Miami is a vibrant, action-packed city, famous for its year round sun, fabulous beaches and sizzling nightlife, making it one of America’s leading playgrounds for the rich and famous With Matt Damon and Lenny Kravitz choosing to live there and the likes of Gwen Stefani and Beyonce Knowles holidaying there, Miami is definitely the land of the beautiful people, and you cannot help but be attracted to this ultra-glam destination. After spending a few hectic days at Florida favorite, Walt Disney World, the luxury and sophistication of Miami was a welcome relief. Bordered by the Atlantic Ocean, Miami is all turquoise waters, blue skies and beautiful buildings. With Cuba just 100 miles across the water the Latin feel is ever present and contributes to the buzzing and cosmopolitan vibe of the city. After checking in at my city centre base I was keen to get out and explore this eclectic culture.

architecture of the area. Special but unusual features in the Loews Miami Beach include a popcorn machine and ‘Dive-In’ movies at the pool area. Other special touches include 300-thread count bed linens, Bloom toiletries and an ‘Ultimate Doeskin’ robe. While in South Beach I couldn’t resist a peak at the Versace mansion, apparently the most photographed building in Miami. Although it’s now a private club, tourists still flock to photograph the steps where the legendary fashion designer, Gianni Versace was gunned down in 1997. Being so close to Cuba, Miami is a gateway to Latin America and the Hispanic culture is obvious. I took a trip out to Little Havana, which, as the name suggests, is a little Cuban enclave. The vibe here is completely different to the cool street scene of South Beach. The sound of salsa permeates the streets and the smell of tobacco wafts through the air as old women sit and chat in doorways. Bizarrely this almost feels like the real Miami, with most of its residents having settled here back in the 1950s, following Fidel Castro’s coup. I couldn’t come to Miami without sampling its legendary beaches. Water surrounds Miami and the beach stretches ten blocks so you can safely bag yourself a spot. It’s worth going for the people watching opportunities alone, which range from the beautiful to the ridiculous.

SOUTH BEACH

DOWNTOWN MIAMI

Words: Samantha Day

Stay at the five-star Loews Miami Beach Hotel; one of South Beach’s premiere luxury hotels. With views of the Atlantic, the hotel is slap bang in the fashionable Art Deco District and the buzzing South Beach is right on your doorstep. In terms of location alone this is the hotel to stay at and despite being so central, once you’re inside, the Loews cocoons you with its palatial splendour. Loews covers 900feet of oceanfront and despite its size the design has been worked to fit in with the Art Deco

Downtown Miami offers a completely different experience to South Beach. Located on Brickell Key, the five-star Mandarin Oriental is a far cry from the craziness of South Beach, and the stunning views from my balcony more than compensate for the out-of-town location. Downtown Miami pulsates with activity and provides a fantastic mix of commercial, cultural and leisure pursuits, alongside a mix of ethnicities and glamour, which makes for interesting exploration.

It is also a defence in respect of an alleged patent infringement for the person making the threat to prove that he used his best endeavours, without success, to discover the identity of the person who imported the patented product for disposal or who used the patented process provided that the person making the threats notified the alleged infringer before or at the time of making the threats, identifying the endeavours used.

Remedies • • • • • • •

The claimant in an unjustified threats action may seek: A declaration that the threats lacked justification; Damages in respect of any loss which the claimant has sustained by the threats; and An injunction to prevent further threats.

Limit the allegations of infringement to IP rights which are not covered by threats legislation, such as passing off and misuse of confidential information. This approach, coupled with allegations of infringement of IP rights covered by threats legislation, but drafted within the exceptions, could prove a safe route for cautious IP owners who wish to avoid a threats action. Make a full allegation of infringement, covering all acts, including secondary infringements not covered by the exceptions. This approach risks an unjustified threats action, but such actions are rarely brought, particularly in cases where the threat can be justified. Incur the expense of actually issuing proceedings and threaten to serve the proceedings if the Defendant does not comply with your demands. This avoids the possibility of an unjustified threats action because proceedings have already been issued when the threat is made. We would recommend sending a letter in the form of the penultimate bulletpoint seeking broad undertakings in the majority of occasions. We will advise you on the approach we consider is most appropriate for your case.

