Olton Policy on Intellectual Property Rights
This policy statement sets out the manner in which Olton Limited and its associated companies (“Olton”) deals with its intellectual property rights (“IPR”), including how it obtains, enforces and otherwise deals with IPR.
As a highly innovative technology company, Olton invests large amounts of engineering and financial resources into developing its technology and believes strongly it is of utmost importance to aggressively procure, exploit and, where necessary, enforce its IPR.
Olton has significant market and technological advantages that are protected by its IPR and the company is committed to preserving and enhancing its competitive position through its strategic IPR portfolio management, including taking offensive and/or defensive legal action, as necessary. This policy is indicative only and Olton reserves the right to take such actions and/or assert its intellectual property rights as it sees fit without prior notice.
To this end, Olton’s IPR matters are handled by international law firm, McDermott Will & Emery, rated best global IP Department in an international law firm by Intellectual Property Today in 2005. Information on Olton’s IP rights is available from Dr. Justin Hill, McDermott Will, and Emery, 7 Bishopsgate, London EC2N 3AR, United Kingdom.
IP rights are critical to our technology offering
Olton deals with all types of intellectual property. Significantly, Olton controls a growing number of international patent rights.
Olton is also the owner of further IPR that protect its software, trading style, technologies and other valuable business assets including but not limited to trade mark rights, rights in passing off and unfair competition, trade secrets, database rights, design rights and copyrights.
Enforcement
Unauthorized use of Olton’s IPR damages not only Olton and its partners but the industry as a whole. The company does not tolerate unauthorized infringements of its IPR and will pursue infringers to obtain resolution and if necessary formal remedies and relief to the fullest extent possible, including injunctions, damages (and exemplary or enhanced damages if applicable) or an account of the infringers profits, and enforcement costs. Olton continually monitors and reviews potentially infringing activities and has financial provision and management approval for taking legal action internationally, without notice if necessary.
Licensing
Under certain circumstances, Olton may be willing to enter into licensing arrangements to allow third parties to use Olton’s IPR. Olton will only grant licences in writing and each licence will be subject to formally agreed terms and conditions. However, this statement is in no way a waiver of any right or an offer of a licence and each instance will be treated on its own merits. Please contact Paul Manister, if you are interested in using or obtaining a licence to any Olton IPR.
Third Party Rights
In certain circumstances, Olton’s processes may involve the use of third party IPR, such as copyright in images applied to cards. It is Olton’s policy to respect third party IPR and not knowingly to infringe any such IPR. We believe we have taken appropriate steps to minimise the risk of infringing third party IPR. If a third party is aware of any of their IPR being used in an unauthorized manner in connection with Olton’s business, they are requested to contact Paul Manister, who will investigate the situation and reserves the right unilaterally to suspend relevant activities.
