1. Intellectual Property Protection Policy and Alleged Infringement

1.1 This document outlines the policy (the "Policy") for notification of alleged infringement of intellectual property rights ("IPR") by visitors and users ("Users") of Lydd's websites regarding material available on Lydd's websites or servers.

1.2 Lydd is not an arbitrator or judge. In enforcing any action initiated by the User with respect to Intellectual Property Rights, Lydd does not intend to make any decision as to the validity and existence of such Intellectual Property Rights.

2. Our Treatment of Alleged Infringement

2.1 The owner of the intellectual property rights or his/her agent(“Complainant”) may (and at the request of Lydd) notify Lydd of the alleged infringement by completing and signing a Notice of Intellectual Property Rights Complaint in the form shown in Attachment 1.

2.2 Lydd reserves the right to amend the Procedure from time to time.

2.3 Lydd reserves the right to refrain from taking any further action with respect to the alleged infringement if the Complainant fails to submit a Notice of IPR Complaint as set forth in Attachment 1, or if the Notice of Complaint is insufficient or incomplete, and/or if the Relevant Information (as defined in Article 3.1 below) is not provided as required or is insufficient or incomplete.

3. Relevant information

3.1 The Complainant shall provide Lydd with all necessary documents and other relevant information relating to the alleged infringement;

3.1.1 Proof of Complainant's ownership of the intellectual property rights relied upon and allegedly infringed.

In the case of copyrights, this shall include, where applicable: a certificate of registration, together with proof of originality, first publication and the Complainant's ownership of the copyright in question.

In the case of trademark rights, this will include, where applicable, certificates of trademark registration and other relevant documents relating to trademark rights issued by the relevant competent authority.

In the case of "Patent Rights", this shall include, where applicable, certificates of grant of the relevant "Patent Rights" (including all relevant claims, specifications and drawings) and other relevant reports issued by the relevant authorities in the relevant territory (as defined in Article 4 below).

In the case of Registered Design Rights, this will include, where applicable: a Design Registration Certificate issued by the relevant authority in the relevant territory (as defined in Article 4 below) in respect of the Registered Design Rights.

Any other evidence that Lydd may require depends on the specific facts and circumstances of the case. For the avoidance of doubt, the Global Sources shall have sole and absolute discretion to determine what constitutes appropriate evidence of the Complainant's ownership of the relevant IPR.

3.1.4 Other relevant documents and information as may be requested by Lydd.

3.2 The notice of IPR Complaint and all supporting documentation may be disclosed to the Respondent;

3.3 Lydd reserves the right to disclose any information contained in the IPR Notice of Complaint, or any related information or other supporting documents and information provided, where Lydd believes that disclosure is required by any law or regulation, or for the purpose of cooperating with regulatory or law enforcement authorities, or for the protection or enforcement of Lydd's rights and/or interests.

4. Disclaimer and Indemnification

4.1 Lydd has no right or obligation to verify the identity of each Complainant who submits a Notice of Intellectual Property Complaint, the subject matter of the complaint, or the source of the allegedly infringing material.
