Â Aktiebolaget Volvo -v- Heritage (Leicester) Ltd [2000] FSR 253 2000 Intellectual Property 1 Citers Â Pharmedica GMBH's Trade Mark Application [2000] RPC 536 2000 ChD Pumfrey J Intellectual Property The tribunal was asked whether an assignee of a trademark should be substituted in existing opposition proceedings for the assignor. The assignment had taken place after the proceedings had begun. Held: A tribunal has an inherent power to regulate its own proceedings. Pumfrey J: "Turning to the present case, I must first deal with the question whether the three-month time limit on oppositions was, as the hearing officer decided in this case, … being circumvented. In my judgment, it plainly is not. Once the proceedings are on foot the time limit has ceased to be relevant to those proceedings at all." After referring to Industrie Chimiche Italia Centrale, Pumfrey J continued: "The effect of a substitution is that the party substituted carries on the original proceedings. He does not, by reason of substitution, become entitled to plead, if the pleadings are over, or file evidence, if the evidence is in, otherwise than by making application in the same manner as the original opponent would be obliged to apply if it wished to be allowed to revisit the pleadings or the evidence. No question of circumventing any time limit arises. So I do not think that to permit substitution offends against the requirements of the Act requiring an opposition to be started within three months of publication." 1 Cites 1 Citers Â Â Re Prendergast's Applications; ChD 2000 - [2000] RPC 446 Â Pension Benefits T0931/95 2000 EPOBA European, Intellectual Property The applicant sought a European patent for a method of calculating and controlling pensions benefits. The claim was "1. A method of controlling a pension benefits program by administering at least one subscriber employer account on behalf of each subscriber employer's enrolled employees each of whom is to receive periodic benefits payments, said method comprising: providing to a data processing means information from each said subscriber employer defining the number, earnings and ages of all enrolled employees of the said subscriber employer; determining the average age of all enrolled employees by average age computing means; determining the periodic cost of life insurance for all enrolled employees of said subscriber employer by life insurance cost computing means; and estimating all administrative, legal, trustee, and government premium yearly expenses for said subscriber employer by administrative cost computing means; the method producing, in use, information defining each subscriber employer's periodic monetary contribution to a master trust, the face amount of a life insurance policy on each enrolled employee's life to be purchased from a life insurer and assigned to the master trust and to be maintained in full force and effect until the death of the said employee, and periodic benefits to be received by each enrolled employee upon death, disability or retirement." Held: A computer programmed to carry out the unpatentable method was not within the categories of Art.52(2) – the fact that it was a physical thing ("concrete") was enough to take the case out of Art.52(2). It was really a method of doing business. It also rejected the apparatus claim. It acknowledged the 'technical effect' test: "According to the case law of the boards of appeal the use of the term "invention" in Article 52(1) EPC in conjunction with the so-called "exclusion provisions" of Article 52(2) and (3) EPC, which mention subject-matter that "in particular shall not be regarded as inventions within the meaning of paragraph 1", is understood as implying a "requirement of technical character" or "technicality" which is to be fulfilled by an invention as claimed in order to be patentable. Thus an invention may be an invention within the meaning of Article 52(1) if for example a