What Intellectual Property Rights Will Be Involved In The Exhibition?

Now, with

With the development of the Convention and exhibition economy, many related problems have emerged.

One of them is the intellectual property issue which the exhibitors generally do not attach importance to.

Then, what intellectual property rights issues will be involved in the exhibition?

I. intellectual property infringement in exhibitions

1. exhibition infringement

Location, content,

The exhibition is completely unanimous.

As long as an exhibition is well done, there is no analysis of the economic base, regional market and purchasing power. Instead of carrying out blindly analysis on how to put human resources into the exhibition, others will cause too many and over the same exhibitions, good exhibitions will be diverted, and poor exhibitions will be sued and disorderly competition.

Price competition makes exhibitors and spectators at a loss, resulting in the so-called "exhibition bubble".

2. exhibits infringement

China's exhibitors have infringed on their products or infringed on their products patent, whether in China or abroad.

Instead of displaying the products that someone else has applied for patents, they are plagiarized and plagiarized.

The intellectual property disputes that may be involved in the exhibition are mostly in two aspects of patents and trademarks. The common characteristics of the two are exclusivity. No matter whether patents or trademarks are obtained after legal procedures, they are protected by law, and the owners have exclusive rights.

Without the permission of the right holder, no person shall be allowed to use, produce, sell or import and export patented products and products with the same trademark for the purpose of production and operation. Otherwise, they will be infringed and be punished by law.

3. Software Infringement

The phenomenon of the use of pirated software has existed in exhibitions held in China.

It is shown that the use of pirated software and exhibits using pirated software and the sale of pirated compact discs are displayed on the spot for demonstration purposes.

According to China's current laws, regulations and regulations, it is very difficult for the executive authorities to deal with all kinds of intellectual property disputes directly and effectively during the exhibition. One important reason is that the duration of exhibition is usually only a few days, and the general administrative and administrative procedures can not be adapted.

As an important growth point of China's economy, exhibition industry has gained great vitality. But if we fail to properly handle all kinds of disputes arising from intellectual property rights, it will seriously affect the healthy development of the industry.

So, for all parties, how can we avoid intellectual property disputes?

Two, measures to avoid intellectual property disputes

First, for exhibition organizers, the exhibits must be strictly examined.

Before the exhibition is released, the organizing committee asks the exhibitors to check in advance, and the products that are questionable or not sure can not be shipped. The sensitive products need to provide product patents or related certification before the exhibition, just in case.

Level checks and responsibilities.

Each group is responsible for the respective sub committees under the leadership of the Organizing Committee and strictly checks them.

All exhibitors need to sign intellectual property rights guarantee for exhibitors.

Exhibitors and units that have problems, if there is any infringement, will stop their next qualification.

Second, for the government, formulate relevant laws and regulations, and establish the operation mechanism of the exhibition economy marketization.

The exhibition will be incorporated into the legal system.

We should establish a trademark registration and brand certification system, and protect the intellectual property rights of exhibitions in accordance with the law.

By assisting the organizers of the exhibition to formulate intellectual property protection provisions, rules or articles of association during the exhibition period, these Provisions, rules or articles of association shall be used as the annex of the contract organizers and exhibitors, which will restrict the behavior of exhibitors. At the same time, the industry self-discipline mode is introduced, and the exhibition intellectual property protection committee composed of government departments, industry associations and lawyers shall be established to establish a quick handling mechanism for intellectual property complaints.

Third, exhibitors

For example, we should do the following things well.

First of all, we need to search for new products on the exhibition, search for new products in time and apply for patents in order to get the "birth certificate". In addition, the enterprises do a good job of "historical records" of the items they display. Secondly, we should avoid conflicts in the exhibition and save them in time.
