Проект за промени в Закона за промишления дизайн в България ( Draft amendments to the Law on the design in Bulgaria) | INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY PLANET
Changes offered by this bill can be grouped into three main areas: changes affecting general in Design Law (chapter “First”), changes on the substantive rules governing the registration of designs (Chapter II) – disposition with the right design and the cancellation of registration and changes to production, which develops in the Patent Office for an application for registration of industrial designs (Chapter Three). Regarding the changes made in the chapter “First, it should be noted that details are out art.8 data contained in the State Register of industrial designs kept and maintained in the Patent Office. 9 expressly provides that the said register is in the form of hard copy and electronic database operated by the Information System and published on the official website of the Patent Office. The amendments proposed in Chapter II of the ITA are primarily editorial and in order to further clarify certain criteria. Changes related to production, which is developing expertise in the Patent Office an application for registration of a design is reduced to change the system of registration of design – from the substantive examination carried out by the Patent Office on the grounds set out in 11 of the Act shall be transferred to a registration system. These changes meet the needs of society and the requirement to remove barriers to free movement of goods and the freedom to provide services enable enterprises to adapt their production and distribution of goods and services not only in our country, but throughout the Community. Changes are necessary also in order to create an identical arrangement to that introduced in Regulation № 6 / 2001 on Community designs. Changes are dictated by the fact that under the present system of examination as to substance is not made full assessment of whether the design meets the requirements of 11 for novelty and originality, but only a limited review and take account designs operating in the territory of Bulgaria. Not carry out the examination and the criteria “Originality”. Therefore, although the examination service to check the novelty of the design practice of this inspection is organic and does not lead to the aimed effect – to ensure stability of the legal protection, since the novelty of a design may be vitiated by not only the registration of identical of its design, but also by communication, anywhere in the world in any way. This is information that experts in the Patent Office of Bulgaria, as well as agencies in the Member States of the European Union do not have, but that can be found by competitors of the applicant because they are stakeholders. Because of that, most countries and the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market in Alicante, Spain, use the registration system that comes with this bill. New system for registration of a design is limited to the following: Examination of application include verification of whether the application meets the requirements of formal regularity and that satisfies the criteria laid down in Articles 3 and 11, paragraph 2, item 1 of the Act namely: whether the requested object is a design under the law and if not contrary to public order and morality. If the design application meets the above conditions, a decision on registration and design is published in the Official Gazette of the office. Persons referred to in Art.29, have the right to request cancellation of the registration of the design of the grounds provided for in this provision during the period of validity of registration, and even after its termination. Of PZR shows that the new regime will take effect 9 months after the promulgation of the law in the State Gazette, which is available in order to conduct awareness campaigns to prepare stakeholders, which are addressed to the law and should adapt its business environment work in the new system of registration, which requires strict scrutiny of a policy of competing entities and which mode is adopted in many Member States of the European Union. Other changes which are proposed by the bill are in terms of deadlines for certain actions by the applicant of a design – to correct deficiencies in the application (Art.36, para 3) for a preliminary response to the refusal (Art.37 , 3) and payment of fees (Art.36, Art.37 and 2, al.5). Terms were truncated due to the fact that these are actions that are not characterized by complexity and do not require an extended period of time to be implemented and also to accelerate the production of registration. Along with that, it is considered that the application he is interested to receive the protection more quickly and longer periods of time in which fees are not paid, would lead to legal uncertainty whether there is a request or not, because if fees are not paid, the application is considered withdrawn. Novelty in the law is the possibility, if the application fee and examination and registration fees are paid in the given 1-month period, they would be paid double the amount to 1 months after the expiry of the given period. This option is adoption of the Regulation for the application of Regulation № 6 / 2001. She has also educational impact and reducing the administrative work on requests for reimbursement of time. Deserves attention to in Art.48 – chl.48v otgalagane opportunity for publication of the design already registered to the applicant to examine the market and your competition and keep the design for a certain period of time in the secret of this competition. Another change to be noted is the change of the period under Art.45, al.6. Extension of the deadline for a decision on requests for cancellation of registration pormishlen design is determined by the complexity of production, that opinion on the request shall be prepared by staff of 5 persons experts state that the majority of cases are judged in large volume and complexity, evidence that is often required by the parties to seek additional evidence and opinions. Changes are provided in Chapter Four, which resulted from the accession of Bulgaria to the Geneva Act of the Hague Agreement concerning the international registration of industrial designs, which operate in the territory of our country from October 7, 2008 Finally, it should be noted that the adoption of the Law amending the ITA to meet the expectations of users of the system by establishing a registration procedure that meets the established market in the country relations and will achieve full compliance of the system to provide protection designs on the territory of Bulgaria with that provided for in Regulation № 6 / 2001 on Community design and a significant part of the Member States of the European Union.
