What weekend could fail to be brightened by a jaunt around the IP blogs?
Patents
FOSS Patents published two articles on IP in China, one on a decision of the Supreme People’s Court affirming jurisdiction over global FRAND rates, and another on the country’s response to the EU’s recent expression of SEP/FRAND case law concerns at the WTO.
Over on Comparative Patent Remedies, Tom Cotter reported on a precedential decision of the US Federal Circuit which reaffirmed that Section 287 (the patent marking statute) requires actual notice of infringement for damages to apply.
Keeping with the US theme, the IP Watchdog recently released its IPR (inter partes review) Intelligence report, covering PTAB filing activity, with the latest article revealing that almost one third of IPR proceedings are settled.
Trade marks
The IP Watchdog also covered the conditions upon and significance of third-party usage evidence in a likelihood of confusion analysis under US law, according to the Du Pont factors.
Other
India’s Parliamentary Standing Committee Report on IP reform drew further attention from Spicy IP, with a post covering the report’s recommendations on IPR and traditional knowledge.
