UPCA Sample Clauses

UPCA. A reversal of the burden of proof applies in both of the two possible scenarios envisaged by Article 34 of the TRIPS Agreement. However, unlike the TRIPS Agreement, the contracting states cannot choose to reverse the burden of proof in only one of the two scenarios. As an aside, it is evident that Article 55 UPCA therefore strengthens the position of proprietors of process claims vis-à-vis the TRIPS Agreement in those contracting states that chose to reverse the burden of proof in only one of the two scenarios (for example, Germany and the UK). The position will not be affected in those contracting states that reversed the burden of proof in both scenarios under the TRIPS Agreement (for example, France and Italy).
