USPTO Hosts Chinese Lawmakers

Posted by J Matthew Buchanan at October 21, 2005 03:04 PM

 Lawmakers from China pose with Jon Dudas (top row, center) and Jennifer Ness of USPTO's Office of International Relations (middle row, right) during their visit to the USPTOUSPTO Hosts Chinese Lawmakers

This week, the United States Patent and Trademark Office hosted a conference for senior-level copyright lawmakers from China on “Internet Copyright Issues in China and the United States: Implementing the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty.”


The Chinese lawmakers are drafting legislation that will implement two World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) Internet treaties in China — the WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty. In the Joint Committee on Commerce and Trade meetings this summer, China committed to submitting the legislative and regulatory package to join the WIPO treaties by 2006.


On Tuesday, Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property Jon Dudas met with the group, noting that China has the second-largest number of Internet users in the world. “Without adequate and effective copyright protection in China for Chinese intellectual property, a Chinese electronic marketplace for copyrighted works cannot develop,” Mr. Dudas said.


The WIPO Copyright Treaty and the WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty, concluded in 1996, are critical parts of the basic legal framework for electronic commerce. The treaties update international copyright standards for the digital realm, clarifying that the traditional rights of copyright apply in cyberspace. The United States implemented these important WIPO Internet treaties through passage of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in 1998.

NOTICE OF MARKS PUBLISHED BY MISTAKE

Posted by J Matthew Buchanan at October 5, 2005 04:21 PM

NOTICE OF MARKS PUBLISHED BY MISTAKE

The October 4, 2005 Official Gazette includes 143 trademark applications that were published for opposition by mistake. Each of these applications had been published for opposition previously; the statement of use had been accepted; and the application had been allowed for registration pursuant to §1(d) of the Trademark Act. Due to a processing error, the applications were assigned a new publication date instead of a registration date.

These applications have been withdrawn from publication. Regarding these cases, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) will not accept oppositions or requests for extension of time to file an opposition that are based on the October 4, 2005 publication date. Anyone considering filing an opposition to, or request for extension of time to oppose, any application that published in the October 4, 2005 Official Gazette, should first review the prosecution history of the application in the Trademark Application and Registration Retrieval (TARR) system on the USPTO website. If the prosecution history indicates “second publication in error,” the TTAB will not accept an opposition or a request for extension of time to file an opposition based on the October 4, 2005 publication date. Note that although some applications may indicate that the application has been “withdrawn” from publication, only those applications that also indicate “second publication in error” are not subject to opposition. For any questions concerning this matter please contact Bonita Royall at 571-272-4382 or bonita.royall@uspto.gov.

USPTO Videos Now Available Online

Posted by J Matthew Buchanan at October 3, 2005 03:14 PM

 Geographical Indications link goods or services originating in a particular geographic area with particular characteristics

Videos about current issues and events at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) are now available on this website. There are currently three videos posted. Topics covered include highlights of the USPTO’s annual independent inventors conference and a video targeted at young people to educate them on the consequences of copying and downloading music and other entertainment from unauthorized sources.


The featured video this month deals with the vital issues of protecting geographical indications. It explains the United States government’s position regarding a type of intellectual property that indicates the origin of goods or services in a particular geographic area with particular characteristics. Some examples are Parma Ham, Roquefort Cheese, Florida Oranges and Idaho Potatoes.


Geographical indications (GIs) are an important topic because of the ongoing debate at the World Trade Organization (WTO) regarding whether the international rules for the protection of GIs at the national level are sufficient or should be rewritten to accommodate some WTO Members’ trading goals. There are some WTO Members demanding a rewrite of the international rules in order to accomplish worldwide automatic protection for their geographical indications. Such a system would extinguish many uses of generic terms like parmesan, feta, sherry, or champagne in the United States and other WTO Members and would negatively impact the existing trademark uses of these types of terms, even to the point of potentially eliminating the registration of any geographic term as part of a trademark. Such proposals would obviously have a significant and decidedly negative impact on the U.S. trademark system and on U.S. producers and exporters. This video was designed by the USPTO and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to outline the U.S. protection system for GIs and to address some concerns about changing the international rules for GIs.
