Regis tration is mandatory: RSVP Sharon Webb\, CIPP\, sharon.webb [at] mcgill.ca Full program and fees\, AIJA/CIPP: http://www.aija.org/uploads/events/11 _Montreal_program_web.pdf This year’s topic is the interplay between dis tribution and intellectual property law. The latter plays an important ro le in transactions for goods and international trade agreements\, and eme rges as a difficult topic in Canada-Europe trade negotiations. Indeed\, i ntellectual property permeates many transactions\, and has to interact\, sometimes with difficulty\, with conventional property and other legal ru les governing distribution. For some\, intellectual property is a too one rous charge for the international trade of goods\, while for others it is a powerful tool to organize and control distribution networks. Recently \, both Canadian and US highest courts had to deal with a bellicose intel lectual property. In two similar cases\, one concerning the importation o f candy bars (Kraft Canada)\, the other of watches (Omega)\, the issue wa s the use of copyright law to exclude a non-affiliated retailer from the national distribution network. Surprisingly\, the courts have failed to r ally the majority and have revived the debate on the role of intellectual property in cases involving the distribution of goods. In Europe\, the E uropean Court of Justice carries on its work on accommodating intellectua l property rights within the priorities of the European market. It recent ly expressed itself on the distribution of licenses for use on a secondar y market (UsedSoft) and on the territoriality of rights concerning the d iffusion of sporting events (Premier League). Such decisions can hardly b e ignored and are full of insights to anticipate mutations coming to our legal system and practices. The objective of this 4th seminar is to expos e research and developments on the role and functions of intellectual pro perty rights in the distribution of goods. Traditional issues related to national and international exhaustion regarding tangible and intangible g oods will be addressed\, as will be the less-known impacts of intellectua l property rights on technology transfer mechanisms\, that is the distrib ution of knowledge. The CIPP event takes place within the two days AIJA conference on « Commerce global\, stratégies juridiques locales – Global Distribution and Local Legal Strategies »   DTSTART:20121115T180000Z DTEND:20121115T231500Z LOCATION:CA\, Westin Hotel\, 270 St Antoine West \n Montreal (Quebec) SUMMARY:Intellectual Property and International Trade in Goods: North-Ameri can and European Perspectives URL:/law/channels/event/intellectual-property-and-inte rnational-trade-goods-north-american-and-european-persp END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
