In recent years, Brazil has faced challenges in balancing interests in the intellectual property field, especially in the patent sector. Since the beginning of the pandemic, patents have been the focus of controversies and diverging interests, as balancing the legal, social, administrative, economic, and political influences in the Brazilian patent system is arduous.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Regarding the current Brazilian scenario, it is essential to emphasize that the country has been going through several changes, considering the recent government transitions.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">One of these changes directly impacted the <b>Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (BPTO)</b> because said Institute left the former Ministry of Economy and is now part of the Ministry of Development, Industry, Commerce and Services, which consequently generated significant changes in its directors and presidency. The current interim president, Dr Júlio Cesar Moreira (former Patent Director), has worked at BPTO for years and is one of those responsible for the implementations promoting good progress in the patent application prosecution, such as the backlog tackle project. This project defines, for example, the creation of the preliminary official action, which we will discuss below in more detail.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>The backlog tackle project</b></span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The implementation of the collaborative examination, through the backlog tackle project, aims to reduce the number of pending patent applications substantially by using previously conducted prior art search reports from other patent offices, requesting amendments in the claims or technical arguments that defend the patentability of the invention over the cited prior art. This implementation has significantly improved the application prosecution, avoiding excessive official actions, promoting procedural economy, and reducing the time for resolution of the cases.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>A) Preliminary official actions</b></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKNaPO3RmnP6y2UtiV4WbDqueqlQFdcCXPZPDjWKahUVih0YvZdYopAEHN9Tg_huDQXnHQM9DT1ur_WyggSA0wmhyC0WmO2yeCZ5iPz6BYN8cRvhU8DC57v_wZWXD3DKk51Hypu7f2pIFHM9JtmsRQSF1KCRvdZJ3drk8ULOenlUuohKa9w7OaxXZB/s640/files-1614223_640_%20Ag%20Ku.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="640" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKNaPO3RmnP6y2UtiV4WbDqueqlQFdcCXPZPDjWKahUVih0YvZdYopAEHN9Tg_huDQXnHQM9DT1ur_WyggSA0wmhyC0WmO2yeCZ5iPz6BYN8cRvhU8DC57v_wZWXD3DKk51Hypu7f2pIFHM9JtmsRQSF1KCRvdZJ3drk8ULOenlUuohKa9w7OaxXZB/s320/files-1614223_640_%20Ag%20Ku.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>A good strategy for complying with the preliminary official action is to conform the Brazilian application to an already allowed/granted or considered patentable subject matter of the same patent family. However, it is important to remember the need for adequacy of the amendments to the current legal provisions, such as the normative instructions and examination guidelines for different areas, to avoid related technical official actions. Furthermore, it is essential to take into account the national sovereignty over the examination, established by the </span><a href="https://www.wipo.int/wipolex/en/text/288514" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>Paris Convention (CUP) in its Art. 4 bis (1)</b></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">; therefore, there are no guarantees that the Brazilian patent application will be immediately allowed because it was adapted to an application already granted in another country.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">To submit a good argumentation before the BPTO, it is necessary to clearly explain how the technical characteristics of the invention solve the technical problem described. In addition, it is required to indicate the new technical effect achieved and the advantages in relation to the prior art, citing the lines and pages of the specification that contain this information. It is also important to comment on the cited prior art, highlighting the differences between the subject matter of the application and the cited prior art. This information should demonstrate that a person skilled in the art would not have sufficient resources or inspiration to create or achieve the claimed invention based on the cited documents.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>B) Divisional applications and PPH agreements</b></span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">A new practice that is becoming frequent is filing a divisional application at the moment of compliance with the preliminary official action. However, recently in this compliance, there has been a practice of conforming to the granted patent and filing a divisional application with a set of claims identical to the original ones. This practice has resulted in applicants' rejections and abandonments due to the difficulty of overcoming the objections.</span></div></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><span style="font-family: inherit;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">In recent years, another relevant implementation was the creation of several diversified types of fast tracks and the BPTO signing PPH agreements with several countries (for more information about the countries, access the </span><a href="https://www.gov.br/inpi/pt-br/servicos/patentes/pph/acordos-pph-assinados-pelo-inpi" style="font-family: inherit;"><b>link</b></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">).

