Dear AIPPI US Members,
Happy New Year 2008 to all!
This year promises to be a major event for AIPPI generally and for the US Group of AIPPI in particular as we
prepare for the AIPPI Congress to be held in Boston in September, 2008 (the first Congress in the US since 1975). Our AIPPI colleagues
from all over the world will be coming to Boston to participate in stimulating debates on cutting edge IP topics, to hear renowned speakers
provide the latest news on IP developments, and to network with their counterparts in such settings as Quincy Market and the Museum of Science.
I strongly encourage you to attend this major event as well as to sponsor one or more of the activities. More information is available here
on our association’s website www.aippi-us.org or the general association website at www.aippi-us.org.
In preparation for the Congress, we need to prepare answers to the four (4) current questions by March 31, 2008
(the contents found on the general AIPPI website), namely:
| Q205 |
Exhaustion of IPRs in cases of recycling or repair of goods |
| Q204 |
Liability for contributory infringement of IPRs |
| Q203 |
Damages for infringement, counterfeiting and piracy of trademarks |
| Q202 |
The impact of public health issues on exclusive patent rights |
If you are interested in assisting in the preparation of the answers to these questions from the US law perspective,
please contact me immediately. More to follow. Best regards.
Best regards,
