Regis tration is mandatory: RSVP Sharon Webb\, CIPP\, sharon [dot] webb [at] mcg ill [dot] ca Full program and fees\, AIJA/CIPP: http://www.aija.org/uploa ds/events/11_Montreal_program_web.pdf This year’s topic is the interplay between distribution and intellectual property law. The latter plays an important role in transactions for goods and international trade agreemen ts\, and emerges as a difficult topic in Canada-Europe trade negotiations . Indeed\, intellectual property permeates many transactions\, and has to interact\, sometimes with difficulty\, with conventional property and ot her legal rules governing distribution. For some\, intellectual property is a too onerous charge for the international trade of goods\, while for others it is a powerful tool to organize and control distribution network s. Recently\, both Canadian and US highest courts had to deal with a bell icose intellectual property. In two similar cases\, one concerning the im portation of candy bars (Kraft Canada)\, the other of watches (Omega)\, t he issue was the use of copyright law to exclude a non-affiliated retaile r from the national distribution network. Surprisingly\, the courts have failed to rally the majority and have revived the debate on the role of i ntellectual property in cases involving the distribution of goods. In Eur ope\, the European Court of Justice carries on its work on accommodating intellectual property rights within the priorities of the European market . It recently expressed itself on the distribution of licenses for use on a secondary market (UsedSoft) and on the territoriality of rights concer ning the diffusion of sporting events (Premier League). Such decisions ca n hardly be ignored and are full of insights to anticipate mutations comi ng to our legal system and practices. The objective of this 4th seminar i s to expose research and developments on the role and functions of intell ectual property rights in the distribution of goods. Traditional issues r elated to national and international exhaustion regarding tangible and in tangible goods will be addressed\, as will be the less-known impacts of i ntellectual property rights on technology transfer mechanisms\, that is t he distribution of knowledge. The CIPP event takes place within the two d ays AIJA conference on « Commerce global\, stratégies juridiques locales – Global Distribution and Local Legal Strategies »   DTSTART:20121115T180000Z DTEND:20121115T231500Z LOCATION:CA\, Westin Hotel\, CA\, 270 St Antoine West \n Montreal (Quebec) SUMMARY:Intellectual Property and International Trade in Goods: North-Ameri can and European Perspectives URL:/channels/event/intellectual-property-and-internat ional-trade-goods-north-american-and-european-perspectives-218674 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