The project is funded by the British Academy and while this is based on UK, I thought the same is applicable to all jurisdictions as the online world is without frontiers. <div><br /></div><div>The guests and speakers came from different backgrounds, and different industries e.g., IPO, enforcement bodies (police), Law, Criminology, data analytics, marketing, Procter and Gamble, and Alibaba. The symposium took, and the project as such takes, into consideration consultations, advise and research focusing on collaboration for actionable solutions (aka interdisciplinary / cross sectors).<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Xuemei & David </b>opened the floor to provide us with a general view on the rationale of the work they are doing and what they are aiming at. For instance, this was the second symposium / workshops that they have organised, they have done plenty of literature review based on data /statistics looking at a better understanding, that is, to identify what has been done, what is missing, and to question if the available research done up to today, is relevant. This was a moment of reflection for me: could it be that we academics are focusing too much on the research part rather that its purpose? David noted that it is crucial to understand the economic and societal influence of social media and counterfeiting. He emphasised that research can make a difference, but it seems that academia works in silos – again, this was a reflection moment for me. He continued to note that the IPO and his role is to take a ‘helicopter approach’ (looking at the overall context); noting that it is evident that protection isn’t great and there is a need to work with the evidence and establish a counterfeit strategy (Look at the Intellectual Property Counter-Infringement Strategy 2022 to 2027 here). </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Evaluation of the IPO counter-infringement strategy</b> </div><div><span style="color: red;">Marianna Lemus-Boskovitch</span>, and <span style="color: red;">Teodora Lazar</span>, from BOP Consulting presented their research from the consumer perspective; advertising communication and how consumers react and its impact – based on counterfeits. They have done interviews to gather what sources are available and did a data gap analysis showing indicators to build upon. This was done to test what material / information is out there, stating that they did a theory approach.
David closed this part of the session by indicating that ‘monitoring and evaluation’ is a good start! </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Online / Social media IP infringement</b> </div><div><span style="color: red;">David Shepherd</span>, Senior Lecturer in Economic Crime, University of Portsmouth presented ‘The impact of complicit social media influencers on consumption of counterfeit goods in the UK’. After showering us with charts, and statistics, I could be bias to report what I got from his presentation: women are more cautious when buying online than men! David run a survey during 2021 in both sexes and covering 16-60 yrs. old. The survey showed that 31% of men purchased endorsed counterfeits while women 13%. In any case, the majority knew they were buying a counterfeit. What is of worry, which I do agree, is that there are certain product categories, that are dangerous e.g., batteries and beauty product (due to the chemical components). He also acknowledged that there is a percentage of buyers that are ‘hunters of counterfeits’ [was I under a rock that I did not know much about it?]. The survey also revealed that we are susceptibility to trust others e.g., family, friends, and influencers, and their influence varies as it seems to be age related. Another part of the survey showed that the rationale of consumers to purchase counterfeits there was a correlation when ‘price is high, and the quality is not important’. </div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: red;">Ronald Brohm</span>, managing director at REACT, intervened to talk about his experience noting that the ‘online world’ and the ‘trading’ includes apps, social media, stating that legislation is behind. Notices of ‘take down’ to links, and hiding links, seems straightforward but it gets complicated with apps and social media. A burden encountered with, is the definition of what ‘trade’ is. He explained that in China, one need to have a license to trade, and enforcement is less complex as it is easy to identify traders; and while the system is not perfect, this practice shows a good practice.
