"The deprivation of property as a penalty for counterfeiting. Essay on the fate of counterfeit goods" by Julien Douillard

In the context of the action in counterfeiting, the legislator has provided sanctions applying to goods counterfeiting an intellectual property right. These sanctions, qualified as deprivation of property, have the effect of limiting the use, or even losing the property of these goods qualified as counterfeit.  However, it appears that the regulation, both legislative and judicial, of these measures is lacking. Judges tend not to give reasons of this optional sanction. Moreover, the destruction of goods can be carried out by customs without any intervention by the judge.          

When it is provisionally ordered, for only alleged counterfeit acts, this sanction can paralyze an activity that is ultimately legitimate. However, the deprivation of property does not appear to be systematically necessary to ensure the respect for an intellectual property right. Since counterfeiting causes only the loss of exclusivity, a prohibiting measure may be sufficient to enforce intellectual property rights. Thus, the scope of the work should be on implementation of such sanctions in order to reconcile at best the two properties, at a time when fundamental rights are gaining more and more influence.

L’enseignant-chercheur en propriété intellectuelle

"L'enseignant chercheur en propriété intellectuelle» : this was the title of a Conference organised in Lille on 3th December 2021 by the Association des jeunes universitaires spécialisés en propriété intellectuelle (JUSPI).

The aim of the event was to highlight the challenges faced by intellectual property lecturers in French and foreign universities. Various academics and practitioners examined the specific features inherent in their field of specialisation and their areas of research.

Directed by Yann Basire and Caroline Le Goffic, this book constitutes the proceedings of that conference. It brings together contributions on the role of teacher-researchers, both within schools of thought and law faculties and in relation to professionals and institutions in the field of intellectual property. It also examines the virtues and dangers of hyperspecialisation, transversality and interdisciplinarity.

Finally, it looks at the renewal of themes and approaches in intellectual property law: digital technology, pop culture, etc. are all factors of openness that intellectual property research professors are seizing upon. This issue combines theoretical and practical insights into the way in which teacher-researchers see their role today.

Contributors to this fourth issue in the Conference Proceedings series include: Yann Basire, Edith Blary-Clément, Alexis Boisson, Sylvain Chatry, Sarah Dormont, Amélie Favreau, Thibault Gisclard, Stéphanie Le Cam, Caroline Le Goffic, Pierre-Emmanuel Moyse, Dariusz Piatek.

Event organized with the support of Novagraaf and Gilliot Avocat

The organization of this conference was initiated several months ago, with a date set prior to Matthew Perry's death. We remain committed to treating this subject with the respect and dignity it deserves.

CEIPI was represented by Yann Basire, Director General of CEIPI, and Laury Pereira, Research Assistant.
 
During the event, Laury Pereira had the opportunity to present the results of her research into counterfeiting via online marketplaces to Christophe Blanchet, MP (President of the CNAC), Pascal Faure, Managing Director of INPI France, and other key players in the fight against counterfeiting.
 
This work, carried out in collaboration with INPI, puts forward a number of proposals aimed at strengthening the fight against online counterfeiting. They seek to respond to the concerns of rights holders, focusing on the prosecution of cyber counterfeiters, the transparency of online marketplaces and their accountability.

For more information, see the press release below.

This first publication in CEIPI's new “Mélanges Collection” was edited by Yann Basire, CEIPI's Director General, and Flora Donaud, Doctor of Law and Lawyer.

François Greffe, a member of the Paris Bar, honorary professor at CEIPI where he taught for 40 years, and author of the Traité des dessins et des modèles, regularly updated and awarded a prize by the Académie des Beaux-Arts, was recognised as one of France's leading specialists in design law.

His contribution to intellectual property law is invaluable.

Over the past 60 years, François Greffe has not merely witnessed the development of design law, but has been one of its main protagonists, with the recognition of his commitment to the entire design industry extending far beyond the boundaries of the intellectual property world.

It was therefore logical, legitimate, if not expected, that a book should pay tribute to him. This has now been done with these Mélanges, which bring together authors from all over Europe (France, Benelux, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Poland and Russia) to discuss the issues of multiple protection and multiple forms, both in the light of current case law and in the light of the forthcoming European reform of design law.

Jean-Marc Deltorn, professeur au CEIPI, fera partie du jury qui récompensera des entreprises dont la démarche de propriété industrielle est exemplaire.