technical effect is achieved by the invention or if technical considerations are required to carry out the invention . . . Claim 1 of the main request is, apart from various computing means mentioned in that claim, directed to a "method for controlling a pension benefits program by administering at least one subscriber employer account". All the features of this claim are steps of processing and producing information having purely administrative, actuarial and/or financial character. Processing and producing such information are typical steps of business and economic methods. Thus the invention as claimed does not go beyond a method of doing business as such and, therefore, is excluded from patentability under Article 52(2)(c) in combination with Article 52(3) EPC; the claim does not define an invention within the meaning of Article 52(1) EPC." and "The feature of using technical means for a purely non-technical purpose and/or for processing purely non-technical information does not necessarily confer technical character to any such individual steps of use or to the method as a whole: in fact, any activity in the non-technical branches of human culture involves physical entities and uses, to a greater or lesser extent, technical means. . . Methods only involving economic concepts and practices of doing business are not inventions within the meaning of Article 52(1) EPC. A feature of a method which concerns the use of technical means for a purely non-technical purpose and/or for processing purely non-technical information does not necessarily confer a technical character to such a method." 1 Citers Â Surene Pty Ltd -v- Multiple Marketing Ltd C000479899/1 2000 ETMR Intellectual Property (Cancellation Division) (year?) The proprietor, Multiple Marketing, distributed the applicant for revocation's products under the trade mark BE NATURAL. Held: The application had been made in bad faith: "Bad faith is a narrow legal concept in the CTMR system. Bad faith is the opposite of good faith, generally implying or involving, but not limited to, actual or constructive fraud, or a design to mislead or deceive another, or any other sinister motive. Conceptually, bad faith can be understood as a "dishonest intention". This means that bad faith may be interpreted as unfair practices involving lack of any honest intention on the part of the applicant of the CTM at the time of filing. Bad faith can be understood either as unfair practices involving lack of good faith on the part of the applicant towards the Office at the time of filing, or unfair practices based on acts infringing a third person's rights. There is bad faith not only in cases where the applicant intentionally submits wrong or misleading by insufficient information to the Office, but also in circumstances where he intends, through registration, to lay his hands on the trade mark of a third party with whom he had contractual or pre-contractual relations." 1 Citers Â American Home Products Corporation, Professor Roy Calne -v- Novartis Pharmaceuticals UK Limited [2000] RPC 547 2000 ChD Laddie J Intellectual Property A patent was granted for a product, produced by the bacterium streptomyces hygroscopicus, called rapamycin, which was useful to suppress transplant rejection. Because rapamycin was a known product at the priority date, it could not be patented: neither could its use as a treatment, because that would offend section 4(2) of the Patents Act 1977. The claim was for a specific type. Claims for infringement and cross claims for invalidity were heard. Held: The patent had been infringed and the allegation of insufficiency failed. The court refused to make a declaration of non-infringement as sought. 1 Citers Â 'Mobile Computing': Application No 2173295 6 Jan 2000 TMR Mr R Jones Intellectual Property cw Ex Parte Decisions - Trade Marks [ PO ] Â Mark: MOBILE COMPUTING 2173295 6 Jan 2000 TMR Mr R A Jones Intellectual Property IPO Ex Parte.