Tackling global online / social media counterfeiting -technology and implications.</div><div><span style="color: red;">Dennis Collopy</span>, Senior Research Fellow, University of Hertfordshire, spoke about artificial intelligence and IPRs enforcement (IPO commissioned this research in 2021) how to use AI in the matter of copyright, trade marks and trade secrets infringements. He has done a literature review on the matter and conducted a survey by interviewing different individuals, e.g., from the judiciary, NGOs, etc. Looking at data mining it seems that there is a big challenge regarding training data and to use just ‘clean’ data rather than bias, and noticed the lack of transparency (due to the black box) and in general about the quantity and quality of data fed. Data must be updated constantly, needs retraining, to follow GDP compliance, finally, concluding the session, his point noted the need of a ‘revolution on Data Quality’ and that, in his opinion, the AI challenges that are identified exceeded the number of opportunities [I personally believe that we get to excited about AI without reflecting the risks] . </div><div><br /></div><div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQisiHCug2xkGJYLZO2X1hZa6wx00MCGtiE1uW-4mtFJKz8NbMxO0Tngm2V8fDAbPDtkiu3oZ6bHci26sgQlfh5KZoj1SNDpl5oIaGLy0WzAq2GAoJlrN0gtHLpvh3M5czIVWo2_vLQrUIf4sov4hM2jq7t1Pfgth5MVzAdLQ-vytn0NYwpQwOxMiyrw/s4032/TM2.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQisiHCug2xkGJYLZO2X1hZa6wx00MCGtiE1uW-4mtFJKz8NbMxO0Tngm2V8fDAbPDtkiu3oZ6bHci26sgQlfh5KZoj1SNDpl5oIaGLy0WzAq2GAoJlrN0gtHLpvh3M5czIVWo2_vLQrUIf4sov4hM2jq7t1Pfgth5MVzAdLQ-vytn0NYwpQwOxMiyrw/s320/TM2.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">Sharon [left] Andrew [right]</span></td></tr></tbody></table>From the point of view of<span style="color: red;"> Andrew Masterson</span>, a member of the PIPCU team, City of London Police he presented his experience, but also noted that how can the law enforcement rely on the AI due to the matters raised by Dennis.

They did a systematic literature review on trade mark infringement – what information is available on this by business and management, computer science and law, extending to industry report/data. Some of the keywords used were infringement, duplicate, imitation, competing, replica, copycat, counterfeit, fake. They noted the next step will be text mining: such as a key themes and gaps in the literature; to analyse the structure of the data; and to raise potential approaches. During the talk, I was made aware of Leximancer, did you know about this? a platform that analyses text documents and in the case of IP it does an advanced trade mark similarity assessment models [did I get this info right?].</div><div><br /></div><div><span style="color: red;">Claudio Bergonzi</span>, Director Global IP enforcement, at Alibaba Group, concentrated in four points: </div><div>1) establishing good programmes – what IPRs are there;</div><div>2) proactive use of AI; </div><div>3) offline corporation – law enforcement (what is behind, distribution networks); and </div><div>4)cooperation with rightsholders. </div><div>For instance, he mentioned the quantity of consumers they have, in how many countries they put their products on, and how many they deal with by day. For them, it is essential to know what IPRs there are and to whom they belong to and emphasised the importance of cooperation from traders. Noted that Alibaba uses AI, and they continuously feed data. They also work heavily on identifying legitimate products – and work also on counterfeit prevention ( by recording images). Talking about fakes, he gave an example which again, I think I am living under a rock!, anyways, he mentioned influencers telling followers like ‘buy this green t-shirt from Alibaba and use this code and you will get a fake [luxury fashion brand bag]’ what?!!! He continued to cover the matter of fake reviews –which is feeding to AI.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiCdV1GTwAvJ2YdSOWCBJfbkIAMDRi7tJWex7Z7LOTyQPnZGMzP3W1dWrhxDJSwgyQchALG4-CWejCd4a6oCUyZmz00p8u_f0WxGRIoqKVKq_KiKlGl8q2-c_QxFHsYpDQ9r-w0prepQ7cJYrB7JFc4YyFbEdiOsALs9b6ioDfcMuttzAckckl1wH6mg/s4032/TM_posters.jpg" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiCdV1GTwAvJ2YdSOWCBJfbkIAMDRi7tJWex7Z7LOTyQPnZGMzP3W1dWrhxDJSwgyQchALG4-CWejCd4a6oCUyZmz00p8u_f0WxGRIoqKVKq_KiKlGl8q2-c_QxFHsYpDQ9r-w0prepQ7cJYrB7JFc4YyFbEdiOsALs9b6ioDfcMuttzAckckl1wH6mg/s320/TM_posters.jpg" width="240" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: red; font-size: x-small;">The two posters on display</span></td></tr></tbody></table>The day closed with ‘<b>Seed corns for collaborative projects – the findings of PhD research project’</b>.
<span style="color: red;">Sadia Haque</span>, PhD Researcher, Northumbria University presented ‘Brand protection marketing campaign messages, do they work and why?’
<span style="color: red;">Jaishree Prasad</span>, PhD Researcher, Northumbria University presented ‘Why should we even care about brand infringement when our brand is not counterfeited?’
