Hyderabad – a city founded in 1590 with a strategic location referred to by Time Magazine as the Heart of the Indian Peninsula. The blend of customs and cultural infl uences makes Hyderabad unique. The twin cities of Hyderabad and Secundrabad share the traditions of both North and South.

The City of Pearls now competes with Bangalore and Chennai for the crown of India’s IT Capital.

The City of Nawabs during the British Raj was regarded as the richest and the senior most State while the Indian Prince was the only one to be given the unique status of His Exalted Highness (HEH) by the British. The Nawab, according to Forbes, was the fi fth richest man ever in the world (Bill Gates ranking 20th in the said list).

The yin and yang do not stop here. In addition to IT, the biopharmaceutical fi rms make this historic city the centre of great research and development activity. This blend of art and science is the most apt combination for both the generation of Intellectual Property and need for its protection.

The wonders of the city go on. ‘Tollywood’, the Telugu Film Industry, has been producing the largest number of fi lms in India, while Hyderabad has the world’s biggest IMAX 3D screen.

I am sure you will enjoy Hyderabad and apart from pearl shopping, the Hyderabadi biryani and Haleem are the iconic dishes of India with the latter being awarded geographical indication status.

Your visit to palaces like Falaknuma, Chowmahalla and to other historic sites like the Charminar and Golconda Fort will take you back in time and you can experience history and culture alongside science and technology.

The inventive step / non-obviousness requirement has become the focus of attention on many levels. The Eu-ropean Patent Offi ce’s initiative to ‘raise the bar’ or the U.S. Supreme Court decision in KSR v. Telefl ex are only two examples of recent attempts to revisit the inventive step requirement. In view of the breadth of the topic AIPPI decided to deal with this Question in two consecutive years. Q213 commenced with an examination of the role of the skilled person in the context of the inventive step requirement regarding patent validity and infringement, which was consid-ered at the 2010 Paris Congress and led to Resolution Q213. Q217 continues these studies by exploring the larger and more fundamental question of the patent-ability criterion for inventive step / non-obviousness. Inventive step is approached differently in different ju-risdictions. Therefore, the studies will fi rst deal with the standard and required level of inventive step. Second, Q217 will explore how claims are construed and how prior art is interpreted in different jurisdictions. Third, Q217 will look into the question whether lack of inven-tive step can be found over a single prior art reference and whether two or more prior art references can be combined. Fourth, the Question will consider the role, if any, the technical problem to be solved plays in de-termining inventive step. Moreover, in some jurisdic-tions, advantageous effects, secondary considerations (such as commercial success of the claimed invention, failure of others to solve the problem, etc.) and “teach-ing away” are factors in the inventive step determi-nation. Therefore, Q217 will equally explore what role, if any, these considerations play in determining inventive step. Finally, this Question will highlight to what extent the approach taken by a regional patent granting authority during examination may diverge from the approach taken by the national patent grant-ing authority and to what extent the approach taken during examination may diverge from the approach taken by the courts.

Question Q216B continues the studies on excep-tions to copyright protection and the permitted uses of copyright works in the hi-tech and digital sectors which led to the Paris Resolution in 2010. Initially, the intention was to deal with exceptions and limitations in the context of Internet Service Providers (ISPs), search engines, social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, format shifting, orphan works as well as the fair use and private use exemptions in one question. Dur-ing the preparatory work, however, it became clear that the Question is too broad to be covered by one Resolution. The topic is, therefore, dealt with in a two year-cycle. While the Resolution adopted in Paris in 2010 dealt with ISPs, format shifting/digitisation and orphan works, the other issues will be studied now. Specifi cally, this Question will fi rst explore exceptions or permitted uses in relation to user-generated content (UGC), whether these exceptions apply to social net-works such as YouTube, MySpace and FaceBook which encourage internet users to upload UGC onto their sites making the content publicly available to others, and fi nally, whether there are any limitations on those exceptions and permitted uses when these UGC sites are put on notice of unlawful content uploaded by in-ternet users. Second, Q216B will look into the question what exceptions or permitted uses apply in relation to temporary acts of infringement and whether transient copies of electronic works held for example in a cache or in a computer’s working memory (RAM) amount to infringing copies. Third, search engines roam the internet searching for key words in the URLs and meta-data behind websites and supply large quantities of information to the user on the search results page by way of a collection of hyperlinks as words or images (thumbnails). This Question will deal with the issue of whether there are any exceptions or permitted uses relevant to the hyperlinking or location tool services provided by these search engines. Finally, Q216B will explore whether there is a private copying exception and if so whether any copyright levies apply to such private use.

