IP Seminar -16.05.2019 – Divergent standards of IP protection in the post-TRIPS era
Intellectual Property Seminar – 16 May 2019, 14.30 – 17.30
Institute of Law Studies, Polish Academy of Sciences, Warsaw
Title: Divergent standards of IP protection in the post-TRIPS era
Time: 16 May 2019, 14.30 – 17.30
Place: Institute of Law Studies Polish Academy of Sciences, Nowy Świat 72, Warsaw,
room (no. 273), 2-nd floor
Speakers:
Shubha Ghosh (Syracuse University) Exhaustion of IP rights
Elżbieta Traple (Jagiellonian University) TRIPS standards and ‘new public’ theory as European copyright acquis
Karolina Sztobryn (University of Łódź) Unstandardized protection of non-conventional trademarks after TRIPS
Łukasz Żelechowski (Warsaw University) Legal framework of combating unfair competition in an international and comparative perspective: room for standardization among diversity?
Żaneta Pacud (Institute of Law Studies at the Polish Academy of Sciences) Protection of regulatory data in TRIPS and after TRIPS
Introduction into the seminar: By establishing minimum requirements of protection for intellectual property rights the TRIPS Agreement has changed the landscape of IP worldwide. The notion of IP standards has become a commonly accepted concept (not to say a standard) in the legal doctrine. The minimum requirements provided in TRIPS do not lead however to a full standardization – they are divergent in many aspects. It is thus the aim of the seminar to present and discuss chosen aspects of both standards and lack of standards in the protection of IP.
How are the TRIPS minimum requirements regulated in particular fields of IP? Are the mandated standards always implemented into national laws? What aspects of intellectual property are left to the discretion of national or regional authorities and where the standardization is the most far-reaching? Finally, what standardization instruments have been used in IP since TRIPS? These and other questions will inspire our discussion.
We would like to invite academics, PhD candidates, students and practitioners interested in the law of intellectual property to participate in our seminar.
Seminar admission is free of charge.

Basic information:
8th and 9th October 2018 the Polish Patent Office together with the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Polish Society for Intellectual Property and Competition Law will hold the conference titled „Rethinking patent law as an incentive to innovation”.

With this conference we also take the opportunity to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the first modern Polish patent statute and the establishment of the Polish Patent Office.
We would be honoured if you could participate in this event. The conference is intended to be an international event. We hope it will bring together academics, practitioners and policy makers as well as representatives of various business sectors. The purpose of the conference is to discuss patent law’s primary function of stimulating innovation. The speakers will consider this issue from various perspectives. They will look at both – substantive and procedural law issues, such as patentable subject matter, the scope of patent protection as well as patent remedies and models of patent enforcement. The conference panels will be organised around specific sectors such as pharmaceuticals, agriculture as well as ICT. We would also like to look at the influence of AI on patent law.
We very much hope that the conference will offer networking opportunities and foster vibrant debate among participants from all over the world. We would also like to use this event as an inspiration for further international patent conferences which we plan to organise in the future, possibly on annual basis.
