The AIPPI Bureau decides on ExCo Meeting’s Agendas, in general, one year before the Meeting takes place and notifies the same to each National Group. Each Group then forms a Working Committee to discuss the selected Agendas and draws up a representing view thereon. AIPPI Executive Members discuss these different interpretations of the Agendas presented by the National Groups at the ExCo Meeting so as to reach Final Resolutions, which, in many times, the WIPO or Intellectual Property Offices around the world take into consideration when making policies or drafting legislation. Please refer to page 4-9 regarding the detailed contents of this year’s Final Resolutions. Aside from AIPPI Executive Members, from many countries around the world, a number of representatives of Intellectual Property Offices and International Organizations such as WIPO and WTO and those from Non-Governmental Organizations(NGO) including LES, APAA, AIPLA, and FICPI took part as observers in the Meeting, exchanged opinions on the Resolutions and discussed current issues of Intellectual Properties.

In the absence of such arrangements national law regulating co-ownership of IP rights should apply. 3) Legal rules applicable to co-ownership of material goods should only be regarded as a secondary legal authority when applicable to the co-ownership of IP rights. 4) Recognizing the differences among IP rights, and subject to subsequent paragraphs, it is recommended that IP laws provide: a) in the case of a patent, that in the absence of agreement to the contrary, each coowner is entitled to exploit individually the patented invention without the need to obtain consent from other co-owners in respect of that patent. Each co-owner having a right to exploit the patented invention individually should not be obliged to compensate other co-owners unless agreed otherwise or under exceptional circumstances, in particular if one of the co-owners is prevented from exploiting the same patent; b) in the case of trademarks, that each co-owner is not entitled to use individually the mark unless agreed otherwise; c) in the case of copyrights, that each co-owner is not entitled to exploit individually a copyrighted work, unless agreed otherwise. As an exception, co-owners of rights should be allowed to exploit individually their contribution to a composite work, if it can be separated from the overall work. 5) Recognizing the differences among IP rights, it is recommended that: a) No co-owner should be entitled to license patent rights to third parties without the consent of the other co-owners, such consent not to be unreasonably refused. In case of unreasonable refusal, the national law should provide means for the resolution; b) Co-owners wishing to license individually rights on a registered or protected trademark, or a copyrighted work to third parties should require consent from the other co-owners. 6) Each of the co-owners of IP rights should be free to enforce individually the IP right, without the need of consent from the fellow co-owners. However, national legislations should provide for an obligation by the enforcing co-owner to inform the other co-owners. 7) Each co-owner should have the right to renew or otherwise maintain the co-owned IP right, without the need of consent from the other co-owners. National law should provide rules on the allocation of costs of renewal and/or maintenance advanced by one or more of the coowners. 8) Co-owners of an IP right should be allowed to decide on the choice of law and jurisdiction in connection with resolution of disputes among co-owners. 9) It is recommended that AIPPI continue the study of the impact of the co-ownership of IP rights on their exploitation and on the criterion for determining the applicable law and jurisdiction in the absence of an agreement between the co-owners.Question Q195 Resolves that: 1) Limitation of the exclusive rights of the trademark owner should be allowed, under the specific conditions indicated hereinafter, for the use of a sign corresponding totally or partially to another's trademark in the course of trade in order to indicate kind, quality, intended purpose, value, geographical origin, time of production/rendering or other characteristics of the goods or the services of a third party, as well as to indicate compatibility of the third party's goods or services with those of the trademark owner. 2) Limitation of the exclusive rights of the trademark owner should be allowed, under the same conditions, to allow the use of an individual's genuine name in the course of trade. General principles governing settlement of conflicts between trademarks should be applied to disputes arising from the use of a company or business name where it consists totally or partially of another's trademark. 3) The above limitations of the exclusive rights of the trademark owner should only be allowed to the extent that use of another's trademark by a third party: a) does not cause confusion, b) does not unfairly capitalise on, or take undue advantage of, the reputation of the trademark, c) is not detrimental to the trademark, d) does not cause dilution of the trademark, e) does not unfairly disparage the goods or services of the trademark owner, f) does not misrepresent the goods or services of the third party as originating from, endorsed by or being associated with the trademark owner, and g) in the case where the third party use indicates compatibility of the third party’ goods or services with those of the trademark owner, cannot reasonably be replaced by other means of indicating compatibility. 4) Limitations of the exclusive rights of the trademark owner should be allowed for the bona fide prior use of the sign, either in the form of a prior use defence or as a prior user right3.