This Question will look at the genuine use require-ment to maintain protection of a trademark, thereby allowing the trademark proprietor to continue to ben-efi t from the rights granted by the registration. As the number of registered trademarks becomes greater and with that “old registrations” increasingly collide with new businesses in need of standout trademarks for their goods and services, the use requirement is an interesting topic of trademark law of today. Q218 will fi rst deal with the nature and level of required use to maintain protection. The aim of this investigation is to distinguish “use” that does not meet the standard. In this respect, Q218 will consider factors such as the scale of use, time and geographic considerations, in-ternal, test marketing and promotional uses as well as use by someone other than the proprietor itself. Moreover, this Question will also look into the issue of a proprietor’s concrete use in comparison to the trade-mark as represented in the register – both in respect of the goods and services registered and the specifi c appearance of the trademark. What is the effect if the use is limited to a part of the registered goods or services or, alternatively, if distinctive elements of the specifi c trademark are omitted? Q218 will equally ad-dress the question of how to prove use, e.g. by way of advertising material and sales fi gures or, alterna-tively, survey evidence. Finally, this Question will deal with the consequences if a mark has not been put to genuine use within a prescribed period and whether a trademark owner can cure this vulnerable position if she can rely on a proper reason for not having put her mark to genuine use or by starting to use the mark in a genuine way after a prescribed period or by re-registering the trademark.

The availability of injunctive relief is fundamental to the protection of Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs) as exclusive rights. However, the 2006 decision of the US Supreme Court in eBay v Merc-Exchange demonstrat-ed, at least with regard to permanent injunctions in the United States that an injunction will not necessarily be granted as a matter of course even if fi ndings of both validity and infringement have been made. This Question will, therefore, examine the conditions upon which injunctions - both permanent and provisional ones - are available to protect IPRs. Specifi cally, Q219 will consider in detail the circumstances in which an injunction either must be granted or will not be avail-able following a fi nding of validity and infringement. This Question will also consider the extent to which an element of judicial discretion applies to the grant of an injunction and whether there are any specifi c consid-erations relevant to particular IP holders, in particular Non-Practicing Entities (NPEs) which use patents not as a basis for producing and selling goods, but for the primary purpose of obtaining license fees. More-over, Q219 will look at the scope of an injunction a court may be prepared to grant, in particular whether a Court has only the power to grant an injunction against named parties in the proceedings or potential infringers more generally; and whether a Court has only the power to grant an injunction which prevents the specifi c infringing acts or which prevent infringe-ment of the relevant IPR more generally.

Pharmaceutical research, while essential to the prog-ress of society, is very expensive. Recent studies sug-gest that it takes approximately 10 to 15 years, and on average more than $1.3 billion (US) to develop a new drug. There are many failures along the way, and many promising compounds are abandoned. In some cases, compounds developed for one purpose are later found to be useful for another purpose. If such compounds can be developed for the second use, valuable resources, and more importantly, time can be saved in order to provide these new medicines to society.

However, incentives are needed for companies to make the necessary research investments to provide these life saving medicines to society. Patents on the mol-ecule per se are no longer possible, as this will have happened after the original use was discovered, and in any event the compound would have likely been the subject of numerous publications. While protection of second medical uses is available in many countries in some form (e.g., the United States, the countries of the European Patent Convention, Japan, China, South Ko-rea, Australia, Canada), it is not available in others, (e.g., India, the countries of the Andean Pact, Egypt, Pakistan). These latter countries are often ones that have large unmet medical needs, for which new uses of known molecules may provide a solution.

