The IPKat thanks his friend and fellow MARQUES activist David Stone (Howrey) for sending him a bit of welcome news for all who believe in international protection for industrial designs and like playing with their computers. WIPO has today issued a notice concerning the Hague System for the International Registration of Industrial Designs.

If you click through, you will find, among other treasures, a file called Electronic Filing of International Applications, dated 27 December. Click it and you discover the following:
"1. ... as of January 14, 2008, it will be possible to file applications governed exclusively or partly by the 1999 Act or the 1960 Act of the Hague Agreement through an electronic filing interface, available on WIPO’s website at http://www.wipo.int/hague/en.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
