It is at times like these that I wish I had taken the Civil Law curriculum at Tulane instead of the common law courses. Don't ask me how I passed the La. bar exam. vbg Anyway, the following precis [I did learn a little], suggests that injunctions are indeed available to IP owners under French law. However, things are undoubtedly more complex than this blurb sets them out to be as NOK claims it has, I guess, an implicit license. Incidentally, I wonder why they didn't make the same argument when Nokia got the 2001 license. All they had to do was not pay and wait for the 'negotiations' to drag out until eternity was over without infringing. The blurb: It is possible to obtain an interim injunction to stop infringing acts. An interim injunction is an order requiring the infringer not to engage in certain actions. For patents, designs and copyright, an interim injunction may be granted by the president of the court in all urgent cases if no serious objection is raised. Even where confronted with serious objections, the president may, at any time, order interim injuction measures. A specific interim injunction is available for trademark infringement. The trademark owner can ask the court to stop the infringing acts subject to the requirement that the action before the court be lodged soon after the claimant becomes aware of the infringement. Usually, the French courts consider that a maximum of six months’ delay is acceptable when requesting an injunction. A decision on the merits can be rendered quickly. Therefore, it is recommended that the claimant file an action within the six-month deadline. More at buildingipvalue.com
