- (1888PressRelease) March 09, 2018 - The Knowledge Group/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series, the leading producer of regulatory focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: The Hague Agreement and Design Filings: Recent Trends and Developments in 2018. This event is scheduled on March 20, 2018 at 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm (ET).
Event Synopsis:
The Hague Agreement is an international registration system that allows patent owners to obtain protection for up to 100 industrial designs in designated member countries and intergovernmental organizations, which are known as “Contracting Parties.” Single international applications in a single language are filed either through the office of applicant’s contracting party or with the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The growing figure of international design patent filings via the Agreement and the increasing number of signatory countries imply the treaty's effectiveness in protecting design patents.
However, although the system successfully provides new cost-effective means and opportunities to protect designs, it is not without its challenges. Thus, it is with great importance that patent counsel must understand the International Design Application (IDAs) process and keep themselves abreast of the latest developments surrounding this significant topic.
In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an overview of the latest trends and critical issues surrounding the Hague Agreement and Design Filings. Speakers will also offer best practices in maximizing the benefits of the design protection system and in mitigating potential risks and pitfalls.
Key topics include:
• The Hague Agreement - An Overview
• Recent Hague Application Rejections
• Potential Future Hague Member Countries
• Risks and Pitfalls
• Design Patent Filing Considerations
• Trends and Developments
• Best Practices and Strategies
