This Protocol has been applied in the Mobile World Congress since 2015 and has been highly effective at taking care of intellectual property rights. The Protocol is mainly aimed at granting, in a quick and effective manner, the interim relief required by the owners of intellectual property rights against potential infringement acts that may take place during this event, whilst at the same time avoiding to the extent possible that measures be adopted without previously hearing the defendants’ arguments.
The purpose of the Legal Update is to provide information on all the commitments included in the Protocol, in force throughout the month of February and until the end of the event, which all companies participating in the Mobile World Congress must take into account in order to be prepared for the event.
The entire content of the Legal Update can be found in the PDF.
