Il termine “copyright” comprende l'insieme delle prerogative appartenenti all'autore che mirano a tutelare il diritto di rivendicare la paternità dell'opera e il diritto di utilizzazione economica dell'opera attraverso la pubblicazione, l'utilizzo, la riproduzione, la distribuzione e la diffusione della creazione. Questo episodio è realizzato all'interno del progetto Innov8 di Will Media e co-finanziato da EUIPO, l'agenzia dell'Unione europea responsabile della gestione dei marchi e delle indicazioni geografiche per prodotti artigianali e industriali, nonché della gestione dell'Osservatorio europeo sulle violazioni dei diritti di proprietà intellettuale. Insieme a Giovanni Trabucco, phd & Senior Associate di Hogan Lovells, abbiamo parlato di come determinare chi detiene la proprietà intellettuale sulle creazioni dell'AI, lo sviluppo di nuove normative che tengano conto delle specificità di queste opere/invenzioni, e di come definire il perimetro d'azione dei sistemi di AI nell'uso di opere già prodotte da altri per fare training.

McDonald's vient de perdre une bataille. En effet, le Tribunal de première instance des Communautés européennes (TPICE), qui siège à Luxembourg, a retiré au géant de la restauration rapide le droit de nommer "Big Mac" tous ses produits à base de volaille. Une décision qui vaut pour les 27 pays membres de l'UE.Elle est l'aboutissement d'un long processus judiciaire, qui remonte à 2017. Cette année-là, Supermac's, une chaîne de restauration rapide irlandaise, conteste l'attribution exclusive de l'appellation "Big Mac" aux plats à base de poulet servis par McDonald's.Le litige est d'abord porté devant l'Office de l'Union européenne pour la propriété intellectuelle (EUIPO en anglais), qui n'a fait droit qu'à une partie des demandes de Supermac's. La chaîne irlandaise a donc décidé de faire appel de cette décision auprès du TPICE.Et cette juridiction vient de donner raison à Supermac's. Désormais McDonald's ne pourra plus donner le nom "Big Mac" à ses hamburgers au poulet. Pour en avoir le droit, la firme américaine aurait dû démontrer la réelle utilisation de ce nom, pour les produits concernés, durant une période de 5 ans.Or, d'après les juges, McDonald's n'a pas été en mesure de prouver ce point. Supermac's s'est bien sûr félicité de ce jugement. D'autant que, pour lui, il s'agissait d'un combat inégal, dans lequel son rival avait plus de chances de l'emporter.Quant aux responsables de McDonald's, ils en ont relativisé la portée. Ils considèrent en effet que cette décision de justice ne remet pas en cause leur droit à utiliser l'appellation "Big Mac" pour les hamburgers au poulet en dehors de l'UE ou pour d'autres produits. Et ils estiment que le jugement ne changera rien au succès rencontré par ces hamburgers.Le Tribunal étant une juridiction de première instance, McDonald's peut de toute façon faire appel de ce jugement auprès de la Cour de justice de l'Union européenne (CJUE), qui ne juge pas sur le fond, mais sur des points de droit.

CIPIL Spring Conference 2023: Intellectual Property Rights as Allied Rights: Bill Cornish and the Making of Today's Intellectual Property SystemIn 1981, Professor Bill Cornish published the first student textbook on “Intellectual Property”. The book was to prove hugely influential, as academic courses on the subject proliferated around the country. In turn, it spawned a host of imitators, all of whom stuck doggedly with the template Cornish had provided (of treating patents, copyright and trade marks together). However, now in its 9th edition, and curated and updated by Professors David Llewelyn and Tanya Aplin, the text has never been surpassed.One of the most significant aspects of the book was its very categorisation. Entitled “Intellectual Property: Patents, Copyright, Trade Marks and Allied Rights”, the textbook presented the distinct legal regimes as “allied” in important respects. Previously, practitioner texts had treated the fields of copyright, patent, trade marks and designs as deserving of separate treatment (in Copinger; Terrell; Kerly and Russell-Clarke; while, at the international level, the Paris and Berne Conventions had instilled a dichotomy between “industrial property”, on the one hand, and copyright and neighbouring rights on the other. Although it would be inaccurate to attribute the shift in thinking to the Cornish textbook (and certainly there were important precursors, not least establishment of WIPO in 1967), forty years on from the publication of Cornish's seminal text, “intellectual property” has been cemented as a foundational legal concept. The term is deployed in international treaties (e.g. TRIPs, but as a chapter in the vast majority of free trade agreements), in regional instruments (Article 17 of the EU Charter, the EU's Enforcement Directive), in national constitutions, in domestic legislation; the term is used to denominate governmental and non-governmental organisations, not least the World Intellectual Property Organisation, and the now numerous “intellectual property offices” around the world (including the UKIPO and EUIPO). In the UK, the notion of “intellectual property” serves to define the field of operation of distinct civil procedure rules, as well as the remedies available to litigators. Moreover, the concept figures in the names, and to define the operational fields of, professorial chairs (Bill was the Herchel Smith Professor of Intellectual Property between 1995 and 2004); institutes (such as CIPIL, which was conceived under Bill's watch and founded to coincide with Bill's retirement), journals (such as the E.I.P.R. and I.P.Q.) and scholarly organisations (such as A.T.R.I.P., to which Bill gave strong support during his career, including as president from 1985-7).Of course, the concept of “intellectual property” has not gone uncriticised, and its usefulness unchallenged. Some institutes and journals have, of late, abandoned the term: the Max Planck Institute is now an institute for “innovation and competition law”, and UCL has an “Institute of Brands and Innovation Law.” The UK Intellectual Property Office has recently been located within the new Department for Science, Innovation and Technology. At this conference, we bring together scholars and practitioners, many of whom had a first hand relationship with Bill, to consider critically the origin, history, and utility of the notion of “intellectual property”, and more generally of thinking of trade marks, patents and copyright as “allied rights.” Reflecting Bill's origins (in Australia), his cosmopolitanism (in particular his connection, as external academic member (from 1989) at the Max Planck Institute in Munich), and internationalism (as well as being President of A.T.R.I.P. from 1985-7 and Vice-President of A.L.A.I. from 1990), as well as the links he forged between university and practice (as a door tenant at 8 New Square), the conference will bring together a range of perspectives on the...

CIPIL Spring Conference 2023: Intellectual Property Rights as Allied Rights: Bill Cornish and the Making of Today's Intellectual Property SystemIn 1981, Professor Bill Cornish published the first student textbook on “Intellectual Property”. The book was to prove hugely influential, as academic courses on the subject proliferated around the country. In turn, it spawned a host of imitators, all of whom stuck doggedly with the template Cornish had provided (of treating patents, copyright and trade marks together). However, now in its 9th edition, and curated and updated by Professors David Llewelyn and Tanya Aplin, the text has never been surpassed.One of the most significant aspects of the book was its very categorisation. Entitled “Intellectual Property: Patents, Copyright, Trade Marks and Allied Rights”, the textbook presented the distinct legal regimes as “allied” in important respects. Previously, practitioner texts had treated the fields of copyright, patent, trade marks and designs as deserving of separate treatment (in Copinger; Terrell; Kerly and Russell-Clarke; while, at the international level, the Paris and Berne Conventions had instilled a dichotomy between “industrial property”, on the one hand, and copyright and neighbouring rights on the other. Although it would be inaccurate to attribute the shift in thinking to the Cornish textbook (and certainly there were important precursors, not least establishment of WIPO in 1967), forty years on from the publication of Cornish's seminal text, “intellectual property” has been cemented as a foundational legal concept. The term is deployed in international treaties (e.g. TRIPs, but as a chapter in the vast majority of free trade agreements), in regional instruments (Article 17 of the EU Charter, the EU's Enforcement Directive), in national constitutions, in domestic legislation; the term is used to denominate governmental and non-governmental organisations, not least the World Intellectual Property Organisation, and the now numerous “intellectual property offices” around the world (including the UKIPO and EUIPO). In the UK, the notion of “intellectual property” serves to define the field of operation of distinct civil procedure rules, as well as the remedies available to litigators. Moreover, the concept figures in the names, and to define the operational fields of, professorial chairs (Bill was the Herchel Smith Professor of Intellectual Property between 1995 and 2004); institutes (such as CIPIL, which was conceived under Bill's watch and founded to coincide with Bill's retirement), journals (such as the E.I.P.R. and I.P.Q.) and scholarly organisations (such as A.T.R.I.P., to which Bill gave strong support during his career, including as president from 1985-7).Of course, the concept of “intellectual property” has not gone uncriticised, and its usefulness unchallenged.

The innovation associated with a fashion brand is preserved via trademark and intellectual property mechanisms. An essential condition for trademark registration is distinctiveness. To steer them clear of the concerns with infringement and counterfeiting, the fashion firms' unflinching inventiveness is kind of a test. In episode 90 of the #IPSERIES podcast, I analyzed the role of a registrar, pertinent intellectual property rights, grounds for trademark invalidation application, trademark dilution, and many other factors in the case of Thom Browne's victory over Adidas over his four-stripe motif against the vase of Louis Vuitton losses the checkerboard patterns aka Damier Azur following a petition for invalidation by Mr. Norbert at the EUIPO.

This week, EURACTIV's agrifood team explores the main aspects of the current reform of geographical indications (GIs), the EU's food quality scheme.We spoke to the key players in the reform on a range of pending issues, from online protection for GIs to the simplification of registration procedures, not to mention the increased role of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). We discussed the nitty-gritty of the reform with the help of Amandine Legros representing oriGIn EU - the association of GI producers – as well as Paolo De Castro, rapporteur on the dossier for the European Parliament, to conclude with a long interview with Christian Archambeau, EUIPO's executive director.
Industries making above-average use of intellectual property (IP) rights support four in ten jobs in the European Union, pay higher wages, comprise 47% of EU GDP and contribute ca 80% to EU exports. The significant contribution of these industries to the EU's economy has been comprehensively analysed in the latest economic study produced jointly by the EPO and EUIPO. This fourth edition is new for 2022, and builds on the previous studies published in 2019, 2016 and 2013.

