OTHER ISSUES3 Sample Clauses

OTHER ISSUES3. Burden of proof (TRIPS Art. 30): Since Art. 30 is an exception to the obligations under the TRIPS Agreement, the burden was on the respondent (i.e. Canada) to demonstrate that the patent provisions at issue were justified under that provision.

OTHER ISSUES3. Mandatory vs discretionary legislature: Having referred to the principle that “only legislation that mandates a violation of GATT/WTO obligations can be found as such to be inconsistent with those obligations” as the “classical test”, the Panel distinguished this case (pertaining to ASCM) from the Section 301 dispute (pertaining to DSU Art. 23.2(a)) in which the panel eventually found that discretionary legislation may violate certain WTO obligations, and decided to apply the classical test to this dispute. The Panel also decided to address first the consistency of the measures with the substantive WTO rules, and then to examine the mandatory or discretionary character of the measures.
OTHER ISSUES3. Burden of proof (Enabling Clause): The Appellate Body noted that, as a general rule, the burden of proof for an “exception” falls on the respondent. Given “the vital role played by the Enabling Clause in the WTO system as means of stimulating economic growth and development”, however, when a measure taken pursuant to the Enabling Clause is challenged, a complaining party must allege more than mere inconsistency with Art. I:1 and must identify specific provisions of the Enabling Clause with which the scheme is allegedly inconsistent so as to define the parameters within which the responding party must make its defence under the requirements of the Enabling Clause. The Appellate Body found that India in this case sufficiently raised para. 2(a) of the Enabling Clause in making its claim of inconsistency with GATT Art. I:1.
OTHER ISSUES3. Request to accelerate the proceedings (DSU Art. 4.9): Although the Panel was unable to accelerate the proceedings as requested by the United States, pursuant to DSU Art. 4.9 (basis for the request being that current patent holders subject to the Canadian measure were suffering irreparable harm), the Panel, with Canada's consent, limited its schedule to the minimum periods suggested in DSU Appendix 3.
