No mean feat. <br /><br />The cost estimate to achieve something robust, sustainable, fast and easy, mobile & desk top compatible - £1.5 to £2 million plus <br /><br />Wish me luck !<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /> Maxine Hornhttp://www.creativebarcode.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-91957374368271873332015-04-30T15:59:57.673+01:002015-04-30T15:59:57.673+01:00Given the huge amount of time and expense involved...Given the huge amount of time and expense involved in recording the transfer of large portfolios, it would certainly be welcome to come up with a standardized set of requirements and a central registry. However, it would take a lot of thought to create a registry that did not simply add a layer on top of local filing requirements meaning that a third party looking for encumbrances on title to IP would now have a further place it was required to search (a topic of sensitivity to US lawyers who wrestle with filings of mortgages on IP on either or both of the State or Federal level). Assignments and their recordal have their complexities including (i) is the original assignment effective to transfer title under local law? (ii) what rights are actually transferred? (iii) what is the effect of recordal or failure to record on the parties to the assignment and on third parties? Could the treaty simply say that issues (i) and (ii) were decided by the law of the country of execution (so what would be filed is a "global assignment" under the law of the country of execution) and (iii) by the country of the IP right in question? And in countries with multiple filing offices, the international filing would be deemed equivalent to filing in the local patent office only?<br /><br />Stephen Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09132491042265575095noreply@blogger.com
