SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

The draft Convention would create

jurisdictional rules governing

international lawsuits and provide for

recognition and enforcement of

judgments by the courts of Member

States. Member States would be

required to recognize and enforce

judgments covered by the Convention if

the jurisdiction in the court rendering

the judgment is founded on one of the

bases of jurisdiction required by the

Convention.

Discussions on the draft Convention

began in 1992, and various meetings

have been held since then. The most

recent meetings include an informal

meeting on intellectual property aspects

held in Geneva on February 1, 2001; a

public roundtable sponsored by the

Federal Trade Commission on dispute

resolution for online business-toconsumer contracts held in Washington,

DC on February 6, 2001; and a week

long series of informal meetings (with

an emphasis on electronic commerce

and intellectual property) held in

Ottawa the week of February 26, 2001.

The Hague Conference posts various

documents from these meetings, such as

summaries of discussions, notes and

reports, on its website (www.hcch.net).

The current text of the draft

Convention was provisionally adopted

by the Special Commission on June 18,

1999, and then was revised at a meeting

held at The Hague from October 25–30,

1999. The current text of the draft

Convention is available on The Hague

Conference website (www.hcch.net).

The first part of a Diplomatic

Conference is planned for June 2001,

and the second part will be held in

2002.

On October 17, 2000, the Patent and

Trademark Office (PTO) published a

Federal Register Notice requesting

comments on the draft Convention. PTO

received 27 comments. Specifically PTO

was interested in assessing support for

or opposition to the U.S. effort to

negotiate the draft Convention as it

relates to intellectual property. The

public was asked for their views

generally on the draft Convention and to

comment on 16 questions that were

presented in the Notice.

The purpose of the Copyright Office

roundtable will be to bring together

various parties, such as representatives

from the copyright industries,

representatives of users of copyrighted

works, such as the American Library

Association, consumer organizations

and representatives from industries

engaged in electronic commerce who

are interested in the draft Convention.

The participants should be prepared to

identify and discuss more fully the

issues and problems associated with the

draft Convention, and to propose

solutions that will aid the U.S.

delegation to the Hague Conference as it

participates in upcoming meetings to

further the treaty negotiations.

Specific issues under discussion at

the roundtable may include (but are not

limited to):

• Does the draft Convention affect in

any way the substantive law that applies

to an activity of any party with respect

to intellectual property?

• If a basis for jurisdiction is

determined by where the injury occurs,

in the context of electronic commerce,

will this subject a seller to jurisdiction

in an unforeseen country? Will there be

any difference if the seller is an

individual or a company?

• With respect to copyright liability

issues, how will ISP’s be implicated

under the draft Convention?

• What effect could this Convention

have on the enforcement of intellectual

property rights with respect to the

Internet?

• Under the draft Convention, will

right holders be able to sue U.S.

residents in foreign countries for

intellectual property infringement for

activities which are lawful in the United

States? Will libraries, schools,

businesses and individual consumers of

information resources be required to

defend themselves in courts far removed

from their normal residence?

• In what circumstances will a U.S.

court have to enforce a judgment of a

foreign country’s court against the U.S.

user of intellectual property?

• What effect will the proposed

Convention have on the ability to ensure

consistent and predictable

interpretation of licensing terms through

choice of forum provisions in license

agreements?

• What will be the practical impact of

treaty provisions concerning the

exercise of jurisdiction premised solely

on a defendant’s presence in the forum?

• How will the draft Convention

affect traditional contractual freedom for

parties to enter into agreements that

typically designate the choice of

jurisdiction and law?

• Will the draft Convention provide a

predictable legal regime that will

facilitate electronic commerce or

impede electronic commerce? Will the

draft Convention disrupt the

predictability of conducting global

business and electronic commerce?