Si l'on reproche souvent aux institutions d'avoir un temps de retard, notamment quand il s'agit de la technologie, force est de constater que l'Office de l'Union européenne pour la propriété intellectuelle ou pour l'acronyme EUIPO, a clairement devancé toutes les attentes. En effet, l'organisme Européen a dévoilé un plan pour lutter contre la contrefaçon de bien matériels, et cela en utilisant la blockchain et les NFT !Des marques de luxes comme Vuitton aux accessoires de mode comme les Air Jordan ou même les AirPods d'Apple, nombreux sont les objets populaires à être victimes de contrefaçon. En 2019, la vente de ces copies auraient même représenté un manque a gagné de 121 milliards d'euro pour les entreprises européennes. Pour contrecarrer cette tendance à la hausse, l'Union Européenne a décidé de recourir à la blockchain et aux NFT. Après cinq ans d'étude, l'EUIPO propose de rendre systématique le suivi des objets dans le monde grâce à la blockchain, ce grand livre numérique dans lequel sont inscrit toutes les transactions, notamment en terme de cryptomonnaies jusqu'à ce jour, mais aussi de NFT depuis l'an dernier. Pour vulgariser, il s'agit d'une sorte de registre infalsifiable où absolument toute l'activité ayant trait à la chaine en question est enregistré. Car il n'y a pas une seule et unique blockchain, mais bien plusieurs. Le Bitcoin et l'Ethereum ont leur propre chaîne constitué de blocks, où sont justement inscrites toutes les activités liées à ces monnaies virtuelles. Voilà en gros le principe d'une blockchain qui peut être décliné pour tout et n'importe quoi, dont les objets physiques.L'EUIPO a déjà défini l'architecture logicielle nécessaire au développement et à l'implémentation de ce qu'elle appelle l'Anti-Counterfeiting Blockathon Infrastructure, son infrastructure anti-contrefaçon en français. Concrètement, les marques agréées et reconnues par l'organisme pourront créer des jumeaux numériques (ou NFT si vous préférez) de leurs produits dès leur sortie de la chaîne de production. Ces certificats numériques auront valeur de garantie d'authenticité et permettront à toutes les compagnies de suivre le parcours de leurs biens. Ceci dit, l'implémentation de ce système reste encore à faire, ce qui ne sera pas une mince affaire. D'ici 2023, l'UE compte également créer un registre des compagnies et titulaires de propriété intellectuelle autorisés à créer des NFT. Si elle parvient à mener ce projet à bien, l'Union européenne se dotera d'une arme réellement efficace dans la lutte contre la contrefaçon. Sa réussite tient désormais à l'adoption massive de la blockchain par toutes les parties prenantes, et à leur bonne volonté. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Privacy, counterfeiting - what's the difference? Intellectual Property has recently been in the news with the Jeff Dieschburg case. Here we discuss IP from from the 15-24 year old perspective. We also talk music with Fete de la Musique and more! In this week's show I talk to Julio Laporta, Head of Communications at EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) about the 3rd edition of the "Intellectual Property and Youth Scoreboard". I also talk to Vanessa Cum - the new President of Fete de la Musique and Séverine Zimmer - the coordinator of the festival. Finally, David John Pike, a professional singer, talks about his upcoming performance with the Choeur de Chambre de Luxembourg. Intellectual Property and Youth Scoreboard The 3rd Edition of the "Intellectual Property and Youth Scoreboard" study from the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office) has just been released and to talk us through what this means, I'm joined by Julio Laporta from Alicante in Spain. A lawyer by profession, Julio Laporta is the Spokesperson and Head of Communications at EUIPO. Last year it ranked as the most innovative intellectual property office in the world. EUIPO manages the registration of the European Union trade mark (EUTM) and the registered Community design (RCD), which provide intellectual property protection to all EU Member States. The European Observatory on Infringements of Intellectual Property Rights was set up in 2009 to support the protection and enforcement of intellectual property rights and to help combat the growing threat of intellectual property infringement in Europe. And this outfit was transferred to the EUIPO in 2012. Mr. Laporta talks through the results for Luxembourg and how we compare to the rest of Europe. He emphasises how important it is to respect what others have created. "If you create you deserve protection." Piracy and counterfeiting costs governments €19 billion. It also costs us, with an increased risk of cyber attacks. EUIPO works with Interpol as the money from piracy and counterfeiting is linked to terrorism and human trafficking. One of the ten priorities of the EU is IP crime On the Jeff Dieschburg case, Julio Laporta is not able to comment on specific cases, but said: "Be careful from where you draw your inspiration. When you study for your tests you don't want to be copied...nobody should be. When you make the effort, the merit is for you." Fête de la Musique I love to hear your feedback.

Il punto sui progetti europei delle piccole e medie aziende. Intervista ad Andrea Di Carlo, Vice Direttore Esecutivo Euipo.
You are tuned in to Copyright Chat. Copyright Chat is a podcast dedicated to discussing important copyright matters. Host Sara Benson, the copyright librarian from the University of Illinois, converses with experts from across the globe to engage the public with rights issues relevant to their daily lives. Sara: Welcome to a fun and exciting and unique episode of Copyright Chat. Today, I am here at the Copyright Conference at Miami University, live, creating an episode of Copyright Chat along with Will Cross. We've been talking about the Scholarly Communication Notebook and my podcast's involvement in it, in teaching and learning. And our audience has live, live polled, decided that what we're going to talk about today is potential liability under the CASE Act and sovereign immunity, which is a very timely topic. So I'm very excited to talk about this. There's a lot going on at the Copyright Office with the CASE Act and their proposed rules. So I would love to see if a member of our audience has a question they'd like to start us off with, about either sovereign immunity or the CASE Act. Yeah, someone just posted that the October 4th deadline is weighing heavily on them. It's September 29th and we have until October 4th to respond to the call for comment. Will, have you made any comment to the Copyright Office in response to that call? Will: That's a great question, Sara, and I wonder if it would be useful to give a very quick, like 30-second overview of the topic just so people know what they're thinking about. I see several hands raised as well. So I'll, I'll say that, that very quickly, yes, I've been involved with several, several groups including the EUIPO that I know you are part of as well, and Sara, you released a really nice ALA-sponsored resource in this area. So yeah, we've been thinking about this issue a lot. We did a webinar last week talking to a bunch of different librarians as well. So I see several hands raised. Sara: Yeah, I think Alvin, would you like to ask a question? Alvin: I work at a land-grant, and we should, should, enjoy sovereign immunity. Does that immunity extend to librarians and the scope of their job? Sara: That's a really good question. And, so, sovereign immunity generally would protect individuals who work there in the scope of their employment, at least protecting them from large damages. So I'll use an example. I think most of us on this call are aware of the Georgia State University case, right, where Georgia State was sued for their E-reserves policy, where they said that a flat percentage could be copied from a textbook for E-reserves use. And of course, we know that there's no flat percentage that equals a fair use. And the court actually said that at one point in the case, which was helpful to us copyright librarians. So, that doesn't mean that they're immune from suit. It does mean that they would be immune from the large damages, because that's what sovereign immunity protects, right, from copyright damages. So what they could obtain, in that instance, is an injunction, telling folks to stop doing whatever they're doing that is potentially violating the law. And that's what the plaintiffs, Oxford University Press was one of them in that case, sought. The word of caution about that case is, it lasted a really long time. So even though in the end there were no damages at stake, the case kind of went on and on, and of course, during that time, you incur attorney's fees and other things. So, and I would add as an aside, and someone posted in the chat also, under the CASE Act, state and federal governments are also immune from liability under the CASE Act, presumably following sovereign immunity. However, and one of the things that is a little unclear is, does that extend to employees? And it really should. But if you read the last US Copyright Office proposed rule, they made some really weird claims about agency law, which seemed to make a distinction and say, well, they didn't say employees when they talked about opting out, so maybe they aren't talking about employees when they're talking about state and federal governments? I don't know. I personally think that probably employees shouldn't be held liable under CASE Act either under principles of sovereign immunity, but as we all know, it doesn't prevent you, even in federal court from being sued. It prevents you from incurring damages. It would then say, okay, well, they have less incentive to sue you because they're not going to get those big statutory damages, but they could still sue you and go for an injunction. Will, that was a long answer. I'm going to let you clarify or add your two cents or correct me if I said anything wrong, cause Lord knows I do sometimes. Will: Well, there's two of us, so hopefully between the two of us we'll be okay. No, I think you said it really well. It's important at the outset to say that these are two, sort of parallel aspects of the law, that sovereign immunity specifically says if you are a public institution, a state institution, those damages are not available. But exactly as you say in Georgia State, the, the plaintiffs were not really interested in damages. They were interested in coercing people into accepting a blanket license, right? That was the endgame for them. So that's the first piece. The CASE Act is specifically the Small Claims Tribunal that you described, that is there, in theory because copyright lawsuits are so expensive and complicated, right? The number that's being thrown around a lot, is what, $276,000 or so, is what it costs to, just to basically begin a suit in federal court. So, so, that speaks to the, both the cost of suing somebody and potentially the cost of being sued, even if there are no damages, as those attorney's fees can certainly add up from there. The question then about whether individuals can either opt out or just say, “I'm an employee acting within the scope of my duty, I shouldn't even need to opt out. I'm, I am covered in this case under basic, sort of fundamental principles of agency law.” That, I think, is the heart of this, this comment that's coming up due October 4th, is how we think about library employees in that space. And I, and I think several people have said this and it's absolutely right. Libraries can't do anything without librarians, right? The, the building doesn't get up and walk around and scan books or whatever, right? It's the people doing the work. So, any sort of opt out or exception that said, “The library is immune from suit, but all the individual people can be sued.” is sort of illusory. It doesn't do anything useful, right? So, from my perspective, it's hard to make a good faith argument that librarians shouldn't be considered, sort of, protected by both sovereign immunity and the broad sort of limitations that the CASE Act provides as well, when they're acting within the scope of their employment. And we can have conversations about scope, scope of employment, and that sort of thing as well. But, but to me, that's the, that's the baseline piece of it. The other thing I wanted to say at this stage is it's important, I think, to articulate the sort of privileged nature of libraries and librarianship generally, that this is a core principle in copyright law, that what libraries do is society serving. It meets the mission of the progress clause. So, libraries have this whole, you know, set of copyright exceptions in Section 108. If you've ever put that weird notice on your photocopiers or scanners, that's what you were doing in that context. So, so not only is it a weird reading of agency law to say, “We want to protect the institution, but not any of the people doing the institution's work.” It also sort of flies in the face of the core policy judgment that Congress and the courts have made in terms of saying, “Libraries are really important. The work they do promotes the progress of science and the useful arts. We need to make sure they have the space to do that good work.” So that's, that's my soapbox that I was on for a long time. Sara: I get that. I think, whenever you engage in advocacy with a public body, right, you're not usually, your name is attached to it. And if you're stating what you do for a living and you know, you're, you're potentially letting them know what you do and why you do it. At my library, and this may not be true of others, my name is already out there and what I do is already out there, right? I'm listed very publicly. My resources, my library guides have my name on them, right? So, to me, it didn't raise any specter of liability that I wasn't already kind of dealing with. I think the title copyright librarian kind of indicates, oh yeah, I do have to make fair use assessments and people do come to me and ask questions about copyright information. Of course, I don't make other people's fair use assessments, but I guide them and empower them into making their own. I would say the person who posted here said that they are engaged in interlibrary loan. Again, I, I know what interlibrary loan is, right? That means that you are scanning copyright protected works. That's the nature of the job. And I think most people know that as well. And so to me, hopefully that doesn't really raise any additional liability on your part when you submit something. But of course, I can't promise that there aren't copyright trolls out there, right? Unfortunately, they already exist. I think the benefit in us submitting these comments is that we're trying to let the Copyright Office know that this will impact our daily work. And the goal here, at least for me, in calling for large collective action, is that I want the Copyright Office to understand the impact, that