It is in the nature of such registrations that they reserve to the mark holder the right to develop his activities within the registration class. Trade Marks Act 1994 10 Â eFax Com Inc -v- Oglesby Times, 16 March 2000; Unreported, 25 January 2000 25 Jan 2000 ChD Parker J Intellectual Property The claimant, an American company claimed in passing off against the defendant. It had come into the UK market and established a free service under the name. The defendant had operated a paid for service under the same name from some time before. Held: The claim should proceed, but an interim injunction was refused. In passing off, the words claimed to establish a reputation in the goods had to be more than descriptive. Words which might once have been distinctive could become descriptive by general usage, as had happened in this case. The common stock of language conception was becoming increasingly difficult to apply. Here the use of the word 'efax' had become descriptive. Any confusion or association between the two companies arose from the common meaning of the words and not from any reputation in the name belonging to the claimant.

The defendants operated in the sale of kitchen equipment. Whether a sign infringed a mark without due cause was to be resolved at trial by the judge on the facts. The infringer had to show that he had good cause for his use, and that was not discharged merely by demonstrating good faith. In this case however there was no evidence of any damage to the claimant's Mark's distinctive character or repute.

Held: An implied agreement would bind them as parties or by reason of the source of the documents in their hands. The without prejudice communications were governed by an implied agreement that they will not be used in the current or any subsequent litigation between the same or related parties. It was not appropriate to leave the issue to the foreign court to decide on admissibility, and an injunction was granted against their use. "The present dispute arises between persons who either were parties to the original communications or have obtained the documents from persons who were such parties, and, to the extent that it be relevant, are commercially and corporately connected with such parties. If there was an implied agreement the persons before me are either bound by it as parties or must be taken to be subject to it by reason of the source of the documents in their hands. In my judgment it is very strongly arguable, and indeed probable, that the without prejudice communications are indeed governed by an implied agreement that they will not be used in the current or any subsequent litigation between the same or related parties . . It is correct in my judgment to regard the protection as extending to subsequent litigation because otherwise on the one hand the public policy recognised by Lord Griffiths and other judges and on the other hand the expectation of the parties would not be fulfilled but rather would be subverted. The position may perhaps be different in practice between two parties who are brought together for example by the circumstances of a road accident and may never have anything else to do with each other, but the holders of patents in related areas, whether or not they are to be regarded as competitors, may well, through themselves or their licensees, come up against each other in a number of different commercial circumstances giving rise, not only among the litigation-prone, to several different disputes over time, such that it cannot be assumed that one piece of litigation is the last there will ever be." 1 Cites 1 Citers Â Andrew Webb -v- Sandra Mcgriskin - O/036/00 3 Feb 2000 PO Mr G Bridges Intellectual Property PO Patents - Inter Partes Decisions [ PO ] Â Monsanto and Others -v- Merk & Co Inc and Another [2000] EWHC Patents 154 4 Feb 2000 PatC Intellectual Property [ Bailii ] Â Mark: RINA KETTY ESSENTIAL MUSK & DEVICE 2041042 7 Feb 2000 TMR Mr G Salthouse Intellectual Property IPO Opposition.

If damage was shown, the owner could complain unless it would operate to breach European law. A mark owner could object to the re-application of his mark by such importers only if he had not received notice of such activity. This was irrespective of proof of damage, but knowledge of the importer's activities constituted notice.

The applicants claimed that the burden of proof (Section 100) had not been discharged and asked that the mark be revoked accordingly. Alternatively, they asked that the proprietor be required to file further and better particulars. The Registry accordingly issued an order for disclosure. In the light of the proprietor’s failure to respond to this order, the Hearing Officer considered that the defence of the application should be struck out, and the registration revoked accordingly.

He made an error in entering the diary reminder with the consequence that instructions were given too late. The system in place was a reasonable one but restoration was refused because the system failed for a reason that was within the applicants control. The standard of reasonable care required by s.28(3) should be applied in a consistent and uniform manner; no allowance can be made for the directing minds lack of experience in renewing patents. [ Bailii ] Â L'Oreal (UK) Limited & Another -v- Johnson & Johnson & Another [2000] EWHC Ch 129; [2000] FSR 686 7 Mar 2000 ChD Mr Justice Lightman Intellectual Property The claimant appealed against an order striking out their threat action for trade mark infringement, in respect of the words 'No Tears' when used for children's shampoo. Held: The court had to consider both the letter and the surrounding circumstances. A threat need not be direct, and conditionality may not be an answer. The thrust of the letter was a warning of the possibility in the future of proceedings for infringement, with contingencies on success of other proceedings. The threat was veiled and muffled by protestations of continuing indecision (which did not ring true) but the threat was sufficient (if not designed) to unsettle the Claimants and the threat was of trade mark infringement proceedings in respect of sales within the United Kingdom. Lightman said: "The policy represented by the first statutory threats provision . . was clearly to stop patentees who were (in Pope's words about Addison) 'willing to wound but afraid to strike' from holding the sword of Damocles above another's head . . in summary, the term 'threat' covers any information that would convey to a reasonable man that some person has trade mark rights and intends to enforce them against another. It matters not that the threat may be veiled or covert, conditional or future. Nor does it matter that the threat is made in response to an enquiry from the party threatened . ."

