Neue Mitgliedstaaten internationaler Konventionen (Datum des Inkrafttretens)

Journée de droit de la propriété intellectuelle du 15 février 2008 organisée conjointement par Jacques de Werra, Professeur à la Faculté de droit de l’Université de Genève, et la plate-forme suisse de lutte contre la contrefaçon et la piraterie STOP A LA PIRATERIE

The Groups are invited to answer the following questions under their national laws: Swiss law does provide for liability for contributory infringement of IPRs in this sense.

Under Swiss law, the principle of exhaustion of intellectual property rights is not expressly ruled by legal provisions, with the exception of exhaustion of copyright (art. 12 Copyright Law, CL) and of exhaustion of patent rights in respect of certain goods for agricultural use (art. 27 b Subsection b of the Agriculture Act). However, this principle is generally admitted by doctrine and jurisprudence (BGE 126 III 129) also for trademarks, designs and patents.
