What is the Brocade understanding of “put on the market”?
Consistent with the view of the European Commission, who have published non-binding guidance (see below), Brocade understands that the phrase “put on the market” or “placed on the market” means the initial action of making a specific product available for the first time on the [European] community market, with a view to distribution or use in the community. This does not refer to the launch of a new product or product line.
