L’Oréal’s copyright on perfumes
officially recognized Cosmetics: The Court of Appeal in Paris ruled in favour of a cosmetic
consortium that had taken action against a counterfeiter on the
grounds of intellectual property. A first occurrence in France,
which can potentially become a reference for future
jurisprudences.
L’Oréal vs Bellure NV - Motion to Appeal to the Supreme Tribunal On June 13th, 2006, in the case L’Oréal vs Bellure NV, the “Cour de Cassation”, France’s
supreme tribunal, reversed a judgment by the Paris Court of Appeal ganting copyright on
perfumes as if these were an original work of art (or literature), i.e. a work of the mind.
Intellectual Property News Ground breaking decision rendered - Jurisprudence in favor of an unpublished literary and artistic work
used against a design subsequently registered at the INPI by a third party.
Two hundred years of deception - Protection = illusion Contrarily to popular belief, systems of patent and design patents (industrial designs) were originally intended to disclose and divulge technology; this process provides specialists of technological vigil (corporate intelligence gathering) with an ever-emptying and replenishing data bank that is somewhat difficult to handle but made easier through the interventions of a specialist (i.e. a patent agent).
The versatility of
literary and artistic property Invention being originally the result of a mental process, since the act of thinking always precedes that of producing, it ensues that every inventor, just like the writer of an original work, has the right to be considered as an author (i.e. one who originates), a seemingly obvious fact that has been kept secret for over two hundred years.

The transcendent unity of art “The unity of art, function and utility is similar to the organic constitution of a body.”
Design Patents and Industrial Designs:
traps for the inventor This text is of paramount importance. Indeed, it allows us to identify linguistic deviations, insidiously introduced within the formulation of legal texts, and which emphasize arbitrary principles at the expense of ethics. For over two centuries, due to their inherent vagueness and incoherence, such legal texts on all continents have led to the most contradictory rulings.