Further, some countries which allow for patent protec-tion for second medical uses exempt medical practi-tioners and others from infringement sanctions. If the exemption is too broad, it may also provide a dis-incentive to investment in research for new uses of known molecules.

The purpose of this workshop will be to survey the laws of the various countries and to examine these issues to determine best practices for providing incentives for investing in new uses of known compounds.

This topic is very signifi cant in the pharma sector. There are a number of implications associated with having a regime of patent linkage. Some countries have implemented a limited patent linkage regime, while others abhor it. It is important to take a status update on this front as well as analyze the implications of having such a regime or otherwise. This matter is of signifi cant relevance to India since it has been agi-tated before the Delhi High Court and it has denied such a linkage under the existing law, holding that patent linkage is a policy decision to be taken by the Government. The Supreme Court of India, while not admitting the appeal against this judgment, has left the question of law open, thereby allowing for the pos-sibility that this question may be re-agitated in another appropriate circumstance.

Geographical Indications (GIs) are indicative of the region from which a particular quality of goods or ser-vices originates. For instance, BASMATI is indicative of a geographical reference to a particular quality of rice originating from India and / or Pakistan. GIs as an intellectual property instrument give rights to the people who produce those products in a specifi ed re-gion to stop others from using the geographical name in marketing products which did not originate from the defi ned areas. GIs have been put into practice in many western countries but have yet to be effectively exploited in developing countries where traditional goods (agricultural or non-agricultural) have been in existence for centuries. This workshop will provide an overview of the nature, scope and function of GIs and the international context for GI protection. It is also in-tended to create awareness about GIs and to highlight the potential GIs offer as a tool for producers in devel-oping countries to develop markets for their products.

Forum Workshop VInventorship for multinational inventions

involving IP issues resulting from outsourcing

Moderator: • Lawrence Welch – Eli Lilly and Company, USASpeakers: • Jeff Ranck – Microsoft Corporation (India) Pvt.

In today’s global economy, researchers are collabo-rating on multinational projects often resulting in in-ventions with inventors from more than one country. However, the laws in the United States, Europe, Japan, China, and India, for example, vary on key points, such as:

• Security clearances and/or requirements for fi ling fi rst in the country where the invention is made;

• Inventor remuneration; and• The defi nition and application of the rules of

inventorship.

For example, while security clearance provisions are provided in the US, China, India, South Korea, and certain European countries (e.g., UK, Spain, Germa-ny), there are no security provisions in other countries like Japan, Canada, Australia, Mexico, Taiwan, and certain other European countries (e.g., Austria, Czech Republic, Slovak Republic, Cyprus, Switzerland).

Similarly, inventor’s remuneration is not required, in, for example, the United States and India; but it can be required in Japan, China, Europe and South Korea. However, the nature and amount of such compensa-tion can vary greatly by country.

The sanctions for failure to comply with these provi-sions vary greatly as well, including potentional loss of patent rights and criminal sanctions. And, while some countries allow for excuses for inadvertent errors, oth-ers do not.

The signifi cance of interim relief in IP infringement cases is growing. The workshop will explore claims under patent, trademark and copyright law. In par-ticular, it will cover interim injunctions and compare the requirements that have to be shown for successful action.

Moderator: • Benedetta Ubertazzi – University of Macerata, ItalySpeakers: • Kamal Puri – WIPO QUT Master of IP Law

Programme QUT, Australia• Pedro de Miguel Asensio – University Complutense

of Madrid (UCM), Spain• P. Pushpangadan – Amity Institute for Herbal and

Biotech Products Development (AIHBPD), India

This workshop will explore the developments in inter-national law regarding indigenous rights, including various forms of cultural heritage, genetic resources and associated indigenous knowledge, and how this may impact upon the protection of intellectual property rights. The workshop will also consider key develop-ments in some selected countries that may offer some indication of the challenges – as well as opportunities – that confront governments today. Finally, the work-shop will discuss what lessons can be learned from these initiatives and international law developments.

