Danger of referring to criminal provisions of other countries where the design law is different eg UDR does not exist #ACIDDMHDebate

Now Jan Vleck presents the contrary view, representing @TheCIPA #ACIDDMHDebate points out patent attorneys work with innovators.

Conran - of course you have to allow referencing - only direct copying is the issue #ACIDDMHDebate need to reward invention properly

Good point that SMEs do not have effective access to legal recourse #ACIDDMHDebate Particularly when made in small quantities

Now a designer - none other than Sebastian Conran #ACIDDMHDebate argues by analogy with copyright for literature and music

Keep hearing rubbish that only 4000 designs registered each year. OHIM registers about 100,000 per year #ACIDDMHDebate

Lord Clement Jones begins #ACIDDMHDebate responsible for IP Bill in the Lords wants criminal provisions to apply also to UNregistered design

Debate on criminal provisions for copying registered designs about to begin #ACIDDMHDebate

Just off to attend debate on whether there should be criminal provisions for design infringement @ACID_tweets Keeping open mind.

@rclaessen OK then you run into opposite problem - eg many multinationals do not trade everywhere in the name of the patent holding company

@rclaessen I think you have difficulty defining "genuine" in a manner that most entities that you want to call #NPE would not easily satisfy