this proposed ruling would have, right? The proposed rule that they put forth about the opt-out provisions said, you know, yes, a library or an archive can opt out, one time, of the CASE Act or Small Claims Act proceedings, and then they never have to worry about it again, right? If someone tries to sue them, they, they opt out automatically. And the benefit of that is that if you forget to opt out, you can get a default judgment against you, right? And then all of a sudden you have damages. And so that's why that was, as Will said, libraries are protected and archives are protected if they do this one time, right? Because our society and our Congress understands that what we do is important. That what we do shouldn't be interrupted constantly by little lawsuits, right? That the library can't function in that way. But what they don't understand, what the Copyright Office doesn't understand, I think, and what Will said quite brilliantly, right, was the library isn't making the scanning. The library, you know, the library is just a building. It doesn't do anything. The library only does things through its employees, and if the employees are constantly being sued, guess what, the library might as well shut down. And so, if Congress really wants to protect libraries from being sued constantly and having to remember to opt out constantly, they should also protect employees from the same. And so, this is what, um, this is why I encourage advocacy. And my real sincere hope is that we will move the needle on this. This was a proposed rule by the Copyright Office. It's not final. And I'm really hopeful that through collective action we're able to convince the Copyright Office that they got it wrong. And if we do that, then our goal has been met, right? Having your name on that document is not going to subject you to any potential liability because you, when your library opts out, it will also cover you. And that's the goal. Can I promised that goal will be met? No. Unfortunately, advocacy is always like that, right? You, you do your best and you hope that it makes that impact. But I do think it's worth doing. I think advocacy is worth doing, even if it does mean that we have to put our name on a public document. Will: Totally agree. And I see we've got an anonymous question I want to address in just a second, but before that, I just want to jump on what you're saying and plus one it as well. There are a surprising number of cases where some larger sort of legal policy fight is happening and librarians can sort of get swept up in it in different ways. I think about the Kirtsaeng case a few years back, where there was this large and sort of technical conversation, about, you know, whether works were lawfully made under this title and what that meant geographically. I don't think most people were thinking about libraries when that litigation was happening. But several library organizations wrote amicus briefs to the Supreme Court and said, “Don't forget about us while you're weighing all these other policy questions, please don't let us get sort of squished underfoot for these big other conversations.” And not only did we get the outcome we wanted, we got some language in the opinion that basically said that “The work of libraries is important, a different ruling in this case would have an adverse effect on libraries and librarianship.” So that was part of our calculus. I think we have some nice case studies where we said, properly, “You might not be thinking about us, but please do in this moment to make a decision that recognizes that.” Sara: Great, I do see that question about whether you can make an anonymous comment. Do we know the answer to that, Will? Will: I think it was answered in the chat, which is that you can, but it's still recorded in certain ways. There was also a person wrote in and asked to, to ask a question here anonymously. So if it's okay, I'll read that one out. And then I see Jonah has his hand up as well. So the question is sort of a strategic one and it asks, is there a risk in, risk involved in stressing how much effect this might have on our daily operations, when we know that some folks in the Copyright Office seem to already think libraries are sketchy, and library users especially, are sort of sketchy edge users, like it does in a sense that confirm the, I think, wildly inaccurate, but existing bias, that like where “We were already sort of looking at you with side-eye and now you're coming back and asking for more protection. What's up with that?” And I think there's something to say around sovereign immunity with that. But Sara, I'm interested how you would respond to that question. Sara: So I think what you're saying is when you write this letter saying how it might impact your daily work, are you going to get kind of a, more scrutiny, I guess, into what you're doing. My answer would be no, but I also didn't, when I wrote in, I didn't write every single thing that I do on a daily basis, in very great detail, right? Because I first of all, like I just, I need to protect patron privacy. So like, that is foremost right? In everything we do, we all know this, right? So I would never say I scanned this thing for this patron or you know, a specific thing. But what I did say is that I routinely make fair use determinations for my own teaching and for my own library guides and my own educational outreach that I do on campus. And it would be hindered if I would have to respond to these lawsuits for everything that I did, right? It would just it, and it might also put me in a position where the risk gets higher and higher, right? I mean, fair use is a risk assessment every time. And so I don't think anyone would look askew at that, only because what I say that I'm doing is really typical. I mean, I'm not I'm not doing anything atypical. And I don't know what you could say that they would feel like is pushing it too far. I mean, I see, I see your point. Maybe if you get into, we're doing controlled digital lending and here's how many books we're scanning and all this, right? Maybe they would think that was pushing it far, but I even think there, many libraries are publicly stating that they're doing controlled digital lending. So that's not even anything super controversial. So I guess, I, I don't think so, but I wonder what you think, Will. Will: Yes, I mean, I think that's right, and along with what you said about fair use being a risk assessment, fair use is a muscle as well, right? And so I think, I personally think there's real value in getting on the record some of these concerns even if we don't win the day. So that as the conversations about the constitutionality of this stuff and other things are there, that that's out there. The piece that I do understand is that they're historically, the Copyright Office has not always been a library-first policy body, right, for better or for worse. So I, I, I could imagine somebody saying if I was talking to a judge or a legislature, they often love libraries, but this particular context feels different. The other piece I wanted to bring in is, we included sovereign immunity in this conversation because that's been kind of a third rail in this space and it's not the same thing, but I think in terms of the way policy folks are thinking about it, it overlaps. So just to quickly share that context, my state, North Carolina, relied on sovereign immunity for some pretty aggressive use of photographs of Blackbeard's ship, without, sort of going through the steps that they maybe should have done. That's for a court, and not for me, to decide. And last term, the Supreme Court upheld sovereign immunity. They said that sovereign immunity should exist. Even in this context where this doesn't seem like the best case study. Like, if I wanted to defend sovereign immunity, those set of behaviors or not, the model set of behaviors I would have brought forward. Sara: And just sovereign immunity means that a state or federal government cannot be sued in copyright for damages, for money. Not that they can't be sued, right? Because we all know that they could for Georgia State purposes, right, for maybe an injunction or, injunction means stop doing that, right? Whatever you're doing, stop it. But that they can't get those statutory damages. Sorry. I'm just interrupting you, go on. Will: No. Thank you. Sara: I like and I also love the fact that it was a pirate case. Will: Yes. Sara: Yeah, there's nothing better than a case about copyright that involves a pirate, just saying. Will: At last we find when piracy is the right statement, finally, when using the term so much. Anyway, one of the results of that is the court's opinion basically said, “Under current law, sovereign immunity stands. But if you have concerns, the legislature can do something about it.” So this large study was launched to try and determine whether or not we should revisit sovereign immunity. It, we could spend some time talking about that report. I think it, it, the people watching it came in with a set of expectations that weren't necessarily met by the data they found on the ground. But, at least to me, that creates a sense that people are sniffing around the broader concept of sovereign immunity and saying, “This, this blanket shield from liability makes me suspicious and skeptical.” And these larger questions about the policy values of that liability are being asked. I think there's a really overwhelmingly strong way to articulate why it's important to have that immunization and that protection both for sort of nerdy, you know, principles of federalism reasons, but also for actual on the ground work. But if there's already an environment where people are launching studies trying to undo or remove sovereign immunity, having the conversation about how librarians are treated under the CASE Act may touch that third rail in some places. So I, the thing that really resonated to me in that question was that, that sense of like, “These are stormy times, I'm going to be careful where I stick my umbrella.” Or something. Sara: Well definitely, and folks have been, folks being legislators, had been kind of attacking sovereign immunity. And the Copyright Office has done their own inquiry into it. And for now, at least, according to the Supreme Court and the Copyright Office, there is no viable evidence of you know, enough harm to individuals through sovereign immunity that we should breach sovereign immunity or get rid of it. However, yes, that's an ongoing thing and it kind of continues to poke, rear its head, right, because the Copyright Office will tell them, “Well, we don't have enough evidence right now, but come back to us in five years with another report,” right? I mean, that's kind of what happens. It's like “Gather some more evidence.” And they had a horror story, a parade of horribles of, you know, that poor individuals, and some of them I really did feel for, I have to tell you, I was there during the hearings and they were saying like, “The university stole this and made all this money. And then they told me to go away because the sovereign immunity,” and that does happen. I'm not going to lie it does, but I mean, that's not what, that's not typical. I mean, at my university, my general counsel joined me for the sovereign immunity hearings, and, you know, we consider ourselves good faith actors. Like, if we find out that a faculty member has done something illegal or copied something, put on their website, we immediately go take it down. We say, “Okay, we need to do something about this right away.” We don't just say “Too bad, we're not going to pay any damages,” right? So it's, it's just, it does happen. It's unfortunate. But I think that it's pretty rare. And I think that was what the Copyright Office concluded, that the evidence really just didn't show that it's widespread enough to create that kind of irreparable harm that we would need to pierce sovereign immunity. I see Jonah's had his hand up for a while, so Jonah - Jonah: So I've seen several commentators and Will just mentioned a moment ago that there was some question about the constitutionality of the CASE Act. I was wondering if both of you could expand a little bit about why people feel that the CASE Act might be unconstitutional. And also, I assume that unconstitutionality applies to the entire framework of the CASE Act and not just vis-à-vis, like library employees. Sara: That's right. And great question, and I'm not the most familiar with these arguments, so I'll let Will jump in, but my understanding is that it has to do with the tribunal, and that it's not an official court. And I think that's the concern, that you've got, not, not a real, it's not a real court, right? It's, it's appointed by, these are judges appointed by the Copyright Office to handle these claims. Over to Will. Will: That's exactly right. The Seventh Amendment talks about the right to trial by jury. And obviously you can opt out of your trial by jury in some cases. But the CASE Act, by creating this weird tribunal, that's not necessarily even in the article 3 constitutional space, that's where judges tend to live, generally, there's this question about whether people's rights are being impacted in some way. Because it's this sort of weird, made-up, quasi court where you don't have all of your rights and protections, but it does still seem to be bind right? You can't lose under a case tribunal and then just kick back to the federal court if you don't like the results. So are we locking people and especially through this, right, the, the, if you get an email or if you don't get an email because it went to your spam, telling you that you have been accused and you don't respond, you're stuck with whatever judgment they have. So if, you can, without getting any opportunity to trial by jury, or even in some cases, any opportunity to meaningfully understand that anything has been raised, and you're bound by that, there are, I think, serious constitutional problems there as well. People have also, I think, rightly asked some questions about whether this is described as a small claims process. Well, where I sit, $30,000 is not small claims, right? That's, that would be a real life-changer for me in some ways. So, from the perspective of a large international rights holder, $30,000 might be the thing you find in your couch cushion or whatever. But I think that the claim that “This is just for the little stuff, you know, up to $30,000,” feels a little maybe disingenuous or just out of tune with the way most people's lives and finances work. Sara: Right. And one thing that I struggle with is how this court would be compared with administrative judges, for instance. Because I think their argument on the other side would be like “This is just like an administrative court where we don't have all the same rules as, you know, regular court and you don't necessarily have a trial by jury, but we have delegated our rights to this administrative court judge.” You think