Forum Workshop IVHow to reconcile indigenous rights with

the protection of intellectual property rights

Forum Workshop VISoftware protection strategies – patent, copyright, trademark, design, including

homebrew and jail-breaking

Moderator: • Sanna Wolk – Stockholm University, SwedenSpeakers: • Hirohito Katsunuma – Kyowa Patent & Law Offi ce,

Japan• Michael Fröhlich – Research In Motion (RIM),

Germany• Vincent Sinn – Ericsson GmbH, Germany• Richard Vary – Nokia, UK

The range of computer programs (software) products is very wide – from computer programs for consumer use to programs that control the process in household appliances, cars, phone, etc. Copyright is the basic form of protection for computer programs. Copyright has however been perceived as insuffi cient to protect the technical idea underlying computer programs, and patent protection has increasingly come into focus and been discussed. Today patents for inventions utilizing computer programs are common.

An effi cient protection strategy for software, however, has to explore all IP rights: patent rights for technical solutions provided by the software; copyright for the source code, for interconnection and interaction ele-ments or for the graphic user interface of a program; trademark protection for words and designs used; de-sign rights for software.

The workshop will discuss the conditions for grant and the scope of protection of these various IP rights. The workshop will equally explore questions related to homebrew, embedded software and jail-breaking when developing appliances.

Moderator: • Elisabeth Kasznar Fekete – Momsen, Leonardos

& Cia, BrazilSpeakers: • Marty Schwimmer – Leason Ellis, USA• Jane Mutimear – Bird & Bird, UK• Fred von Lohmann – Google, USA

Social networks opened, among other aspects, a wide new space for the visibility of trademarks. Their role as communication, marketing and digital public relation tools, but also their potential as platforms for infringe-ment cases are growing.

This workshop will explore questions related to social networks and trademark and domain name protection strategies from different angles: what words or design elements are worth registering? What use in social networks can be considered a trademark use to main-tain registrations? Furthermore, different infringement scenarios will be discussed, including the liability of social network operators for infringements committed by their users. Finally, names used in social networks can produce confl icts similar to domain dispute sce-narios. How can these cases be handled?

The session will address trends and available remedies and also share practical experiences about new trade-mark issues arising in the virtual world.

Forum Workshop VIITwitter®, Facebook® and other social networks – implications on trademark

and domain name protection

The issues are many and varied, and involve matters of patent law, labor law, and national security. The purpose of this workshop will be to survey the various laws in key jurisdictions, and to propose best practices for countries seeking to foster research. Such best practices might include: a common understanding and defi nition of inventorship; simplifi cation of fi rst fi ling rules to eliminate issues not involving national secu-rity; removal from foreign fi ling licenses of areas of technology not related to national defense; retroactive licenses for inadvertent errors; and allowing inventor compensation to be controlled by employed inventor agreements.

The opportunity for the Ladies to gather at AIPPI meet-ings has become a tradition over the last few years. Of course, a women-only event will be organized as part of the next Forum and ExCo in Hyderabad where all the female participants (members and non members of the Association) will be most welcome.

Previous meetings have been very enjoyable and suc-cessful. We have had large attendances and it was clear that the participants wanted further opportunities to get to know each other, to share experiences and to foster a women’s network within the IP profession.

Our Women in IP meetings are informal, friendly and relaxed. We gather in a pleasant location and enjoy some nice refreshments. These meetings give partici-pants the opportunity to mingle, chat and make new acquaintances from all over the world and from a wide variety of professional backgrounds.

We hope to see you all in Hyderabad, Ladies!

Don’t miss the special treatments for Ladies only.

