Wyłączenie statku powietrznego spod zajęcia z tytułu roszczeń patentowych jako przykład środka mającego na celu ułatwienie żeglugi międzynarodowej

Abstract

The subject of this article is a discussion on the issue of the so-called exemption from seizure on patent claims, established by Convention on International Civil Aviation signed on 7 December 1944 (also known as Chicago Convention). According to provisions of that Convention each contracting State is obliged to adopt all practicable measures and the issuance of special regulations, which both increase the effectiveness of air transport and at the same time guarantee safety of international civil aviation. In the article, there are presented issues concerning the exemption from seizure or detention of an aircraft on any patent claims, which are specified in International and Polish Aviation Law. The analysis carried out in this article take into consideration the role of the International Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property signed in Paris on 20 March 1883 (also known as Paris Convention).
