Details

The rapporteur maintained his compromise proposal which would simplify the free movement of spare parts to be used for repair. Commissioner Bangemann stated that he could accept the rapporteur’s amendments. In particular, as regards the repair clause, the Commissioner reiterated the condition imposed at first reading, namely the reinforcement of the guarantee for the holder of a design right so that he would receive remuneration for the use of his design by a third party.

Details

The Council had held an in-depth debate on the proposal for a directive. Significant progress had been made on the basis of a proposal for an overall compromise text put forward by the presidency. However, it had not been possible to find a solution to the most controversial problem, namely the so-called repairs clause. While all the Member States would have been capable of accepting the presidency compromise text as part of an overall package – the content of the agreement being to defer temporarily any relevant harmonisation of national legislation – the Commission was not to be won over, given that this solution was fundamentally out of line with its amended proposal, as based on an amendment tabled by Parliament. In the light of the position adopted by the Commission with respect to this clause, unanimous agreement by the Member States on the overall compromise text would have been necessary in order to adopt a common position. This unanimity had not been possible, given that one Member State had been unable to accept another aspect of the overall compromise, namely the exhaustion of rights. The presidency therefore recorded that no common position could be agreed on at that particular juncture, while at the same time keeping its proposal for an overall compromise on the table.

Details

This additional opinion covered all of the other questions raised by the Commission. In particular, a number of articles could be worded better to avoid problems of interpretation. The Committee also made the following recommendations: - it was important to check whether the general requirements set out in the regulation were compatible with Article 25 of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, including trade in counterfeit goods; - the ‘date’ on which a design was made available to the public should be more definite and its geographical scope identified; - since it was difficult to determine the reference date indicating the duration of protection, it was suggested that the holder of an unregistered Community design should be required to communicate the date from which protection was effective; - one article empowered the holder of an unregistered design to prevent any third party from using an identical design resulting from ‘copying’. This provision was only acceptable if the burden of proof was reversed; - registration of designs with deferred publication was of interest. Consideration should be given to granting all the rights conferred by registered designs even in the case of registration of a design with deferred publication; - one provision established presumption of validity in that a Community design was to be considered new within the meaning of Article 5 provided the holder submitted evidence of its individual character. It was practically impossible to satisfy this requirement as the proposed provisions constituted a reversal of the burden of proof against the defendant counterclaimant, i.e. the possible counterfeiter, rather than the right holder; - provision was made for a Community Design Court to enjoin a counterfeiter to provide information on the origin of counterfeit products. A supplementary provision should be inserted, allowing the holder of a registered or unregistered design to initiate an action to seek information, independently of any action concerning the counterfeit, as was possible under German law. This would enable the holder to secure information of value in identifying the source of the copy, in other words the element of intent.

In particular, a number of articles could be worded better to avoid problems of interpretation. The Committee also made the following recommendations: - it was important to check whether the general requirements set out in the regulation were compatible with Article 25 of the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, including trade in counterfeit goods; - the ‘date’ on which a design was made available to the public should be more definite and its geographical scope identified; - since it was difficult to determine the reference date indicating the duration of protection, it was suggested that the holder of an unregistered Community design should be required to communicate the date from which protection was effective; - one article empowered the holder of an unregistered design to prevent any third party from using an identical design resulting from ‘copying’. This provision was only acceptable if the burden of proof was reversed; - registration of designs with deferred publication was of interest. Consideration should be given to granting all the rights conferred by registered designs even in the case of registration of a design with deferred publication; - one provision established presumption of validity in that a Community design was to be considered new within the meaning of Article 5 provided the holder submitted evidence of its individual character. It was practically impossible to satisfy this requirement as the proposed provisions constituted a reversal of the burden of proof against the defendant counterclaimant, i.e. the possible counterfeiter, rather than the right holder; - provision was made for a Community Design Court to enjoin a counterfeiter to provide information on the origin of counterfeit products. A supplementary provision should be inserted, allowing the holder of a registered or unregistered design to initiate an action to seek information, independently of any action concerning the counterfeit, as was possible under German law. This would enable the holder to secure information of value in identifying the source of the copy, in other words the element of intent. type: Economic and Social Committee: opinion, report body: ESC

Significant progress had been made on the basis of a proposal for an overall compromise text put forward by the presidency. However, it had not been possible to find a solution to the most controversial problem, namely the so-called repairs clause. While all the Member States would have been capable of accepting the presidency compromise text as part of an overall package – the content of the agreement being to defer temporarily any relevant harmonisation of national legislation – the Commission was not to be won over, given that this solution was fundamentally out of line with its amended proposal, as based on an amendment tabled by Parliament. In the light of the position adopted by the Commission with respect to this clause, unanimous agreement by the Member States on the overall compromise text would have been necessary in order to adopt a common position. This unanimity had not been possible, given that one Member State had been unable to accept another aspect of the overall compromise, namely the exhaustion of rights. The presidency therefore recorded that no common position could be agreed on at that particular juncture, while at the same time keeping its proposal for an overall compromise on the table.

Commissioner Bangemann stated that he could accept the rapporteur’s amendments. In particular, as regards the repair clause, the Commissioner reiterated the condition imposed at first reading, namely the reinforcement of the guarantee for the holder of a design right so that he would receive remuneration for the use of his design by a third party.
