WARSAW May 2006 Seminar on Enforcement of Property Variety Rights

European Commission: “Counterfeiting and piracy, and infringements of intellectual property in general, are a constantly growing phenomenon which nowadays have an international dimension, since they are a serious threat to national economies and governments.”

Article 30 1(i) UPOV Convention 1991: “Each contracting party…shall provide for legal remedies for the effective enforcement of breeder’s rights.”

TRIPS Agreement “Members shall ensure that enforcement procedures as specified in this Part are available under their law so as to permit effective action against any act of infringement of intellectual property rights covered by this Agreement, including expeditious remedies to prevent infringements and remedies which constitute a deterrent to further infringements. These procedures shall be applied in such a manner as to avoid the creation of barriers to legitimate trade and to provide for safeguards against their abuse.”

Directive 2004/48/EC on the enforcement of intellectual property rights The objective of the Directive is “to approximate legislative systems so as to ensure a high, equivalent and homogeneous level of protection in the internal market”

The Directive concerns the basically civil law measures, procedures and remedies necessary to ensure the enforcement of intellectual property rights. Its scope covers any infringement of intellectual property rights as provided for by Community law and/or by national law of the Member States.

Council Regulation 1383/2003 Concerns customs action against goods suspected of infringing certain intellectual property rights and the measures to be taken against goods found to have infringed such rights

Proposal for a Directive on criminal measures ensuring IP enforcement The directive is the penal law complement of directive 2004/48 /EC

Council Regulation 2100/94 Infringing acts in relation to the variety Infringing acts in relation to variety denomination Breach of contract Injunctions Compensation Provisional protection

Competent Court -where the defendant is domiciled or has his seat or an establishment. -if the mentioned condition is not met, where the plaintiff is domiciled or has his seat or, in the absence of such, has an establishment; or - if the before mentioned is also not met, where the seat of the Office is located Validity of the Community Plant Variety Right Obtaining identification of a variety Prescription Penalties