that's going to fly here, Will? Will: I have stopped trying to predict the Supreme Court over the past year or two as it has continued to surprise me. If we could go this podcast without using the word Chevron at any point, that would make me super happy. I do not know, To me both the equities in the constitutional arguments seem pretty compelling in terms of questioning it, but it would, because that's where I sit and that's the world I live in and those are the issues I think about. So I, I would like to imagine that the Supreme Court would take a close look at this, but I would like to imagine a lot of things. Sara: Yeah. No, and I do think, that that's, I think that's going to be their response. And again, I don't, also don't know how that would turn out. I do also know, I think the Electronic Frontier Foundation is looking into this and very serious about suing, but they have to wait till they have a real case. So I think they have to wait until someone gets sued, and then they'll have standing to bring a lawsuit. Until then you don't have, so standing is, is one of the requirements we have to file a lawsuit. You can't say well, “Prospectively, I'm just mad about this.” You have to have some real damages happening to a real person, a real plaintiff. So I think that they're gathering up what they can in the meantime and all their arguments, and they're kind of waiting for the first plaintiff to come along who says, “Yeah, take my case and let's fight it constitutionally.” That's my understanding, and I'm, I'll definitely be on the sidelines cheering them on, or happy to help them if I can in any way. Will: Yeah, I feel the same way and I imagine there will be a certain amount of plaintiff shopping. Who is the most, you know, who, who is the best example of why this is problematic set of practices. Sara: Great point. Will: Something to watch. Sara: We have a question in the chat that other people are, are kind of saying “Me too!” So I'm going to read it out loud here. It says “I'm organizing an email to our library staff to alert them about the CASE Act so they can submit their own statements, and I'm pushing for an institutional statement. I'm wondering if I should reach out to faculty at my institution. Would this potentially affect faculty as well. Those working on OERs are using course reserves, for example. Or is this more librarian oriented?” So the opt out provision is for libraries and archives specifically. And so, generally, I would say, “Will the CASE Act impact faculty?” Probably so, right, and that also depends on whether you're a public institution or private institution because we again, don't know how the courts are going to look at sovereign immunity. And they've, they've allowed and said, state and federal governments can't be sued under the CASE Act, but we don't really know how that's going to play out in terms of individual employees. So there's that. But in terms of this opt out, if you're trying to have people respond about the opt out specifically, that is about library employees and archival employees. Will: Well said, I'll ask the follow-up question to you and if other folks want to jump in as well, what, if anything, are you going to do to prepare your non-library employees there? Are there a series of workshops coming out to say, “This is a wacky thing. It might never affect you, but if you're interested, here it comes.” Or how are we as a community thinking about educating beyond the libraries in this matter? Sara: That's a really good question. And, and for me, I feel like it's a little early, only because these proposed rules are still coming out. Like there's another proposed rule that came out just today. And I got it in my e-mail and said, “Okay, too long, didn't read yet, but will, right?” So I think it's such a moving target that I'm not prepared yet to reach out to faculty generally, but I do think it will be important once we kind of know where the playing field is and what's going on to have some, some strategic conversations. Like first, I'm going to have strategic conversations with library administration. Like, even if we are state and federal, a state or federal library, which we are at University of Illinois, if the opt-out provisions are extended to employees, I'm, I'm going to push that we just file the opt-out regardless, because it would cover our employees. That would be my ask to my administration, if we get what we're asking for in this push right now. Secondly, I would have to say, yeah, to faculty and say, “Let's have this conversation. What is this thing? What is this small claims court? What are the potential outcomes and how does this impact you?” And then again, big question mark, “We are at a state government institution, how does that impact employees?” And I would also really encourage them to understand that they can always opt out no matter what. So even if you can't opt out preemptively and do it once and it's going to apply to everything, which is, of course a good scenario, you can opt out for every single suit. And then that would say to the person, “Hey, sue me in federal court.” Now, we know how sovereign immunity works in federal court, right, at least currently. And so that would give us some measure of protection there if we're not sure about the CASE Act outcome. And so, you know, without giving legal advice, which I'm not allowed to do in my role as copyright librarian, I would try to let them know, like here are the options, right? The option is you go to this court and try to argue that because you're a state or federal employee, you know, they can't sue you, but, you know, I don't know how that's going to turn out. Or you can opt out and say, “Hey, you would have to come and sue me in federal court.” And we know that's pretty cost-prohibitive for them. And we also know that they can't get damages against you there. So I would let them know these are their options and of course, everyone has to make their own decision because I might have a faculty member who knows a lot about this and is like, “I'm really angry, really angry that they're suing me, they shouldn't be. So I'm going to fight this.” I mean, hey, more power to them, but like, I'm not going to tell them to do that necessarily. I'm going to give them options. Will: Thank you. Yeah, a couple of people, Molly Keener, and others have added in chat, and it sounds like they're doing basically the same thing. “We're keeping high level administration aware, we're talking to counsel's offices. But it's a little early.” I also wanted to, I think Nancy in the chat mentioned that if you're especially at a larger institution, the question I get sometimes is like “I work in the library, so I'm going to write on behalf of the library where, I work at NC State, so I'm going to write.” And at most institutions, especially as Nancy says, large institutions, there are pretty clear rules around who can and cannot speak and write on behalf of the institution. So if I submitted comments on behalf of NC State, our legislative advocacy people would murder me and you would never find my body, right? So, so be aware that there are a small set of people who can speak on behalf of the institution, and that there are probably people on your campus who have big feelings about who is doing that work. Sara: That's a really good point. And on the flip side of that, I've been really fortunate to work with those government outreach folks at Illinois to get their kind of permission, if you will, to speak on behalf of the library and the sovereign immunity instance, for instance. I'm, I coauthored a letter on behalf of our institution with our counsel's office. So if you go through the right channels, you can get those permissions, but you have to be aware that you need that. You can't just go ahead and do it. And also usually you need the Dean of the library to say it's okay, the counsel's office to say it's okay, the government relations folks to say it's okay, and just to go through a variety of, of processes. When things come up really quickly like this, this current call for responses, I just signed it on behalf of myself individually because I sometimes I don't have time to run through the chain of command, right? Like to know like, okay, I need to go to this person and this person then this. Like, just because you have permission to do it once doesn't mean it's kosher to do it again and again and again. So I had permission, like I said, on sovereign immunity to really speak up on behalf of the university. But I don't have that permission like as a blanket statement. It's a really good point. Any other questions? Take it away. Will: So Susan Kendall asks whether we can share some communication that you would have the library administration, that those of us who are not lawyers, can use with your administration. I don't have anything in my back pocket, but it seems like a great service. Some group, whether it's EUIPO or ALA, or whomever, could do is to say, “Here's some model language to let people know what's happening with CASE, here's some model language that's targeted towards faculty” and you know that there is a broad need for that. So that might be something that maybe somebody has already done. I'd love to learn about it. And if not, it would be great if somebody could do it. Sara: Will, I love that idea. And I think in terms of when we move forward, I think that we are, that would be a great service, right? To have some standard like “Here's language to communicate about CASE with your employees. Here's some if you're a public employee. Here's some if you're a private employee, here's some for libraries, here's…” something like that would be such a great thing. And I am a member of the ALA Policy Corps group and I think that would be an awesome project for us. And again, I would say it's a little early for that in terms of how we can, we can't predict the future about CASE. So we gotta wait a little bit and then I'm really, fingers crossed, that the lawsuit about constitutionality actually goes forward and we can get rid of all of these concerns, but it's just a moving target. And unfortunately, that's, that happens a lot with copyright, right? It's, it's, it's a moving target a lot of the time. So I do, I think we should have some sort of repository for that kind of information. And I, I, I think it's a great idea. There's a question, did the Library Copyright Institute create a sample of language that could be used? I don't think so, but I do know, you know, if you look at the comments that have been posted about the CASE Act, there's a lot of good information you can gather. It's all public. Will, do you know of anything that they created the Library Copyright Institute? Will: We did a webinar on this last week and we borrowed your language. We said “This is what ALA has provided. This is a nice way to, here's some specific verbiage you can borrow, but also here's a nice way to frame, sort of introduce the idea, provide your context, give specific examples.” So that's the thing that was circulating in those slides that should be available, the recording should be available at this point, but that's not LCI's credit, that's ALA's credit. We were just sharing their good work. Sara: You know, everyone has their own unique perspective and we all have different ways of looking at things, right? And so it's really good to get, just a variety of perspectives, about all the things that are happening in copyright world. Kenny is obviously a wonderful person to talk to always because he's just a really nice person. And I have a Copyright Chat episode talking with Kenny. So I recommend you listen to it if you're interested. He of course authored the famous Copyright Checklist, that most people use for fair use. I recommend it to folks all the time. And in our, in that particular episode, we were talking about the copyright guidelines in Circular 21 and how they're really outdated. Other questions? Audience Member: I do. So what is next? How should we proceed in the coming months, while we kind of wait to see what comes down? And once those things come down, the final rulemaking, what the court looks like, what are ways we can work together to move forward? Sara: That's a great question. I mean, I think one thing that I would recommend to everyone here, is to sign up for the US Copyright Office Notices. This is how I learn about what's going on with the CASE Act and the new rulings and things, right? Instead of hearing it from someone else, you can hear it directly from the Copyright Office. So I highly recommend that, and read, read the proposed rulings as they come out. And if you feel that there's something that you or your library could respond to, pass it up to your dean, pass it up to general counsel and keep them apprised of what's going on because things are definitely still moving along and not solidified yet. So keep on being engaged in that process because I think it's really important that we are aware of how it's, how it's moving. And then once, once we have some final idea of what's going on, hopefully the ALA Policy Corps or someone else can put out some really helpful, useful information. I'm thinking like the SPARC information that they have about the state by state laws on OER, right? They're just so good. I love their website and their tools. If we can come up with something like that, that's just really short, but really comprehensive, I think that we could be doing a really great service. So maybe come up with your own stuff and we can kind of put our heads together and come up with that documentation because I think we're going to need a lot of outreach to our faculty and to fellow librarians about how this might impact our work. Will: Yeah, that's, that's a great point. And the question that you mentioned a moment ago is, is if this constitutionally goes away next term, have we spent all this time getting people invested and raised all this awareness, and then suddenly it's like “What happened to that CASE thing you said was going to ruin the world?” “Well, it just went away.” So as, as we were talking about engagement with faculty, that's one of the issues that I'm really thinking about is, one, getting faculty to show up for a website on copyright Small Claims Tribunal can be challenging. So I'm, I'm wondering if other people are having that, like, is this something faculty and others aren't going to care about until they're being sued and it's too late. Like, is there a way to say “This might be nothing. It might be really important, but you need to know about it now. Because once you get a notification, it's probably too late for us to do anything about it.” Sara: Yeah, I mean, I don't think it's too late for us to do anything once they get a notification as long as they didn't sit on it. Because I, I just read, the one thing that I did read is that you have 60 days to respond to the notice under the proposed rules. Again, nothing final, which is quite a long time, if