Practical steps Although IP rights owners should be aware of the unjustified threats legislation, this should not discourage them from threatening to issue proceedings where there is a genuine claim. IP rights owners who wish to take action, therefore, have the following options: Send a mere notification that the IP right exists. The advantage with this is that it cannot be used as a basis for an unjustified threats action. The disadvantages are that the recipient may see it as a sign of weakness that the IP rights owner feels they may be at risk of an unjustified threats action if any threats were made, and there will not be any opportunity to obtain undertakings from the alleged infringer.

UK Copyright Law - The Hargreaves Digital Makeover

23 June 2011

After six months of review, Professor Ian Hargreaves’ much anticipated report “Digital Opportunity - A Review of Intellectual Property and Growth” was finally published on May 18th 2011. The report was commissioned in November 2010 by Prime Minister David Cameron, amid concerns that the UK’s IP system, and particularly copyright law, has not kept pace with digital developments and, accordingly, is unfit for the internet age. Professor Hargreaves was, in particular, asked to look at what the UK could learn from the US’s “fair use” rules, which cover circumstances when copyrighted material may be used without the rights holders’ express permission. He advises that importing fair use wholesale is unlikely to be legally feasible in the UK, given the UK’s obligations under European law. Instead, the UK can achieve many of the benefits of fair use (which is more flexible and less rights owner friendly than the European approach), through adopting copyright exceptions already permitted under European law.

Key Recommendations: 1. Copyright Licensing The UK should create the world’s first “Digital Copyright Exchange”, to be implemented by the end of 2012. By this, Professor Hargreaves envisages a digital market place, akin to a “one stop online copyright shop” whereby licences in copyright content can be readily bought and sold. It is anticipated that a Digital Copyright Exchange would help centralise and simplify the process, making it more automated, faster and cheaper. However, the target of a 2012 implementation date is regarded by many as overly ambitious, given that it will take significant time, resource and commitment from rights holders to ensure that the relevant rights to the relevant works are recorded accurately within the Exchange, and to enable any kind of efficient licensing solution. Other questions such as who will fund and police the Exchange, and how restrictions on licences will be recorded, will also need to be considered. The UK should also support moves by the European Commission to establish a framework for cross border copyright licensing in the EU with a common code of practice for copyright collecting societies to ensure that they operate in a way that is consistent with the further development of efficient, open markets.

A taste of pre-trial discovery: Inspection proceedings in German law

Make the allegations in the course of “without prejudice” communications with the alleged infringer which are genuinely aimed at settling the dispute. The concern with this approach is that, if negotiations fail, the alleged infringer may argue that the communication is not privileged and seek to rely on it to form the basis of an unjustified threats action.

The UK Courts have, in the recent decision of HTC Europe Co Ltd v Apple Inc, opened the possibility of super-expedited patent proceedings as a vehicle to attempt to assist an application to stay parallel German invalidity proceedings.

need to be able to prevent unauthorised use of their intellectual property rights but without obstructing innovation and growth.

It is, however, important to remember that even if a case has a good chance of being super-expedited in the UK, it will only be worthwhile if the application to stay the German infringement proceedings is successful. Given that, for the time being, patents remain national rights, a parallel UK decision will only ever have persuasive character in German Courts; however that persuasive character may be sufficient to tip the balance in favour of a stay of the German infringement proceedings.

IPCom too slow to amend

An IP owner can defend an unjustified threats action by showing that the threats were justified, in that the acts complained of were actually infringements of the IP right. Special care should be taken when alleging infringement of pending applications to register an IP right because this defence will not apply if the application has still not been granted by the time the court considers the threat. Furthermore, this defence does not apply to threats for infringement of registered trade marks and registered designs if the claimant proves that the IP right is invalid. This contrasts with patent legislation which provides that the patent owner can rely on this defence of justification if, at the time of making the threat, the patent owner did not know or had no reason to suspect that the patent was invalid in a particular respect.

