Recientemente fue publicada la obra colectiva "Ley Federal de Protección a la Propiedad Industrial comentada por AMPPI", coordinada por Miguel Ángel Ortiz Bahena e Itzel Estrada González.

El libro, editado por Tirant lo Blanch, es resultado de la iniciativa llevada a cabo por la Comisión Editorial de la Asociación Mexicana para la Protección de la Propiedad Intelectual (AMPPI) – grupo mexicano de AIPPI (Association Internationale pour la Protection de la Propriété Intellectuelle).

Como el título sugiere, la obra comprende el análisis de la Ley Federal de Protección a la Propiedad Industrial (LFPPI), misma que entró en vigor el 5 de noviembre de 2020 en México.

A lo largo de la obra, 77 autores (practicantes, académicos y jueces) dilucidan los siete títulos que conforman la LFPPI, así como sus 18 artículos transitorios.

En este sentido, nos complace compartir con nuestros lectores que Verónica Rodríguez Arguijo, miembro del equipo de IPTango, contribuyó a la obra con un capítulo sobre artículos transitorios, la aplicación retroactiva de disposiciones, delitos, responsabilidad penal de las personas morales y el esperado Reglamento de la nueva Ley en México.

A la luz de la publicación de la obra colectiva, el 24 de agosto de 2023 se llevará a cabo una presentación, en el auditorio Antonio Martínez Báez del posgrado de la Facultad de Derecho de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).

Dicha presentación contará con la participación de Alejandro Luna (presidente de AMPPI), Miguel Ángel Ortiz Bahena (coordinador principal de la obra), Carmen Arteaga (directora del seminario de patentes, marcas y derechos de autor de la Facultad de Derecho de la UNAM), Daniela Lucio (miembro de la Comisión Editorial de AMPPI), Itzel Estrada González (coordinadora de la obra y presidenta de la Comisión Editorial de AMPPI) y Sergio Olivares Nieto (presidente del comité de juventud).

[Book Notice] The TRIPS Agreement, Drafting History and Analysis

IPTango May 19, 2021 No comments:

The fifth edition of The TRIPS Agreement, Drafting History and Analysis, written by Professor Daniel Gervais (Vanderbilt University), was recently published.

The book contains “not only a historical view of the drafting history of the TRIPS Agreement but also practical commentary concerning its real-world application today. Some of the changes you will find with this edition include:

Updated and restructured comments on each article of the agreement.
A review of the latest reports by the Appellate Body and dispute-settlement panels.
Updated data on notification under the agreement.
A new section entitled The Life of TRIPS which covers work undertaken at the WTO on the agreement and ongoing discussions, organised by topic, including those on biotechnology, access to medicine, geographical indications and transfers of technology.
New perspectives on the future of TRIPS and its interpretation.
A clearer and easier to navigate format.”

The new edition “comes at a crucial period. It has been substantially updated, restructured and published in the aftermath of the landmark Australia tobacco plain packaging dispute and its subsequent appeals – the single most important case concerning the TRIPS Agreement in recent time”.

The author highlighted that the new edition “is a major rewrite”. It has a new “structure and all article comments updated” as well as a “new foreword by Antony Taubman” (WTO).

The book was published by Sweet & Maxwell. You can order here the print version, here the eBook/ProView version, and here both formats.

The Political Economy of Pharmaceutical Patents in Latin America

Patricia Covarrubia September 26, 2017 No comments:

A new book is hitting the shelves. Prof Kenneth C. Shadlen, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), UK writes to inform us of his new book Coalitions and Compliance: The Political Economy of Pharmaceutical Patents in Latin America. Prof Kenneth teaches Development Studies in the Department of International Development at LSE.