it got to the right place. Like Will was saying, if it got in your junk email or went to the wrong location, like that's just a problem. But if, if a faculty member does come to me and they have the notice in hand, I think that's a really good time to have that kind of “Here are your options” conversation, right? I mean, you could do nothing and then you could get a default judgement. That's not a good idea, right? Default judgment means “You didn't even bother to show up, pay these damages, because this is what we've decided.” So that's bad, and right, your options are, you know, opt out and decide to say, “Hey, you know, I'm not, I'm not engaging in this process. If you want to sue me, take me to federal court” or respond, right? And then you can respond with, “Hey, this was a fair use,” or “Hey, this is, I'm a government employee” or whatever your defense is, but of course you don't have any guarantees that how that's going to turn out because these are the judges, judges are not real, they're not federal judges, they're not necessarily trained. And even federal judges on copyright sometimes get pretty confused. They get a little turned around. So I've had experiences as a practicing lawyer that you wouldn't believe or I have a motion that I think is a slam dunk and I get denied. And then I have another motion that I think there's no way in heck, this is going to go through and the judge lets it through. So judges sometimes do wonky things. So it's important for people to know that too. Even if they're like, “I know I have a fair use. I know that this is permissible, that's so obvious.” That's why, yeah, judges sometimes make mistakes and I think these judges could too, right? Will: You would hope. And I'm sure the argument is, these judges are going to have that specialist training, so they'll be especially well-prepared. So then the question is, who's going to give them that training? Is CCC's version of a copyright webinar, is it ALA's, et cetera. So that specialization you're right, is a problem too. Sometimes comedic levels, at the federal level, whether the specialization that these judges have means they are more sophisticated or just more invested in one view of the doctrine is a different thing. Carla, please go ahead. I'm sorry. Carla: No, this conversation brings something to mind for me in that happened back when I was in college, which was during the time of Napster in the late 1990s. And I met one of my friends for lunch and he was looking very depressed. He had gotten notice from a music company and they said “We saw you've been sharing our music illegally online, that you can either pay $3,000” in the late 1990s to a college student, which was terrifying, “Or we will sue you.” And you know, something I was just thinking is, could we see with the CASE Act, copyright trolls saying, “Hey, we're going to see you in small claims court. But if you don't opt to do that, we're going to take you to federal court, or you can just make this all go away by paying us X amount of dollars and we'll leave you alone.” And the chilling effect that might have, do you think that's a possibility? Sara: I definitely think that's a possibility and I think that, that's part of the art, the goal of outreach, right? Is to educate people that they can opt out and that they don't have to pay that money, right? So yeah, it's, it's, it's definitely a possibility and, and if folks are just unaware of what this is, right, they think, “Oh, I'm going to go to court, I better pay this” and they don't even know. I know that the notice is supposed to tell you about the opt-out provision and all of those things. But, you know, some people just get really scared. You get a letter in the mail saying you have to pay this money. And you think, “Oh no, I have to do this,” right? You just want it to go away. And so I think that is a real possibility. Will: Yeah, I've, I've dropped the phrase, but somebody basically described the CASE act as a copyright troll factory. I think there's, there's something to that. Nancy, I saw your hand raised. If you'd like to ask a question or jump in, please do. Nancy: Yeah, I, I realized that what I was thinking about is, is rather tangential. But with respect to trolling, those of you who work in academic libraries may have seen some of this lately. I've seen an increase in people who put some kind of vaguely copyrightable measurement tool online. And then other people use it without permission, which is only questionably a copyright violation anyway, forms are not usually very copyrightable. But the people who made the form, some people really seem to have gone full trolling model on this. Their form is out there primarily to get people to use it. And then once people have used it, if they publish on the research they did with the tool, they are now threatening the authors with lawsuits. I don't know if they're getting payments, but they are getting retractions. Which is, I'm concerned about, just because that's not a correct legal response to this kind of, if it is a copyright violation, retractions are not the right answer. But, but I think that the over, as I said, this is tangential, that's why I put my hand down. But it is an illustration that the trolling model already exists, and has both some monetary drivers and some other weird drivers that I don't understand. Sara: Yes, it definitely does exist. And as Jonah was pointing out, there is someone who is licensing under Creative Commons and then using that to sue people, which is even worse in my opinion, it's like you're using Creative Commons to trap people into violating the whatever you put on there and then you're suing them. It's just mind-blowing. But yes, I think, I think unfortunately, some people are trying to trap people into using their thing and then suing them. But I would agree that a retraction is maybe not the way to go. And also someone, I wish someone, would just fight that, right? And get a court to say, “Hey, by the way, this isn't even copyrightable.” But the problem is, and we all know this, going to court is not free, right? You can't go, most people can't just go to court and say, “Okay, I'm going to be pro se.” You have the court filing fees, you have to show up and you have all these deadlines. It's a very complicated process, so it's not as easy as all that, although I wish someone would fund it, maybe EFF, and like, find out if there is someone they could defend and really push the issue. Because if this is happening again and again and again, it needs to be dealt with, in my opinion. Will: And good discussion in the chat on the, sort of the rise of copyleft trolls. There's an article in there documenting the practice, and then Creative Commons has been working recently on updating their license enforcement language to say, “It's your right, but what we hope the community will do is follow this set of practices.” Sara: Yeah, Nancy, Nancy is like “Exactly what academic author is going to say, “I'm going to defend this and see you in court, sue me” and then like get their own lawyer.” I mean, it's just so expensive, so we really would need an organization to take that on. Agreed. But it would be great. Other questions. This has been such a fun conversation. I just have to say this was a really fun thing to do. And I'm so happy that you all were so engaged. I just, the time has been flying by and I've been really enjoying it and it was fun for me to be on the other side, right? Not to be the one asking all the questions, but to get to answer some of them. So I really enjoyed engaging with you all. I hope this will inspire some of you to listen to other episodes of Copyright Chat and to give me your feedback about those and to get engaged with them. And maybe use the Scholarly Communication Network output that I come up with about teaching with Copyright Chat, or come up with your own ways to teach with Copyright Chat. I've actually used, that, that method with Gordon Spiegel before. And I did it live in a class. I played the episode and then I would stop it. And as I asked him a question, I would say to the class like, “What's your answer?” right? And have them kind of figure out if they knew the answer to a common copyright myth. And it was a really fun way of holding a live class. So you can even use the, the podcast live during class. There are just so many different ways to use it for teaching. So I really hope that some of you are inspired to do that. Will: Yeah, thank you for saying that. That brings us back to the sort of the SCN conversation at the top that this can be a “Your final assignment is create a podcast.” instead of writing a research paper that gets thrown away, it's there, or, “Take two podcasts and remix them in different ways.” All the pedagogical opportunities here, I think are really, really exciting and important. Sara: Or come up with a new module, right? “Find one of Sara's Copyright Chat podcasts that she didn't turn into a teaching module and come up with your own teaching module” and then add it in to the OER right there. Just so many, possibilities are endless, but I do love the idea of creating your own copyright podcast, which is kind of fun. Because I just think I've had assignments like that where I've gotten to create something myself and I always find them really, really engaging. And active learning is just, for me, a lot more rewarding. Any, any other final comments from the crowd or things you would love to hear a Copyright Chat podcast about? Because I'm always looking for ideas. If you have other topics that you just think, “Hey, you really should do a topic about this.” Oh, a music one, ooh, that's a really good idea. I should definitely do a music one. “Do you use videos from Copy Talk as part of educational material?” So I don't have videos on the Copyright Chat because it's a podcast, but I do have sometimes links to readings and sometimes links to other videos and things so, that I'll put with, so I always have a transcription of the podcast because obviously some folks can not engage with it, if they're hard, they have hearing struggles, so I always have a transcript available. And with the transcript is where I put additional materials. Will: I was just going to say, one of the things I really appreciated about this session is the way you've demystified the technical aspects. I think if you said to somebody out of the blue “Do you want to make a podcast?”, they'd go, “That sounds really complicated and difficult.” And I think this has been a nice demonstration that it's actually not as challenging and not as big of an ask as it could be. And obviously the opportunity to have some intro music from ccMixter, or right, you can sort of walk that copyright walk in terms of the way you build resources and, or rely on fair use to play a short clip from something. You could ask students to demonstrate their understanding of those concepts in the way they build the podcast. Carla: So, as we're nearing the end of the podcast, I just want to express my deepest thanks, first off to Will and Sara, for this wonderful and very informative discussion on the CASE Act. I know this has been in so many folks' minds and I am welcoming every learning opportunity I can get on this. And I think this has been an exceptional one. My deepest thanks also to our participants. It has really warmed my heart over the last few days to see how much you all are engaging with these presentations, the conversations going on in the chat. I just think this is so fantastic and the chat will be preserved. I know there's some questions about that, so you can download that, and I'm happy to pull links out of the chat, to put in a document that we can ask later. Before we close out, any final thoughts to share, Will and Sara? Sara: I would just say, I'm so happy to see so many people engaging with copyright here in this room today. And just keep on, keep on doing that, right? I mean, I'm always learning something new about copyright every day. And copyright is one of those fun things that changes a lot. Right, as someone was pointing out, “You should talk about music, cause there are a lot of new cases and it's changing a lot”, right? It is. And then the Music Modernization Act changed it even more, right? That's what makes it fun is that it's, it's a moving target, something that you can always learn something new about. I never claim to know everything about copyright because… Kenny Crews might know everything about copyright, but not me. But I always, I just have a passion for it. And I think that's what you need to have if you want to be a copyright librarian and if you're interested at all, reach out to me, we are a really great group of people. We are a really nice group of people and we help each other. It's been, it's been a fabulous career choice for me. I've really enjoyed working with everyone including Karla and Will, and Nancy on this call, and Emily. And I just really can't say enough about it as a career choice. So if you're thinking about it at all, feel free to reach out to me, and I'm happy, I'm always happy to chat with anybody, especially because I love Copyright Chat. Will: Yeah, I'll say the same thing, but not as well, as I've been doing for most of the session today. I, I, it's a really fun community to be part of, and I'm really excited about resources like Copyright Chat and the SCN, that sort of capture the community conversation. And it's not just like “This is the expert and we're going to shut up and listen to them.” It is, “Let's talk about this as a group and share different experiences.” I think we'll get a better and more robust and more invitational, and inclusive as well, understanding of what this body of practice is and can and should be. So I appreciate everybody adding your voice today and I'll second Sara, what she said, please reach out anytime. Questions like “I'm new to the field, and how do I deal with that?” or “What do you think about this?” We're all very happy to have those conversations. Sara: And shout out to Molly and Sandra. I mean, it's just a really fabulous group of people. I cannot say enough about my copyright colleagues. They are just wonderful people also. If you're at all intimidated and you say, “Ooh, it's law, I just don't want to get engaged,” like, talk to us, because really, really you can do it. And especially if you find it really interesting and fascinating and you know, you just really want to learn more. That to me is a sign that you're, you're interested, right? And so, even if you don't want to become a copyright librarian, if you're just like, “I'm going to be the go-to copyright person at my library.” Hey, everyone needs that. That's a certainty. So, and then, don't feel afraid to ask questions when you have them. Because again, I mean, we, we ask questions all the time, and no question is a bad question, and I'm always happy to engage with people, so please, please reach out, and thanks for joining us today. It was so much fun.