Forum Workshop VIIIBorder measures and goods in transit

Moderator: • Donald MacOdrum – Lang, Michener, CanadaSpeakers: • Manoj Menda – India• Klaus Haft - Reimann Osterrieth Köhler Haft,

Hilliard & Geraldson LLP, USA• Graciela C. Perez de Inzaurraga – Hausheer

Belgrano & Fernández, Argentina

Resolution Q208, adopted by AIPPI in Buenos Aires in 2009, recommended, among other principles, that border measures should be available for all forms of IP right infringements as recognized under the laws of the relevant national or regional jurisdictions. Al-though considered in Buenos Aires, the issue whether an IP owner or an interested party may oppose infring-ing goods in transit deserves further study; at present, there is no obligation for the WTO member states to apply suspension procedures to the release into free circulation of goods in transit.

Should customs intervene when the goods are covered by an intellectual property right in the country of tran-sit, but do not have such protection in the importing and/or exporting country? Cases where drugs have been retained while in transit in Rotterdam have been discussed both at international and domestic levels by the competent organizations. In this regard, two cases are pending before the ECJ. Moreover, the recently enacted ACTA provides that a party may adopt or maintain procedures with respect to suspect in-transit goods, defi ned by this Agreement as goods under cus-toms transit or transshipment.

This session will address the current statutory law and case law in different jurisdictions and discuss the le-gal and practical impacts of in-transit enforcement in the context of the territoriality and freedom of trade dichotomy. It will consider the issues from the IP right owner’s, exporter’s and importer’s points of view and provide a possibility to raise other questions regarding boarder measures that call for development.

Hyderabad

Hyderabad was founded by the fi fth Sultan of Gol-conda in 1591. Built around Lake Hussain Sagar, it has a curious mix of the old and the new; a city of synthesis, where the north and the south meet, as do its Hindu and Muslim cultural strains. Medieval Indian, Saracenic, Mughal and colonial architecture create an exuberance and richness in this city of Nizams, who were considered to be the richest in the world. The city was once noted for the diamonds of Golconda (Kohi-noor was mined here) and for the gracious living of its inhabitants. The British developed a cantonment and named it Secunderabad. Hyderabad still boasts of a quiet charm in the midst of its architectural wonders & a bustling modern city. Pace of life here is still serene and leisurely.

Hyderabad was a medieval Deccan kingdom that rose to fame under the wealthy infl uence of the Croesus-rich Nizams. Its later subjugation by the British resulted in a legacy of fi ne buildings which, along with the cities re-fi ned culture, is best described in William Dalrymple’s book, “The White Mughals”.

Old city of Hyderabad

Charminar (four-minaretted arched gateway) is located in the heart of the old city, this magnifi cent edifi ce built by Sultan Mohammad Quli Qutab Shah, is the unique symbol of Hyderabad. A small mosque is located on the roof of the edifi ce. All around the Charminar is a bustling bazaar of pearl and jewellery shops, perfume and attar dealers. Close by is the Laad Bazaar or the bangle alley with rows of shops selling lacquer and glass bangles.

The Charminar was built in 1591 and now dominates the old city. This monumental landmark has 180 ft minarets

Mecca Masjid - The few bricks from Mecca which are embedded in the walls of this impressive mosque, give it its name. Originally started by Sultan Mohammad Quli Qutab Shah, it was completed by the Mughal Em-peror Aurangazeb in the 17th century. It is the largest mosque in the twin cities and can accommodate upto 10,000 worshippers at prayer.

Historic Hyderabad

Golconda Fort - founded in the 13th century, was re-built by the Qutab Shahis, who in 1525 made it their capital. It was they who laid out its splendid monu-ments and parks, and designed the famous acoustic system by which a handclap sounded at the gates can be heard right up at the citadel. About a kilometer from the Golconda fort are the tombs of the Qutab Shahi rulers. The tombs are domed structures built on a square base surrounded by pointed arches. The gal-leries of the smaller tombs are of a single storey while the larger ones are usually two-storied. In the centre of each tomb is a sarcophagus that overlies the actual burial vault in a crypt below. The domes were origi-nally overlaid with blue and green tiles of which now only a few pieces remain.

In close vicinity of Golconda Fort are the tombs of the seven Qutub Shahi Kings.
