Abstract

Gelişen teknoloji ile birlikte bugün çok farklı şeyler fi kri mülkiyet hukukunun konusu haline gelmiştir. Bunun sonucu olarak da mallar bütün olarak ya da parçaları dolayısıyla fi kri mülkiyet hakkı kapsamında korunmaya başlamıştır. Tüm bu gelişmeler yaşanırken, artan ticari faaliyetler ile birlikte, satılan mallar üzerinde satım sözleşmesine taraf olmayan üçüncü kişilerin, söz konusu mallar üzerinde fi kri mülkiyet hakları olduğunu ya da bu malların var olan fi kri mülkiyet haklarını ihlal ettiği iddiasında bulunması da sıkça rastlanan durumlar haline gelmiştir. Bu durum da fi kri mülkiyet haklarının sadece, fi kri mülkiyet hukuku açısından değil, satım hukuku açısından da değerlendirilmesi gerekliliği ortaya çıkmaktadır. Üçüncü kişilerin mal üzerinde ileri sürdüğü fi kri mülkiyet hakları ve bu haklarının ihlali iddiaları kapsamında, alıcının satıcıya karşı ileri sürebileceği haklar ve kapsamı İngiliz Mal Satım Kanunu (The Sale of Goods Act 1979) ışığında değerlendirilmiştir.

Abstract

As a result of the developments in technology, the various types of things become the subject of intellectual property law. Therefore, considerable number of goods subjected to intellectual property rights (IPRs) as a whole or partially. As a consequence of these developments and increase in commercial activity, it is highly likely that a third party who is not a party to the sales contract claimed either their IPRs over the goods in question or infringement of these rights. Hence, it is necessary to examine IPRs not only based on intellectual property law but also sales law. The buyer’s rights against the seller and its scope when a third party raised IPRs and infringement claims over the goods in question is examined under the Sale of Goods Act 1979.