Nick Rose Partner, IP & Technology Dispute Resolution

Mr Justice Arnold concluded that good administration of justice required the UK Action to consider all patents in suit at the same time, including the equivalent to the patent in suit in the Mannheim Action. There was an unavoidable minimum technical and legal complexity which the parties needed to address. Granting superexpedited proceedings in respect of the patent in suit in the Mannheim Action, such that the trial would take place as soon as January 2012, would put undue pressure and prejudice on Apple. Other factors which the Judge considered included the fact that no timetable had yet been set in the Manheim Action, and that the judgment in that action was not expected until some four to six weeks after the trial. Further, the Judge took into account that HTC would possibly be able to make an application to delay or suspend any injunction resulting from the Mannheim Action once the High Court’s Judgment becomes available.

greater the degree of expedition sought, the stronger the applicant’s case will have to be. Given that the applicant will have to overcome persuasive arguments of good administration of justice and prejudice, it is likely that only simple technical cases concerning a single patent in suit will be successful.

2. Orphan Works Legislation should be introduced to permit access to “orphan works” (i.e. works where the copyright holder cannot be traced). Often, where one of potentially many copyright owners of a particular work cannot be located, they are effectively holding the interests of others to ransom because, without their consent, it is an offence to exploit that work commercially. A work should only be treated as an orphan work if it cannot be found by a search on the proposed Digital Copyright Exchange databases. Professor Hargreaves advocates the establishment of an extended collective licensing system for mass licensing of orphan works, and a clearance procedure for use of such works. The proposal will allow organisations such as the BBC and BFI to use copyrighted archive material that would previously not have been permitted to be shown because of doubts about ownership.

3. Copyright Exceptions Perhaps the most important idea in the report is that the UK should take advantage of all the EU sanctioned exceptions to copyright, bringing our law more into line internationally with more progressive copyright regimes. Specific proposals include allowing exceptions for: - copying for private purposes, such as shifting music from a laptop to an mp3 player. Making “format shifting” legal is one solution proposed to bring the UK’s regime up to date with current patterns of media consumption, clarifying an area of legal uncertainty for consumers copying which does not conflict with the core aims of copyright - for example, data mining or search engine web-page crawling and indexing, which involve the - copying of content so that online service providers can analyse and enable access to information copying material for use in parody. The report cites recent parody “Newport State of Mind” (based upon “Empire State of Mind”, by Jay-Z) which resulted in action by the producers, EMI, and the video’s removal from YouTube. Under US “fair use” exceptions, parodies are often permitted which explains why previous parodies of the same song in the US have attracted less attention. 7

WHILE the whole of Glasto will be watching Beyoncé’s headline set under the stars – Professor Green will probably be getting stoned in his caravan watching on the box. The rapper admitted he’ll be keeping dry and getting high after my snapper spotted him rolling a suspicious-looking rolly on Saturday. Prof, who launched Mahiki Coconut Rum before heading to Worthy Farm, let slip: “I’ll be smoking weed, drinking whisky and watching the other acts on the TV. “I’m in a Winnebago this year, which is good because I hate mud. I’ll be getting very drunk.” But I can’t see the Prof inviting new girlband Parade back for shots.

Meanwhile, Queen B managed to avoid the mud for three days despite refusing to wear a pair of wellies. My snitch told me: “Beyoncé watched U2 and Coldplay side of stage so she didn’t get muddy. She’s planning to get driven right to the stage again tonight for her own performance. “Mariah doesn’t do stairs and Beyoncé doesn’t do mud.”

The chart topper arrived on the Other Stage on crutches before belting out her hits on a red and gold throne. And although Jessie didn’t moan once about the pain she did have a whinge about people’s fascination with her swinging both ways. The pop princess reckons people should keep schtum even if she does like to Do It Like A Dude every now and then. Ranting before her set she joked: “It’s getting so boring now – I’ve never denied it. “Whoopi-do guys – yes, I’ve dated girls and guys. Get over it. It’s not a secret and I’ve never made it one.” Message heard loud and clear. KATE Moss was later spotted watching Coldplay perform.
