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. It reads:"Please note that information notice N° 13/2007 concerning the Electronic Filing of International Applications is now available on the WIPO website at: http://www.wipo.int/hague/en/notices/index.jsp".Right: no-one told Mr Pawsworthy that the electronic filing was for designs, not claws ...
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.
2. Pursuant to Section 204(a)(i) of the Administrative Instructions ..., the International Bureau has published the particulars applicable to this electronic filing interface. These are attached to the present notice for users’ convenience. In addition to referring to these particulars, users are invited to consult document DM/1.INF (“Explanatory Notes on the Official Application form DM/1) when filling in an international application through the electronic filing interface.

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.
