What is a patent?
A patent is an exclusive right
granted for an invention, which is
a product or a process that
provides a new way of doing
something, or offers a new
technical solution to a problem.
Patent Cooperation Treaty ("PCT")
(1970)
* patent protection for an invention simultaneously in each of a large
number of countries by filing an "international" patent application.
* filed by anyone who is a national or resident of a contracting State.
* filed with the national patent office or with the International Bureau
of WIPO in Geneva
* 122 Contracting Countries
TRADEMARK™
A trademark is a distinctive sign which identifies
certain goods or services as those produced or provided by a
specific person or enterprise.
Madrid System for the International
Registration of Marks
* governed by two treaties:
- the Madrid Agreement Concerning the International
Registration of Marks, and
- Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement.
* System is administered by the International Bureau of the World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)
* 73 Contracting States
INDUSTRIAL DESIGN
An industrial design is the ornamental or
aesthetic aspect of an article. The design may consist
of three-dimensional features, such as the shape or
surface of an article, or of two-dimensional features,
such as patterns, lines or color.
An industrial design is primarily of an aesthetic nature,
and does not protect any technical features of the
article to which it is applied.
The Hague Agreement Concerning the
International Deposit of Industrial
Designs
* signed on November 6, 1925, and since revised in London on June 2,
1934 (1934 Act) and at The Hague on November 28, 1960 (1960 Act)
* supplemented in respect of certain provisions on fees by an
Additional Act signed in Monaco on November 18, 1961, and in respect
of the administrative clauses by a Complementary Act signed in
Stockholm on July 14, 1967 (1967 Act)
* 34 States are at present party to the Hague Agreement:
GEOGRAPHICAL INDICATIONS
A sign used on goods that have a specific geographical origin and
possess qualities or a reputation that are due to that place of origin.
Agricultural products typically have qualities that derive from their place
of production and are influenced by specific local factors, such as climate
and soil.
Example: "Tuscany" for olive oil produced in a specific area of Italy or
"Roquefort" for cheese produced in France
* WIPO is in charge of the administration of a number of international
agreements which deal partly or entirely with the protection of
geographical indications
* E.g. - the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial
Property
- the Lisbon Agreement for the Protection of
Appellations of Origin and Their International
Registration
* Standing Committee on the Law of Trademarks, Industrial Designs
and Geographical Indications explores new ways of enhancing the
international protection of geographical indications.
- protected information which is not generally known among, or readily
accessible to, persons that normally deal with the kind of information in
question,
- has commercial value because it is secret,
- and has been subject to reasonable steps to keep it secret by the
person lawfully in control of the information.