Oxford University Press describes the book as

Coalitions and Compliance examines how international changes can reconfigure domestic politics. Since the late 1980s, developing countries have been subject to intense pressures regarding intellectual property rights. These pressures have been exceptionally controversial in the area of pharmaceuticals. Historically, fearing the economic and social costs of providing private property rights over knowledge, developing countries did not allow drugs to be patented. Now they must do so, an obligation with significant implications for industrial development and public health. This book analyses different forms of compliance with this new imperative in Latin America, comparing the politics of pharmaceutical patenting in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico.

Coalitions and Compliance focuses on two periods of patent politics: initial conflicts over how to introduce drug patents, and then subsequent conflicts over how these new patent systems function. In contrast to explanations of national policy choice based on external pressures, domestic institutions, or Presidents' ideological orientations, this book attributes cross-national and longitudinal variation to the ways that changing social structures constrain or enable political leaders' strategies to construct and sustain supportive coalitions. The analysis begins with assessment of the relative resources and capabilities of the transnational and national pharmaceutical sectors, and these rival actors' efforts to attract allies. Emphasis is placed on two ways that social structures are transformed so as to affect coalition-building possibilities: how exporters fearing the loss of preferential market access may be converted into allies of transnational drug firms, and differential patterns of adjustment among state and societal actors that are inspired by the introduction of new policies. It is within the changing structural conditions produced by these two processes that political leaders build coalitions in support of different forms of compliance

A book about... tango is finished!
Lost in translation...

Prof Ken describes his book as

"a new book on the political economy of pharma patents, examining the debates about introducing new pharma patent systems, when this became compulsory post-TRIPS, and then, once in place, debates over revising how these systems function. The empirics are from three LatAm countries (Argentina, Brazil, Mexico)."

How I describe the book:

"haven’t read it yet…but looks promising."
"A must read."

In the near future will do a review.

To be continued…

Graffiti work - more than creativiy

Patricia Covarrubia November 28, 2016 No comments:

Copyright Beyond Law - Regulating Creativity in the Graffiti Subculture is the title of a new IP book ready for your Christmas Stockings. The title should be interpreted as “it is what it says on the tin”.

Copyright law and the subculture of graffiti are so well interwoven in the book that you forget you are reading a book about law. I noticed this because essentially I do not to take work home and suddenly the book was in my night table and I was engaging on it as it were a novel.

I became more aware of this topic at the Society of Legal Scholars Conference (SLS) 2013 in Edinburgh where I was presenting a paper. Marta Iljadica was presenting also a paper, her topic was ‘Graffiti, copyright and culture: urban space/public domain.’ We then have the opportunity to chat and I found myself totally absorbed by the topic, or perhaps by Marta’s passion for her work. Either way, this is transferred into the book.

Selfie :) my early Christmas present.
Thanks Emma at Hart Publishing

By reading the introduction you understand that the book is not just about copyright and the law – extending theories to graffiti. It starts by using a quote “Graffiti breaks every rule but within itself still has rules” (Anon 29). This clearly tells you that you are going for a ride! I felt myself into different worlds: graffiti the vandalism; graffiti the work capable of copyright protection and even trade mark (see chapter 4); and graffiti and the framework among the graffiti writers (I learnt from the book this word – I used to call them ‘graffiti artists’ –chapter 1 covers the fine line between graffiti writers and street art). Marta manages to emerge you in the graffiti world because her work was based on empirical research and thus, she in a way directs you on how to understand graffiti in its own right rather than fixing it into any other type of copyright work.

The book not only see graffiti as a subject matter of protection under copyright but supervises the expectations that graffiti writers have in the society i.e. use of graffiti outside their cultural environment e.g. photographer, commercial exploitation (used as logo); and on the other hand, the subculture of sharing, creating, attributing, territory (claimed by a graffiti writer), to name a few. Chapters that I enjoyed the most were 7 and 8 ‘Graffiti rules – be original, don’t bite’ and ‘moral rights’. The latter I was not expecting since the book is based on UK – while common law recognises them, it does so up to a lesser extent than civil law jurisdictions.

Who should read this book?
Anyone! colleagues and even friends who are not actually linked to law.
Well done Marta!
