What Happens If a Copy Product Is Seen at a Fair Stand?

In short

If a copy product is seen at a fair stand, what is looked at is the stand number, the catalogue page, and the date. This record is not losing novelty by disclosing your own design at the fair, the number of days is not in this text, and the period in the neighbouring text is not carried here. The right holder ties the name of the fair, the stand number, and a photograph of the product to the document. An image without a number is not a description of the place. The product may disperse when the fair ends. Its dispersing does not of itself erase the record, and absence the next day does not destroy the previous day. The novelty period is not written into this record as a figure either.

The stand record describes the place

If the photograph also shows the stand number and the neighbouring stand, the description of the place is stronger. If the catalogue has the measurements of the same product, the photograph does not stand alone. A sentence of "it was in that hall" does not stand in for a photograph without a number. The name of the hall does not close the gap of a missing stand number. The effect on novelty of presenting your own design at a fair is in the account of a design disclosed at a fair. That text speaks of the period, and this body does not repeat those periods. The reading of a registered appearance stands apart in the design infringement text, and an unregistered appearance stands apart in the account of a copied design.

Preservation for goods that disperse is separate

Fair goods go down to a warehouse the next day, or go to another city. The route of preservation is in the account of preservation of evidence, and the record kept while the goods are on the stand is left to that route. A single prototype on the stand is not the stock of the shelf. If the same goods come down onto a shop shelf after the fair, that examination is read separately. The trade name on the list of participants may not be the same as the company that set up the stand. The printed trade name in the catalogue is read separately, and the two trade names are not dissolved in the same petition. The name on a badge is not the tenant of the stand. The tenant comes out of the trade name in the fair contract.

The tenant is read from the list

If you do not have the contract, the list of participants is requested. If the list comes down when the fair ends, that day's printout is kept, and memory without a printout is not put in place of the list. A stand number without a printout is completed with the name of the hall. The minutes do not, in every file, stand in for a photograph without a number. If a copy product is seen at a fair stand, the stand number, the catalogue, and the date are kept in the same record. The petition does not of itself write the name on the badge as the tenant. The application papers should also show the name of the fair and the day.

The authority is not chosen from the district of the stand

The office being in Çankaya does not choose the competent authority in a fair dispute. The district of the fairground does not, on its own, establish the authority for the novelty question either. The decision is not given while the stand photograph and the catalogue page are not side by side. The cover of a brochure does not stand in for the number either. If the application papers have no date, it is not drawn which fair is in dispute. If the list of participants has no date, that day is not treated as chosen. A day that is not written in the concrete file is not added to this text. The novelty period is not written beside this record as a figure either, and the district of the fairground does not choose that period.

The statute does not put the novelty period here

Law No. 6769, the Industrial Property Code carries the frame of the industrial right. The effect of a disclosure at a fair on novelty is in the neighbouring text. This body does not repeat that period, and it does not write a number of days. The stand record does not stand in for the novelty question, and the period in the neighbouring text is not carried here as a figure either. If the set of documents is incomplete, it is not announced who the goods on the stand belong to. A badge does not establish the company's trade name either. An invoice is not stuck in place of the stand number. The date of the invoice does not stand in for the day of the fair either, and a badge is not put in place of the list of participants.

Conclusion

In a fair file, what is looked at is the stand number, the catalogue, and the date. The novelty period is not written in place of this record. The tenant is read from the fair contract. A badge is not a document of the tenant, and goods that have dispersed do not erase the earlier record. A catalogue page does not, on its own, close the gap of a photograph without a number either. The frame sits on the intellectual property law page. If there is no photograph and no catalogue, it is not said at which stand the copy was seen. The name of the hall does not close that gap either. A badge does not establish the tenant's trade name, and an invoice does not stand in for the stand number either.

Frequently asked questions

Is a photograph of the stand evidence?

The record is stronger if the stand number, the name of the fair, and the date are on the photograph. If a catalogue page shows the same product, it is placed beside it. A photograph is not, on its own, a finding of infringement.

We disclosed our own design at the fair. Does the period run out?

That question is in a separate text. Here, goods on someone else's stand that resemble your product are read. The two events can stand side by side even at the same fair.

What happens if the product leaves once the fair ends?

The route of preservation for goods that may disperse is in a separate text. Here, which record is kept while the goods are on the stand is separated.
