation. (Item 1, Article 6, Paris Convention) Where a mark has been duly registered in the country of origin, it must, on request, be accepted for filing and protected in its original form in the other contracting States (Item A, Article 6quinquies, Paris Convention) Each contracting State must refuse registration and prohibit the use of marks which constitute a reproduction, imitation or translation, liable to create confusion, of a mark considered by the competent authority of that State to be well known in that State as being already the mark of a person entitled to the benefits of the Convention and used for identical or similar goods. (Article 6bis, Paris Convention)
26 3.As to Industrial Designs: Industrial designs shall be protected in all the countries of the Union. (Article 5quinquies) 4.As to Trade Names: A trade name shall be protected in all the countries of the Union without the obligation of filing or registration, whether or not it forms part of a trademark. (Article 8, Paris Convention)
27 5.As to Indications of Source: Measures must be taken by each contracting State against direct or indirect use of a false indication of the source of the goods or the identity of the producer, manufacturer or trader. (Article 10, Paris Convention) 6.As to Unfair Competition: Each contracting State must provide for effective protection against unfair competition (Article 10bis, Paris Convention)
28 Related Case (Case No. D ) The electroluxtr.com case The Parties The Complainant is Aktiebolaget Electrolux of Stockholm, Sweden, represented by Melbourne IT Digital Brand Services, Sweden. The Respondent is Mehmet Kirci of Istanbul, Turkey.
29 Factual Background The Complainant : Swedish joint stock company founded in 1901 and registered as a Swedish company in 1919 devoted substantial resources to advertising and promoting its trademark ELECTROLUX. has trademark registrations containing its trade name, ELECTROLUX in 150 countries, and registered ELECTROLUX as a Community Trademark (CTM) the registered owner of close to 700 domain names including the word ELECTROLUX, including <electrolux.com.tr> registered by Electrolux Turkey on August 7, 1997 The Respondent : Mehmet Kirci of Istanbul, Turkey. The Respondent registered the disputed domain name <electroluxtr.com> on April 13, 2009.
30 Parties Contentions A. Complainant The disputed domain name is confusingly similar to Complainant s trademark ELECTROLUX and the dominant part of the disputed domain name is electrolux, which is identical to its registered trademark The addition of the suffix tr does not have any impact on the overall impression of the dominant part of the disputed domain name and is therefore not relevant in determining whether it is confusingly similar to a trademark.
31 The web site is almost identical to the Complainant s official Turkish Electrolux web site displaying its trade logo The Respondent has no connection with Complainant, and that Complainant has not licensed or otherwise authorised the Respondent to use the trademark.
32 B. Respondent The Respondent did not reply to the Complainant s contentions
33 Discussion and Findings In view of the foregoing, the Panel finds that the disputed domain name is confusingly similar to a trademark in which the Complainant has rights, and therefore, the Complainant has succeeded on this element under the Policy. In the absence of a response, the Respondent was unable to demonstrate a legitimate interest or right in the disputed domain name and therefore the Panel accepts the Complainant s contentions as true. The Panel finds that the Respondent has intentionally attempted to attract, for commercial gain, Internet users to an on-line location, by creating a likelihood of confusion with the Complainant s mark
34 DECISION For all the foregoing reasons, on May 10, 2010 the Panel orders that the disputed domain name <electroluxtr.com> be transferred to the Complainant
