Jazz Photo Corp. v. UnitedStates International Trade Commission , Case citation 264 F. 3d 1094 UnitedStates Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit Fed. Cir. 2001 , was a case in which the UnitedStates Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit clarified the law of repair and reconstruction permitting the owner of a patent ed item to fix the item when it breaks, but not to essentially build a new item from the parts of an old one , holding that it was not a patent infringement for one party to restore another party s patented one use camera to be used a second time. Facts A company called Polytech Enterprise Limited acquired used disposable camera s which had been manufactured by Fujifilm Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd. and sold by Fuji to consumers. Fuji owned several patent s on the technology used in the cameras. Polytech refurbished the cameras through a process which included fitting the camera with new film, and in some instances with new flash batteries, repairing the camera case to exclude light following the film reloading operation, repackaging, and relabeling under the trademark of Jazz Photo Corp. The cameras were brought to China to be refurbished, and Jazz Photo then Reimportation reimported them into the UnitedStates for sale. The UnitedStates Customs Service intercepted two shipments of these cameras, and sought to prevent their entry into the UnitedStates on the grounds that they infringed Fuji s patents. Jazz Photo objected, asserting that the patents were not infringed because, rather than build new cameras incorporating the proprietary technology, Jazz Photo had simply purchased Fuji s own cameras and repaired them. Opinion The Federal Circuit, in an opinion written by Judge Pauline Newman , concluded that Jazz Photo was correct. The Court clarified the line ...

Facts The UK Department of Trade and Industry now the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills stated in guideline to employers on the Working Time Regulations 1998 that Employers must make sure that workers can take their rest, but are not required to make sure that they do take their rest. Also, Statutory Instrument 1999 3372 had amended regulation 20 to exempt workers whose work was but partly unmeasured, so working time and night work control applied only to unmeasured or predetermined time. Judgment The European Court of Justice held that the UK government s guidance advocated a breach of the Directive, article 4. There is a duty to guarantee that the right to rest is in fact observed. It also declared the 1999 amendment to be contrary to art 17, though the UK government had already backtracked with SI 2006 99 regulation 2.
