Event Synopsis:
Over the years, companies worldwide often overlooked the role design patents perform in preventing potential infringements across the globe. Although, with limited scope of protection, companies who invest in design patents are likely to manage and maximize their value well and therefore, establish a competitive advantage and growth.
The U.S recent adoption of the Hague System for the International Registration of Industrial Designs has paved way for companies to obtain protection for their design patents in multiple jurisdictions. Under the Hague Agreement, applicants are allowed to file a single, standardized international design application in over 64 member states and intergovernmental organizations. In addition, applicants can also avoid other procedural requirements as well as fees associated with filing separate applications through local counsel. While deemed easier and cost-effective, it is still crucial for companies to exercise careful planning and consideration before taking advantage of this new design protection regime.
In this two-hour live Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders will help you understand the important aspects of this significant topic. The panel will provide an in-depth discussion of the recent Developments in U.S. and E.U. Design Patent Protection. Speakers will also offer best practices in developing and implementing an effective patent protection policy and ensure compliance with applicable laws.
Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:
- Recent Updates in US and EU Design Patent Protection
- The Hague System – An Overview
- Key Benefits and Risks
- Options and Strategies for International Design Protection
- Possible Legal Challenges
- Best Compliance and Enforcement Practices
