  • Inquiry Into Plain Tobacco Packaging
    REPORT ON THE CONSISTENCY OF A PROPOSED PLAIN PACKAGING REQUIREMENT WITH AUSTRALIA’S INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS Professor Gabriël A Moens and Adjunct Professor John Trone* Introduction This Report considers the consistency of a plain packaging requirement with Australia’s treaty obligations. Senator Fielding has introduced a private member’s Bill seeking to require that tobacco products have plain packaging. In his Second Reading Speech Senator Fielding summarized the effect of his Bill: “tobacco companies will be banned from advertising their logos or trademarks on their products. Instead, all cigarette and other tobacco packets will have plain labelling, with the only predominant item to feature on the packets to now be the warning labels.”1 This Report has been written at the request of Philip Morris Ltd (PML), through Allens Arthur Robinson. Philip Morris International (PMI) is the ultimate holding company of PML. The headquarters of PMI is in the United States and its operations centre is in Switzerland.2 PML owns or is the licence holder of numerous trademarks relating to tobacco products.3 PMI is the owner of some of the trade marks used by PML in Australia. Trademarks are frequently referred to as the most important assets of tobacco companies. The introduction of plain packaging would render useless the trademarks held by PML. Executive Summary A plain packaging requirement would be inconsistent with Art 20 of the Agreement on Trade-related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) since it encumbers the use of trade marks in trade with unjustifiable special requirements. It would not fall within the limited exceptions to trademark rights permitted under Art 17 of TRIPS.
