 Frequently Asked Questions Why is the Commission presenting initiatives on intellectual property rights (IPR)? Intellectual property rights (IPRs) are one of the main ways that businesses, creators, researchers and inventors can profit from their investment in know-how and creation. Patents, trademarks, geographical indications, designs, and copyrights are essential incentives for creativity and innovation; they enrich the possibilities of choice for the consumer and reinforce job creation in the European economy (see also the fact sheet on the protection of intellectual property). Sectors that use large amounts of IPR represent around 42% of the European Union's (EU) GDP, worth around € 5.7 trillion per year; they create 38% of jobs and contribute almost 90% to European exports. As competition between companies at the global level is increasingly played out in terms of innovation, creativity and quality, IPR protection is essential for companies, and in particular for SMEs which ...

 SEE THE JUDGMENT HERE The Supreme Court declares the nullity of the Spanish industrial design consisting of applying the Aragonese cachirulo (scarf) print to a tubular garment or neck warmer due to lack of novelty and lack of singular character, ordering the cancellation of the same in the Spanish Office of Patents and trademarks.

Therefore, the novelty of a design is not subject to the products to which it can be incorporated or applied, but what ...

 The Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (“Paris Convention”) signed in 1883 establishes a series of general principles applicable to the different industrial property regimes, among which are the principles of territoriality and priority. By virtue of the principle of territoriality, industrial property rights (patents, trademarks, industrial designs, etc.) have a limited geographical scope. In this way, in the event that the holder of a right wants to have protection in different countries, it is necessary to register the right in question in the corresponding territories. The same Paris Convention regulates the right of priority, which allows all applications for industrial property rights made within a specific period on the same object to be understood as presented on the date of the first application. This implies, among other issues, that the events that occur after the submission of the first application do not affect subsequent applications, given t...

Multiplayer games and tournaments now offer cash prizes, adding to the excitement of the competition. A valid credit card or payment account is required to participate. And, for example, a player must live in a state or country that does not have laws against online gambling for money. Game leagues become professional and run tournaments with cash prizes worth more than $ 100,000 in cash. These events are seen as opportunities for business development and marketing. Hardware giants like Intel support gaming races and see games around the world as a lucrative way to promote their products. High-stakes gaming competitions are in high demand, but the real fights take place behind the scenes, in which companies spend millions trying to put their technology directly in the hands of players. Professional games have taken the world by storm and LAN tournaments are high, with few players earning a living just by competing. A professional player with a sponsorship plan in place can earn up to ...
