As foreshadowed in our previous Client Alert, the amendments address practical difficulties experienced by intellectual property owners by improving the system for seizing infringing goods, and identifying importers and exporters. Significantly, instead of an IP owner having to press designated owners to forfeit goods, the onus will now be on the designated owner to file a claim for release of the seized goods, failing which the seized goods will be destroyed by Customs. /ALAustraliaCustomsProceduresApr13/ d035db36-bba9-4b3d-9b4f-4991cb22756c Thu, 18 Apr 2013 09:22:57 GMT Raising the Bar - Significant Amendments to Australian Customs Seizure Procedures Publication On 19 March, the US Supreme Court held that the US Copyright Act’s first sale doctrine applies also to copies of copyrighted works that are legally made overseas and imported into the United States without the copyright owner’s permission. /ALIPKirtsaengDecisionMar13/ a8b255a5-04a8-4649-8d7f-08364dc297b3 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 11:22:08 GMT Kirtsaeng Decision Decides Application of First Sale Doctrine to Non-United States Sales Publication /WBIPCustomsSurveillanceMar13/ dd501ab1-a4c2-4bc2-8145-06b8e699e45f Thu, 21 Mar 2013 02:55:26 GMT Customs Surveillance in the US, China and EU Publication Baker & McKenzie was recognized as "Global Law Firm of the Year for Intellectual Property" at the Chambers Global Awards 2013. /ARIPGlobalLawFirmMar13/ 17e95f77-a579-4419-b9b9-324aaf3322ad Mon, 18 Mar 2013 10:03:36 GMT Baker & McKenzie named Chambers Global Law Firm of the Year for IP Publication The Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled in ITV Broadcasting Ltd v TVCatchup Ltd that the live streaming of third party broadcasts requires the permission of the broadcaster, as such retransmission amounts to a "communication to the public" within the meaning of the Information Society Directive. Live streaming services, therefore, may not be able to continue to retransmit without paying licence fees to broadcasters. This ruling is significant as it provides further guidance on the concept of "communication to the public" and seems to be another step in the direction of affording greater protection for authors of copyright works through this right. /ALLondonStreamedInternetRetransmissionsMar13/ d40aea32-fb44-4c8a-b600-ae929fddbb1d Mon, 18 Mar 2013 08:31:46 GMT Broadcasters can Prohibit Streamed Internet Retransmission of Their Broadcasts by the "Communication to the Public" Right