MASTERMINDS Podcast #32 Markenrecht – Grundlagen und Praxistipps: mit Jacqueline Bichler und Veronika Krickl von STADLER VÖLKEL Rechtsanwälte Eine Marke ist ein Kennzeichen für Waren oder Dienstleistungen und kann in Form von Logos, Namen, Schriftzügen oder gar Geräuschen auftreten. Doch heutzutage sind Marken noch mehr: sie sind das Versprechen eines Unternehmens an seine Kunden – sie transportieren funktionale, emotionale und soziale Eigenschaften. Der Erfolg eines Unternehmens ist heute eng an Ansehen und Wert seiner Marke gekoppelt. Wichtige Kriterien dabei sind Markenbekanntheit, Markenimage und Marktanteile. Marken gelten als immaterielle Güter und damit fester Bestandteil des Gesamtwerts eines Unternehmens. Gemeinsam mit Mag. Jacqueline Bichler und Veronika Krickl, zwei Markenrechtsexpertinnen der Kanzlei STADLER VÖLKEL Rechtsanwälte, blicken wir auf die Grundzüge des Markenrechts. Wir erklären, was überhaupt unter dem Begriff „Marke“ zu verstehen ist und welche Rechtsgrundlagen für nationalen, europäischen und internationalen Markenschutz zu beachten sind. Zudem gehen wir in dieser Folge darauf ein, welche Vorteile eine registrierte Marke genießt und welche Voraussetzungen vorliegen müssen, um überhaupt eine Marke eingetragen zu bekommen. Außerdem blicken wir auf den Prozess der Markenanmeldung, mit welchen Kosten man rechnen muss und wie im Vorfeld eine Markenrecherche durchgeführt werden kann. Zum Abschluss gehen wir darauf ein, wie Markenrechtsverletzungen gegenüber Dritten geltend gemacht werden können. Datenbanken zur Markenrecherche: ÖPA-Register unter http://seeip.patentamt.at/; nationale österreichische Marken, Unionsmarken, IR mit Benennung Österreichs/EU;DPMA-Register unter https://register.dpma.de; nationale deutsche Marken, Unionsmarken, IR mit Benennung Dtl/EU;eSearch plus unter https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/; Mit eSearch plus findet man Unionsmarken sowie international registrierte Marken, welche die EU benannt haben; hier kann man auch Bilder hochladen und ähnliche Bilder suchen;Madrid Monitor www.wipo.int/madrid/monitor/en/index.jsp; Mit Madrid Monitor findet man international registrierte Marken, die im Rahmen des Madrider Systems angemeldet, eingetragen und gelöscht wurden und in den vom Anmelder benannten Staaten gelten; TMview unter https://www.tmdn.org/tmview/welcome; Suchmaschine des EUIPO zu Marken und Markenanmeldungen aller teilnehmenden Markenämter;Global Brand Database unter www.wipo.int/branddb/en/; Suchmaschine der WIPO zu Marken und Markenanmeldungen aus nationalen und internationalen Quellen; Website von STADLER VÖLKEL Rechtsanwälte: https://www.svlaw.at/ Mag.

Crefovi’s daily updates: Brexit has caused mayhem in the orderly world of trademark oppositions and intellectual property offices, at the EU level (EUIPO) and the UK level (UKIPO). How, as an opponent and/or applicant, can you react to such brutal and completely opposite stances, adopted by the EUIPO and the UKIPO, on their post-Brexit competence with respect to ongoing oppositions filed on the ground of UK law and filed on the ground of EU law? What is the best approach, in order to preserve your rights, when nothing is clear in the respective policies of the EUIPO and UKIPO, on current and ongoing opposition proceedings for trademarks, post Brexit? #Brexit #UKIPO #EUIPO #trademark #trademarkopposition #opposition
On today’s podcast: Weekend Long Reads Patent Reveals New Images Of Lucid Motors’ Gravity Suv Uk EV Prices Reduced Due To Grant Change How The Porsche Taycan's Innovative Electric Motors Work European Engineers Tackle Ev Lightweighting Four Evs Mercedes Is Bringing To The U.S. By 2022 Nissan In Tweet Storm As E-Power Ad Hits A False Note Spain, Seat, & Iberdrola Will Use Eu Funds For Ev Battery Factory Volvo Group Venture Capital Invests In Driivz Ev Charging Software Company Show #1027 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Saturday 20th March. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. We'll start with you weekend long reads - if you have 10 - 15 mins I recommend these articles: TIME FOR OHIO TO EMBRACE ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION https://eu.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/2021/03/19/opinion-time-ohio-embrace-electric-transportation/4767483001/ SEATTLE’S VISION FOR AN ALL-ELECTRIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM https://southseattleemerald.com/2021/03/20/weekend-long-reads-seattles-vision-for-an-all-electric-transportation-system/ A CHAT WITH DEREK JENKINS, LUCID MOTORS SENIOR V.P. OF DESIGN https://www.autoblog.com/2021/03/18/lucid-motors-derek-jenkins-interview-gravity-air-electric-vehicles/#slide-2262267 PATENT REVEALS NEW IMAGES OF LUCID MOTORS’ GRAVITY SUV "Lucid’s astute forum members have uncovered news the automaker may or may not want the public to see yet. Patent images of Lucid Motors’ upcoming Gravity SUV were uncovered in a filing with the EUIPO." asys electrk: "Lucid has added a lot more glass to its roof compared to the concept images. This should let in a lot more natural light and help the interior cabin feel roomier overall. front end appears to be slightly bigger, while the back end is noticeably so. The concept back end sort of bubbled out, but it appears Lucid has now moved the rear bumper out further. This should allow for more cargo. Additionally, it looks like Lucid plans to add slightly wider glass to the rear as well, again allowing more natural light within the SUV and better visibility looking out the back." https://electrek.co/2021/03/18/patent-reveals-new-images-of-lucid-motors-gravity-suv/ Let's mop up some of the news from Thursday as the UK cut the EV grant from £3000 to £2500, but more importantly slashed the threshold from £50k to £35k, and even more importantly did it immediately. UK EV PRICES REDUCED DUE TO GRANT CHANGE "Many car firms will now be adjusting their prices, like Citroen, to come in under the ceiling. Citroen’s price changes will mean all variants of the electric hatchback will now qualify for the government’s plug-in car grant. The French firm reduced the price of is top-spec e-C4 Shine Plus models by £550 meaning that the entirety of the range is eligible for the grant." says CarDealer Magazine: "On the road pricing for the e-C4 now starts from £30,895 to £32,495, inclusive of the £2,500 grant. MG said on Friday that it will continue to offer buyers of its electric vehicles a £3,000 discount. The firm pledged to make up the additional £500 until the end of the month in a critical plate change month for the motor trade." AutoExpress add: "Shine Plus version of its new all-electric family hatchback is the most popular variant. It is just one of many electric cars on sale in Britain that may now receive a retail price cut in order to still qualify for the newly reduced grant. This particular e-C4 was previously priced from £35,495 and the new on-the-road price stands at £34,995. The e-C4 makes use of a 134bhp electric motor and 50kWh battery system and Citroen claims a maximum range of 217 miles on a full charge." As for the VW range, they opted not to change any prices. But did put out a press release reminding you that two of their ID.3 models were available under the threshold unlike just one which I said yesterday. “D.3 Life Pro and ID.3 Life Pro Performance. The ID.3 Life Pro Performance went on sale late last year and has since gone on to be crowned ‘Small Electric Car of the Year’ by What Car? at its Car of the Year Awards 2021. It features a 204 PS motor and 58 kWh battery (net capacity), which provides a WLTP range of 263 miles. the ID.3 Life Pro was introduced and offers a new motor option and lower price for entry into the ID.3 range. It retains the 58 kWh batteryt” And the new ID.3 Pure model with a 45kWh battery is out later this year. https://cardealermagazine.co.uk/publish/car-firms-move-to-cut-ev-prices-after-governments-shock-move-to-slash-plug-in-car-grant-funding/219685 HOW THE PORSCHE TAYCAN'S INNOVATIVE ELECTRIC MOTORS WORK "Many EVs such as the Audi e-tron use a more affordable asynchronous machine (ASM) or asynchronous electric motor, but Porsche uses a permanently excited synchronous machine (PSM) that it says is less prone to overheating." says Carbuzz: "Describing the supply and control of three-phase AC voltage for the PSM, Porsche says: "The speed of the motor is determined by the frequency at which the alternating voltage oscillates around the zero point from plus to minus. In Taycan motors, the pulse inverter sets the frequency of the rotating field in the stator, thereby regulating the speed of the rotor." https://carbuzz.com/news/heres-how-the-porsche-taycans-innovative-electric-motors-work EUROPEAN ENGINEERS TACKLE EV LIGHTWEIGHTING "Engineers at the Technological Institute of Aragon (ITAINNOVA) here are coordinating a new European Union initiative to develop lightweight components for electric vehicles." says AssemblyMag.coM: "These technologies can directly contribute to improving vehicle efficiency in terms of kilowatt hours consumed per kilometer, as well as vehicle autonomy, and also reduce environmental impact."...focusing on three different components: a cross beam, a suspension control arm, and a battery clamping and packing system." https://www.assemblymag.com/articles/96240-european-engineers-tackle-ev-lightweighting FOUR EVS MERCEDES IS BRINGING TO THE U.S. BY 2022 "The US was supposed to get the Mercedes-Benz EQC electric SUV but that didn’t happen and it never will. But that’s okay because the US will be getting four EVs over the next two years from the German luxury automaker’s EQ sub-brand. " according to InsideEVs: "Interestingly, two sedans will arrive first, not SUVs. The 2022 Mercedes EQS sedan will go on sale this fall and will soon enter production in Germany. The report didn’t mention a reveal date, but it’s likely around the corner. The EQE sedan is based on the same platform as the EQS and deliveries will start in 2022. The driving range is in the area of 400 miles. Mercedes-EQ’s two electric SUVs will be built in its Tuscaloosa, Alabama factory in 2022 (this was announced in December). Each one is an SUV variant of the EQS and EQE sedans and shares the same name." https://insideevs.com/news/494819/these-four-evs-mercedes-bringing-us-2022 NISSAN IN TWEET STORM AS E-POWER AD HITS A FALSE NOTE "Twitter has been ablaze with users airing their views on what they consider misleading claims by Nissan. They say the company hit the wrong note when proclaiming that the e-Power drive has a “100% electric motor-driven system.”" reports electrive: " the drive’s main energy source is not the battery but a gasoline engine that acts exclusively as a generator. Twitter users know that. Their responses ranged from irritation – “wait, is it a hybrid?” – to distain as this example shows: “Wait a minute. You just invented a car with a gas burning engine which powers an electric motor? I mean… Congratulations, Nissan. You just invented the 2011 Chevrolet Volt. What a billion dollar facepalm.” Nissan is not alone in trying to make their cars sound greener than they are. We remember that Toyota and Lexus would repeatedly advertise their simple hybrid models as “self-charging”. A claim so misleading, the Norwegian Consumer Agency banned such commercials." https://www.electrive.com/2021/03/17/nissan-in-tweet-storm-as-e-power-ad-hits-a-false-note/ SPAIN, SEAT, & IBERDROLA WILL USE EU FUNDS FOR EV BATTERY FACTORY "Spain plans to use funding from the European Union to create a public-private consortium with Volkswagen Group’s SEAT, based in Spain, and the power company Iberdrola to build Spain’s first EV battery factory. " says CleanTechnica: "Battery production would create many jobs, and it would be supporting the key need for much more climate-fighting cleantech, in this case electric vehicles. Spain was looking to revamp Nissan’s main car plant near Barcelona into a battery production facility in order to preserve thousands of jobs. That plant closed back in December.". https://cleantechnica.com/2021/03/17/spain-seat-iberdrola-will-use-eu-funds-for-ev-battery-factory/ VOLVO GROUP VENTURE CAPITAL INVESTS IN DRIIVZ EV CHARGING SOFTWARE COMPANY Volvo Group Venture Capital has invested in Driivz Ltd., a leading global EV charging software company which has developed a platform for managing large charging networks for electric vehicles from end-to-end.