Opposition under Sections 1(1) and 3(1)(a) therefore dismissed. He also found no evidence to support opposition under Section 3(1)(d). Opposition under Sections 3(1)(b) and (c) was, however, upheld since the mark in suit was found to consist of the actual colours of the goods themselves, and thereby descriptive of a characteristic of the goods, whilst the evidence failed to establish that the mark had become distinctive by virtue of the prior use made of it, which was in conjunction with the words SOL-RAPIDE. Opposition under Section 5(2)(b) also upheld, the Hearing Officer finding that the dominant common component of the various marks was the concept of two differently-coloured immiscible liquids, which was not found to be in widespread use throughout the industry, and which meant that a consumer familiar with the opponent's three different colour combinations for identical goods might assume that the applicant's goods are an addition to that range [ Bailii ] Â Miscellaneous (Trade Mark: Opposition) [2000] UKIntelP o11400; O/114/00 23 Mar 2000 IPO M Foley Intellectual Property IPO In considering the opposition under Section 39, the Hearing Officer explained that, following examination by the Trade Marks Registry, the description of the mark was clarified to identify the colours show in an accompanying colour photograph as "yellow and red" rather than "orange and yellow". The opponent contended that this affected the identify of the mark, but it was held that although the colours specified in the description had changed, those on the photograph had not, so that after clarification the mark was the same as that for which registration was originally sought. Opposition under Section 39 was therefore dismissed. In other respects, the decision is identical with SRIS O/113/00, except that the Hearing Officer also found that the applicant's claim to honest concurrent use was not substantiated by the evidence.

A television company which secretly filmed in a company's store could be held to have infringed the privacy of the company by the Broadcasting Standards Commission. The Act went further than the Human Rights Convention in this respect, but there is no reason to limit the extent of the operation of the Act to match the convention. "An infringement of privacy is an affront to the personality, which is damaged both by the violation and by the demonstration that the personal space is not inviolate." Lord Mustill said: "To my mind the privacy of a human being denotes at the same time the personal 'space' in which the individual is free to be itself, and also the carapace, or shell, or umbrella, or whatever other metaphor is preferred, which protects that space from intrusion. An infringement of privacy is an affront to the personality, which is damaged both by the violation and by the demonstration that the personal space is not inviolate."

The proprietor, Emergi-Lite Safety Systems, filed a counter-statement, but the two parties reached a settlement before any evidence was filed. Following the settlement, the applicant sought leave to withdraw from the revocation proceedings. However, acting in the public interest, the Comptroller refused to allow the revocation to be withdrawn because it appeared that the invention as claimed was indeed lacking in novelty and inventiveness. The proprietor declined to amend the patent (which would have expired anyway a few months later) and so it was formally revoked.

Such rights were not reflected in Italian law, and the applicants argued that an Italian court should not enforce such an order, as a breach of the right of free movement of goods. To refuse to recognise a decree of a court of another member state, the court must establish that the law was a misapplication of European law and against public policy. That could not be shown here.

Points Of Interest 1. Costs in proceedings before the Registrar; and on appeal. Summary At first instance (see BL O/372/99) the Hearing Officer had found the opponents partially successful under Section 5(2)(b) and unsuccessful under the remaining rounds. He had directed the applicants to file a revised specification. Both sides appealed against that decision. During the course of the appeal process the applicants had gone into receivership and the assets had been sold to a company which did not wish to pursue the matter. Accordingly, no revised specification had been filed, or would be filed. The original result sought by the opponents had therefore come about. The appointed person therefore made no finding on the merits of the appeals. He awarded costs in respect of the appeals but declined to interfere with the Hearing Officer’s decision to award costs to neither party in respect of the substantive matter.

Europa Article 5(1)(b) of First Directive 89/104 on trade marks cannot be interpreted as meaning that where - a trade mark has a particularly distinctive character, either per se or because of the reputation it enjoys with the public, and - a third party, without the consent of the proprietor of the mark, uses, in the course of trade in goods or services which are identical with, or similar to, those for which the trade mark is registered, a sign which so closely corresponds to the mark as to give rise to the possibility of its being associated with that mark, the exclusive right enjoyed by the proprietor entitles him to prevent the use of the sign by that third party if the distinctive character of the mark is such that the possibility of such association giving rise to confusion cannot be ruled out. The reputation of a mark does not give grounds for presuming the existence of a likelihood of confusion simply because of the existence of a likelihood of association in the strict sense. A positive finding of the existence of a likelihood of confusion, which constitutes the matter to be proved, is necessary. 1 Citers [ Europa ] - [ Europa ] - [ Bailii ] Â 'Smiley': Application No 2048360 OPP 45855 22 Jun 2000 TMR Mr M Foley Intellectual Property cw Inter Partes Decisions - Trade Marks - Opposition [ PO ] Â Mark: Device of a smiling face Series of Two 2048360 22 Jun 2000 TMR Mr M Foley Intellectual Property IPO Opposition.

