  • Telstra Corporation Limited (‘Telstra’) Welcomes the Opportunity to Make a Submission to the USPTO on Prior User Rights
    Introduction Telstra Corporation Limited (‘Telstra’) welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the USPTO on prior user rights. As Australia’s leading telecommunications and information services company, Telstra provides customers with a truly integrated experience across fixed line, mobiles, broadband, information, transaction, search and pay TV. Telstra BigPond is Australia’s leading Internet Service Provider offering retail internet access nationally, along with a range of online and mobile content and value added services One of our major strengths in providing integrated telecommunications services is our vast geographical coverage through both our fixed and mobile network infrastructure. This network and systems infrastructure underpins the carriage and termination of the majority of Australia's domestic and international voice and data telephony traffic. Telstra has an extensive intellectual property portfolio, including trade mark and patent rights in Australian and overseas. Telstra is also a licensor and a licensee of intellectual property, including a licensee of online and digital content. The prior user exemptions to infringement under Australian and other countries’ (such as Japanese, EU and Canadian) law are important mechanisms that allow companies or individuals to continue activities legitimately undertaken prior to the grant of a third party patent. It’s Telstra’s submission that harmonisation of US laws to recognise and adopt similar prior user provisions would be welcomed to similarly provide certainty for commercial practices and investment. Our response below focuses on those aspects of the study into prior user rights that are of particular interest or concern to Telstra. 1a. Please share your experiences relating to the use of prior user rights in foreign jurisdictions including, but not limited to, members of the European Union and Japan, Canada, and Australia.