The core of every business is its ideas, concepts and know-how. Protecting this intellectual property (IP) is standard for large companies, but is often still a mystery for SMEs. In this episode, we speak to the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), whose mission is to help businesses register their IP. Our guests Andrea Di Carlo, Deputy Executive Director and Inge Buffolo, Director of the Customer Department, explain to us why so few SMEs protect their IP and how the new EUIPO program “Ideas powered for business” can be the solution.But where does the accountancy profession fit in?According to data from EUIPO, accountants are the most trusted advisor for SMEs and they can play a critical role in setting SMEs up for success through the protection of their IP. At the same time, this offers new opportunities for the accountancy profession, to become holistic business advisors to their clients. If this episode has piqued your interest, we would like to welcome you to our joint event with EUIPO on May 4th. Further information on the event and registration will follow shortly.Links to check out:EUIPO program “Ideas powered for business”EUIPO website Follow-up paper: SME risk management - Insolvency See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Tiene razón el concejal Adrián Santos cuando recuerda que ha habido tiempo desde el año 92 para que esa zona se hubiera convertido en un espacio verde y, ahora, no tendríamos este problema. Y es que al margen de las mercancías peligrosas o inflamables, que no creo que se le ocurra a nadie llevar al centro de Alicante, tampoco tiene mucho sentido que la playa de vías tras la Casa Mediterráneo se convierta en un aparcamiento temporal para trenes. La Columna de Carlos Arcaya: La inoportuna indisposición del alcalde Barcala No merece la pena lamentarse por la leche derramada o por la indolencia de sucesivos consistorios. En cualquier caso, es una pena esa inoportuna indisposición del alcalde Barcala que le impidió el lunes recibir al presidente del Gobierno, al ministro de Fomento y a la presidenta de ADIF en la estación de ferrocarril antes de la inauguración de la línea del AVE a Elche y Orihuela. Hubiera podido aprovechar la ocasión para pedir explicaciones por esta decisión de ADIF y ya que estamos, para exigirle la retirada de las vías por la fachada marítima frente a San Gabriel y la EUIPO y para recordarle la necesidad de que se lleve a cabo el soterramiento. Una pena, vamos, teniendo en cuenta lo reivindicativo que suele ser nuestro primer edil.

Comment déposer et bien protéger sa marque ? C'est ce que va t'expliquer mon invité Nathalie MATTEODA. Elle avocate et experte en propriété intellectuelle. Nathalie exerce depuis plusieurs années et depuis 10 ans elle est à son compte avec son cabinet qui accompagne des entrepreneur(e)s dans leur dépôt de marque et brevet. Elle va donc nous donner des informations pour éviter les erreurs communes que font beaucoup d'entrepreneurs. Ces erreurs peuvent coûter des sommes d'argent importants et faire "couler" des sociétés. On parlera aussi des brevets et du dépôt de sa marque à l'international. Donc reste bien jusqu'au bout car il y a vraiment beaucoup de très bon conseil.
Show #800 Good morning, good afternoon and good evening wherever you are in the world, welcome to EV News Daily for Friday 5th June 2020. It’s Martyn Lee here and I go through every EV story so you don't have to. Thank you to MYEV.com for helping make this show, they’ve built the first marketplace specifically for Electric Vehicles. It’s a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. MERCEDES-BENZ EQS PROTOTYPE SPOTTED AT A CHARGING STATION "Sometimes you can spot unique vehicles at the IONITY chargers. One of the MINI Cooper SE drivers in Germany recently spotted two all-electric prototypes of Mercedes-Benz EQS at an IONITY fast-charging station in Gruibingen. Both were covered during charging (also the dashboard) and then uncovered right before departure." reports InsideEVs: "The EQS looks pretty good (although still in camouflage) and as an electric EQ equivalent of S-Class, might be the most direct Tesla Model S competitor up to date.It remains unknown how fast the EQS will charge at the IONITY - for sure not slower than the Mercedes-Benz EQC (150 kW), but it might be higher. The market launch of the EQS is expected in 2022 with 500 km (310 miles) of WLTP range." Also...fake exhaust pipes. https://insideevs.com/news/426754/mercedes-benz-eqs-prototype-seen-charging/ So why not just embrace it? Which Mercedes-Benz did. "Mercedes-Benz has revealed the first official picture of a production EQS electric car although it features a camouflage wrap." reports Electrek: "Now it remains to be seen if Mercedes-Benz also toned down the specs of the EQS because they announced some quite impressive ones when unveiling the concept. The automaker talked about a 100 kWh battery pack enabling “up to 700 km” of WLTP range, which should result in over 350 miles of EPA-rated miles. Mercedes-Benz also mentioned that the EQS would be capable of charging at up to 350 kW, which would be a new industry-leading charging capacity." https://electrek.co/2020/06/03/mercedes-benz-eqs-first-production-electric-car-picture-albeit-camouflage/ RIVIAN FILES TRADEMARKS FOR "R1V" & "R2X" Even though production hasn't started yet Rivian is looking to the future by filing trademark applications with the EUIPO for "R1V" and "R2X". According to the filings the trademarks are for areas such as "Land vehicles and parts and fittings therefor, namely, structural parts and powertrain components in the nature of electric motors, gearboxes and axles; motor vehicle bodies". Which makes sense since the R1V is likely going to be the name for the Amazon Delivery Van. But what makes it even more interesting is that they also mention "all terrain vehicles (ATVs)" and "bicycles". Maybe we'll get an ATV that can fit in the back of the R1T?! https://www.rivianownersforum.com/threads/rivian-files-trademarks-for-r1v-r2x.579/ TESLA MODEL Y FACTORY SHELL IN CHINA’S GIGAFACTORY SHANGHAI IS COMPLETE "Over the past few months, Tesla China has been hard at work ramping the production of the Made-in-China Model 3 and the construction of the site’s Model Y factory, known otherwise as the Phase 2 zone. Activity in Phase 2 has been impressive, with the buildout of two large structures (dubbed in the EV community as Phase 2A and 2B) progressing every week." says Teslrati: "Now, a recent report from Chinese media outlet Global Times has revealed that the factory shell for Gigafactory Shanghai’s Model Y facility (Phase 2A) has been completed. The buildout of the Model Y facility’s shell took less than five months. Elon Musk has stated that the Model Y will likely outsell the Model S, Model 3, and Model X combined. Considering the size of the crossover market and China’s auto market as a whole, such a statement is barely an exaggeration." https://www.teslarati.com/tesla-model-y-factory-gigafactory-shanghai-completed/ TESLA IS HIRING FOR INSURANCE PROGRAM IN THE UK "Tesla is hiring for a Program Manager in the insurance and underwriting field in the UK. The job location is in London and is a full-time position. That seems to indicate something that will make Tesla owners and future owners quite happy." reports CleanTechnica: "It appeals that Tesla wants to develop motor insurance products for customers in the UK and plans to enhance their ownership while lowering the cost of ownership just as it has done in California. One of the key responsibilities that Tesla wants this future new employee to do is forget the standard products that the market has offered for centuries. Tesla wants to develop auto insurance that is worthy of the 21st century and made just for Tesla owners — the company wants its insurance to represent it fully. Just last year, Tesla launched its insurance in California. While Warren Buffet criticized this branching out and said that Tesla would struggle, it seems that Tesla knows what it’s doing. This is because Tesla is laser-focused on the needs of its customers. So far, California is the only state with Tesla Insurance." TESLA LAUNCHES MODEL Y CONFIGURATOR IN CHINA Tesla’s Shanghai-built Model Y is now available for configuration. Tesla launched the configurator this week, offering the Long Range AWD and the Performance versions of the Model Y. While no delivery date is provided, production is expected to begin in 2021. Tesla Chief Executive Elon Musk kicked off China’s Model Y at an event in January. More signs the Model Y won't be exported to China and Europe. CAVERION NOW SERVICE PARTNER FOR IONITY IN FIVE COUNTRIES "innish company Caverion and the high power charging joint venture Ionity have entered into an international service partnership. Caverion is responsible for the maintenance and service of transformers at Ionity’s HPC stations for electric vehicles in Norway, Finland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia." says electrive: "The new service contract is not the first cooperation between the Finnish company and Ionity. Caverion is currently installing new charging stations for Ionity in Norway and Sweden." https://www.electrive.com/2020/06/03/caverion-now-service-partner-for-ionity-in-five-countries/ FROM POWERWALL TO POWER-PANELS: SPAN CEO CLAIMS ‘BREAKTHROUGH’ FOR HOME BATTERIES "A former Tesla head of products has said that his new start-up’s redesign of the humble electrical panel offers “breakthrough interaction with home batteries,” and can streamline both labour and component costs of energy storage installations." according to Energy Storage News: "Span CEO Arch Rao was leader of the product team at Tesla as it launched its own Powerwall home energy storage system in 2015. Claiming to have reinvented the home electrical panel, Span’s panel enables monitoring and controls that are aimed to enable better use of today’s modern, connected devices, including transparency for the backup functions that batteries can serve. As well as enabling the easy and controllable addition of solar, storage and EV charging to home electrical systems, the company wants the panel to act as a “digital interface for your entire home,” perhaps mirroring the way that the Nest thermostat has been successful in adding functionality, transparency and control to home climate control. Indeed, Matt Rogers, co-founder of Nest, is part of the leadership team at Span investor Incite." https://www.energy-storage.news/news/from-powerwalls-to-power-panels-span-ceo-claims-breakthrough-for-home-batte HOW TO GO ELECTRIC WITH MAXIMUM BENEFIT "With the right grid connection, the right technology and the right partner, organizations can turn their depots into intelligent energy hubs, where vehicle fleets can charge quickly, efficiently and cost effectively." says ABB. Charge flexibly and smartly By varying the rate of charging for each vehicle and at the same time using a charging-schedule that, when possible, optimizes charging times to access lower electricity rates, fleet operators can cut their power costs by more than 50 percent Optimize site performance with load-control technology In some sites, electric vehicles may not represent the only significant load on the electrical infrastructure. Many sites are not yet optimized, or even capable of coping with the heavy demand generated by a whole fleet of EVs. Invest in energy storage Another way to benefit from lower energy costs is to use on-site energy storage. This is particularly useful for fleet operators with vehicles in use throughout the day, some of which cannot feasibly be on site to charge at times when the electricity tariffs are lowest. Generate energy on site Cut costs by using solar power plus energy storage and other forms of electricity to generate power on site. Invest inelectrical infrastructure that’s futureproof Protect the returns of any EV investment by making new infrastructure future-proof. https://www.abb-conversations.com/2020/06/the-future-of-mobility-is-here/ PANDEMIC SHOWS A LOW-CARBON FUTURE IN DIRE NEED OF BATTERIES "Coronavirus has exposed a lack of investment in the big batteries crucial to unlocking solar and wind power. A drop in energy demand caused by the pandemic has left European grids overloaded with green electricity, raising the threat of blackouts and underlining the need for energy storage in a low-carbon energy system." wqrites Bloomberg Green: "For decades, power markets have been designed around demand and ensuring there is enough supply to fulfill peak consumption. Slowly the focus is changing to how to control an oversupply when it’s sunny or windy. And with renewables having priority feeding into the grid, they have more influence over how the system is managed. For battery owners, swings in prices when renewables hit the grid could be a major opportunity. Batteries can charge up when solar and wind generation is plentiful and market rates are low, and then sell power to the grid when prices are higher. With enough capacity on the system, buying and selling from battery operators could ultimately help ease the price swings." https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-06-03/pandemic-shows-a-low-carbon-future-in-dire-need-of-batteries QUESTION OF THE WEEK Critics say EVs are on the for the rich, so what do you view as ‘affordable’ prices?