Much may turn on the public conception of the use. For instance, if you buy Kodak film in Boots and it is put in a bag labelled 'Boots', only a trade mark lawyer might say that 'Boots' is being used as a trade mark for film.

The court should ask if the variation was material, would the variation itself have been obvious, and would a skilled reader have understood that the patent claim required strict compliance with its primary meaning.

The court asked whether a claim to rapamycin should be construed to include derivatives. Held: A person skilled in the art would be unable to say without experimentation that any particular derivative would have an immuno-suppressive effect. Applying the second Protocol question, it would have been absurd to ask whether, assuming that a derivative "worked" in the sense of having an immuno-suppressive effect, it worked "in the same way". That would really be to beg the question. Neither the product nor the process was new: the whole point of the invention was the newly discovered immuno-suppressive effect. 1 Cites 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Taste!

Held: The amount copied, being as much as a quarter of the original work, meant that the claim was indefensible. When considering the grant of an injunction "the right approach is to start with a strong bias in favour of granting an injunction, to be dispelled only if the circumstances of the case clearly make it unjust to do so." This was such an exceptional case. There had been acquiescence, and the claimants were interested only in the financial and not the artistic values. An injunction was refused and an enquiry as to damages ordered. 1 Cites 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Dyson Appliances Ltd -v- Hoover Ltd [2000] EWHC Patents 62; [2001] RPC 26 3 Oct 2000 PatC Fysh QC Intellectual Property 1 Cites 1 Citers [ Bailii ] Â Barry Richardson (Patent) O/368/00; [2000] UKIntelP o36800; GB9710345.1 3 Oct 2000 IPO Mr B Westerman Intellectual Property The application relates to a device said to be propelled by movement of a rotating mass or masses.

No licence was obtained for the performance of the music. They claimed to be "a club, society or other organisation the main objects of which were charitable or otherwise concerned with the advancement of religion, education or social welfare." In effect this was a claim that a local government was a charity. Held: The defence could not succeed. The functions of a local authority would not normally be considered charitable. In this context, ‘social welfare’ was an inappropriate expression to describe such activities. Similarly the term ‘organisation’ in the Act, in this particular phrase, was to be read ejusdem generis with the words ‘club’ and ‘society’. It could not apply to a local authority. The function of a local authority is to carry out the administrative and governmental functions, in respect of its area. The legislature had thought it right to devolve those functions from national government. Those functions might include social welfare, but that was not its main purpose.

Held: He was not obliged when doing so to disclose documents in a manner which would allow their use on a wider basis than for the consideration of the amendment application. Revealing such documents beyond what was required to show the good faith of the assertion of privilege would lead to the loss of that privilege abroad. There was no obligation in modern litigation on a patentee to waive privilege in respect of all such documents. The decision whether to waive privilege was the patentee's, and the court's job was then to decide whether in fact privilege is waived.

Some time after grant, the rights were re-assigned to Matelect and the patent agent who dealt with the re-assignment promised to send them a reminder regarding the next renewal fee payment. The agent did not do so explicitly, but nevertheless wrote to Matelect issuing a general reminder that renewal fees are payable annually. The agent also asked if he should inform the Office of a change in the address for service. On receiving no reply, the agent wrote another three times to Matelect asking whether renewal fees should be paid and if he was to be the address for service. Although Matelect replied concerning other matters in these letters, no instructions were received regarding address for service or The Office’s standard warning letter about overdue renewal fees was therefore not received by Matelect or their agents. Despite the letters from their agent asking for instructions, Matelect had assumed that they would in any case receive the promised reminder from their agent. This was held not to be taking reasonable care in giving instructions and making arrangements for renewing the patent and so the patent was not restored.