La contrefaçon un est un fléau pour l’union européenne, mais trop souvent, les effet sont sous estimés par le grand public. Chaque année, elle coûte 60 milliards d'euros à l’Union européenne et fait perdre plus de 468 000 emplois sur l’ensemble du continent. Si nous avons tous à l’esprit les faux sac Chanel, ou polo Lacoste, elle touche des pans de l'économie très variés allant de l’horlogerie, aux spiritueux… Dernière victime en date l’italien Piaggio et son pourtant inimitable Vespa. Le célèbre scooter écume nos routes depuis 1946, mais malgré tout, le groupe doit se battre pour que les copies ne passent pas la seconde ! Lors du dernier salon des deux roues à Milan, des scooter au look très similaire ont être retirés par les autorités après qu'une plainte déposée par Piaggio. La marque italienne qui doit faire retirer, ou invalider, une cinquantaine de brevets à travers le monde pour préserver son héritage. En Europe, c’est l'Office de l'Union européenne pour la propriété intellectuelle (EUIPO) qui se charge de faire respecter les ayants droits. Un véritable travail de fourmis qui oblige à une surveillance continue des bases de données des dessins et marques enregistrés au niveau international. Rien qu’en France, tout secteur confondus, les contrefaçons font perdre aux fabricants hexagonaux 6,2% de leurs ventes directes chaque année, soit environ 7 milliards d’euros. Pour autant, le travail de protection commence à payer : à l’échelle européenne, le manque à gagner a reculé dans tous les secteurs sauf dans deux. Les plus important en termes de volumes de ventes et d’emploi: celui des vêtements, chaussures et accessoires. Alors, souvenez-vous en lors de vos prochaines vacances à l’étranger : non il n’y a pas en la matière de tolérance pour ramener un t shirt, des sac ou encore les dernières baskets à la mode : un produit contrefait dans vos bagages peut venir gâcher la fin des vacances !
Майк Шинода написал музыку к русскому блокбастеру. Участник Linkin Park Майк Шинода выложил в сеть трек "Fine". Он написал эту композицию специально для российского блокбастера "Аванпост". - Когда режиссер фильма Егор Баранов прислал мне отрывок из фильма, у меня в голове сразу же появилась идея, какую песню я хотел бы для него записать, – говорит Майк Шинода. – Напряжение и тревожная обстановка фильма мгновенно нашли отклик в моем сердце. Блокбастер "Аванпост" спродюсировали Валерий Федорович и Евгений Никишов (“Метро 2033”), режиссер - Егор Баранов. Эта антиутопия повествует о катастрофе, которая происходит в ближайшем российском будущем. По сюжету, группа выживших пытается разобраться в причинах катаклизма. Coldplay презентуют новый альбом в прямом эфире. Презентация нового альбома Coldplay "Everyday Life" состоится 22 ноября в прямом эфире на YouTube. Эта презентация - результат сотрудничества группы с каналом YouTube Originals, который будет транслировать два их эксклюзивных концерта в Аммане, Иордания. В ходе концертов группа впервые исполнит живьем весь материал альбома. Шоу под названием "Coldplay: Everyday Life - Live in Jordan" будет, как и альбом, состоять из двух частей: "Sunrise" начнется в 4.00 по Гринвичу, а "Sunset" - в 14.00 по Гринвичу. - Сделать два таких концерта было нашей мечтой с тех пор, как мы начали работу над этим альбомом, - говорится в пресс-релизе группы. - Это немного невероятно и немного страшно, как все лучшие мечты. Justin BIEBER хочет получить 20 миллионов лайков, чтобы выпустить новый альбом. Джастин Бибер пообещал выпустить новый альбом до конца 2019 года в обмен на лайки: он попросил своих фанатов собрать 20 миллионов лайков в Instagram. Если лайков окажется достаточно, альбом, над которым артист работает с октября, увидит свет перед Рождеством. — Я почти закончил, но с вашей поддержкой сделаю это еще быстрее, — сообщил Джастин. На сегодняшний день публикация собрала 9,6 млн лайков. Альбом носит рабочее название "Jummy Yummy". У нас только один вопрос: сколько лайков нужно поставить и кому, чтобы альбомы Джастина Бибера перестали выходить с такой интенсивностью? Пользователь YouTube Dylan Tallchief смог создать драм-машину внутри Excel с помощью стандартных возможностей. Программа как бы становится MIDI-контроллером и запускает семплы ударных в прописанной последовательности. По словам создателя, между таблицами и степ-секвенсорами немало общего. Excel не воспроизводит звуки, но зато информацию из ячеек можно направить в качестве MIDI-сигнала и управлять высотой и скоростью звуков. Свой проект Excel Drum Machine автор выложил для бесплатного ознакомления. По умолчанию, за синтез звука в нем отвечает Microsoft GS Wavetable Synth, встроенная в Windows, но энтузиасты смогут использовать что-то другое, чтобы создавать собственные треки в Excel (хотя это, прямо скажем, не так-то просто). Новое исследование EUIPO (Бюро интеллектуальной собственности Европейского союза) показало, что уровень музыкального пиратства в Европе сокращается. Опрос проводился среди молодых людей в возрасте от 15 до 24 лет. И если в 2016 году 56% «пиратили» музыку, то за последний год к нелицензионному аудиоконтенту обратилось 39%. Интересно, что нынешнюю статистику ухудшают самые бедные страны ЕС — например, Литва, в которой уровень музыкального пиратства составляет 45%. В то же время в наиболее экономически развитых странах Европы оно распространено слабо. Для примера, в Германии — это всего 13%, в Великобритании — 14%. Исследование показало, что сейчас у трети молодых людей есть доступ к нелицензионной музыке. И их количество снижается Кроме того, из статистики EUIPO можно сделать вывод, что снижение потребления нелицензионного аудиоконтента значительно опережает видеоконтент — в этой отрасли в 2016 году 85% прибегали в пиратству, в 2019-м — 79%. Это говорит о том, что смещение модели прослушивания в сторону стримингов благотворно повлияло на музыкальную индустрию и снизило пиратство, но подобного пока не происходит с киноиндустрией и рынком видео.

In this episode, Hugh sits down with Etienne Sanz de Acedo, the CEO of the International Trademark Association (INTA), an organization that is dedicated to supporting trademarks and related IP. INTA members come from more than 190 countries. Prior to joining INTA, Etienne had several roles at EUIPO, formerly OHIM, including Head of the Communications Service. Before that, Etienne practiced as an attorney in Spain and taught law at the University of Alicante, Spain. Hugh and Etienne explore how Etienne ended up at INTA after 15 years at EUIPO, the Association’s goals and strategies, where the U.S. stands in terms of support of trademarks and IP in general and the Unreal Campaign. This campaign is aimed to educate teenagers about intellectual property rights and the risks of buying counterfeit goods. They also discuss whether the Trump administration is good for IP, the evolving view of IP from the perspective of academics and why INTA is moving its China office from Shanghai to Beijing: "[A]t the time we opened that office [in Shanghai], the business was more in Shanghai. [T]he Chinese government was not that open. Since then, things have changed and we think it makes more sense to be closer to the government, to the officials. . . . They're clearly on listening mode and there are definitely things that have improved. But again . . . there is still a lot of improvement that needs to take place."

Uno de los valores de Gracia y Paz, es que somos un EQUIPO. Partiendo de este pasaje de Romanos 12:5, y tomando el modelo Biblico que el ministerio se ejerce como equipo, Jesus y el Padre, Jesus y los Discipulos, Jesus y su Iglesia, Con Jesus somos el equipo vencedor, en su llamado y proposito, sabemos que no son los mejores jugadores los que ganan un campeonato, los mejores equipos si ganan campeonatos.