I had the opportunity to speak to them before their presentation as they displayed their posters during the coffee breaks and lunch time. Both junior researchers were enthusiastic about their topics, as well as to be close to finishing this chapter of their life, a PhD. Their topics were topical to the workshop as they presented both quantitative and qualitative research on the matter of counterfeit. Jaishree made reflect upon one of her many findings, which is that the ‘impact of non-luxury brands in the sale of counterfeit bags is greater than to the luxury brands.’ And it does make sense, because rather than expending $50 in a bag from a high street shop, a consume can get from same price, a fake luxury fashion brand bag. It does harm the non-luxury shop as the consumer is their regular, that consumer will NOT buy the original luxury one. Sadia’s examined the messages delivered by campaigns to stop counterfeiting; one of her early conclusions, based on evidence, is that the ‘force’ of the message to make an impact should vary depending on the receiver. This means that we consumers, receive messages differently in accordance to our background.<br />

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="mso-bookmark: _Hlk92209833;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The Wiki Law Project </span></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">took place from 2013
to 2019 in Ecuador, where several governmental actors were discussing about the
necessity to move from an economy based on the exploitation of natural
resources to a model based on knowledge CITA.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The involved parts concluded that it was necessary to promulgate new
regulations on Higher Education, Science, Technology, Innovation, Intellectual
Property, and Traditional Knowledge.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Considering
the instrumental use of Intellectual Property, the IPRs were defined as one of
the main tools needed for the transition to the knowledge economy. But there
was a problem, most citizens were not familiar with IPR.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In fact, even most stakeholders neither understood
the importance of IPRs, nor the use of new works and technologies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also, there was an additional problem,
stakeholders, who were aware of the importance of IPRs, were divided into two
groups that had opposed views. One group saw the IPRs as a profitable tool for
their creations, and the other group, saw it as an obstacle for innovation.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Consequently, the
idea of the Wiki Law Project about</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> IP came up.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">
</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The site was developed jointly by the staff of the </span><i style="font-size: 12pt;">Instituto de Altos
Estudios Nacionales</i><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> (IAEN), NGOs, professional associations, chambers, and
public institutions.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Moreover, the
Ecuadorian Patent and Trademark Office (now SENADI) and the Ministry of Higher
Education (SENESCYT) got involved and support the project.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The wiki was
hosted in the domain of the Ministry of Higher Education, as </span><span lang="ES" style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><a href="http://coesc.educacionsuperior.gob.ec/"><span lang="EN-GB">http://coesc.educacionsuperior.gob.ec/</span></a></span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">. The site explained
didactically all the IPRs and its main features, its daily uses, and its
economic, scientific, and legal significance. Also, the project included a juridical
analysis of the IP Law in forced at that time, as well as a proposal of a draft
Law. The wiki had a basic design, based
on the Wikipedia interface, and allowed to create an account, review the
contents, edit certain texts and create discussion forums.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The wiki was
online from 2013 to 2020. However, the period of greatest activity was from its
launch in March of 2013 to October of 2016, when the new IP regime was approved
within the Organic Code for the Social Knowledge and Innovation Economy, known
as the “CÓDIGO INGENIOS”. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>According to
the wiki managers, there were more than 1.8 million visits and more than 38
thousand editions, in that period. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Additionally,
the wiki generated a domino effect, and suddenly the IPR were in the public
opinion. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A survey conducted by the IP
Office reflected a growth in the news about intellectual property of more than
600% in the period of June 2014 to June 2016.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">After the
approval of the CÓDIGO INGENIOS, the wiki continued online, but the users’
interactions were gradually decreasing until 2020 when the wiki was finally switched
off.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Despite this, the impact generated
by the wiki in their first years was gradually moved to other places in the
remaining years. The Academia was one of the main receivers of the benefits of
this project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If we analyse the
statistics since the wiki was launched, it is possible to identify a
significant and constant growth in the following aspects:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">•<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>There was an increase in the number of
Technology and Innovation Support Centres located at the universities. Before
the project, there was not any Centre according to the WIPO criteria. Today
there are 11 universities that have their own Technology Transfer Office.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">•<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Regarding the use of the IPR into the
Universities, there is a growth in the average that goes from 1.3 patent
applications until 2012 to 27.5 in the period 2012-2019.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">•<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Regarding IP teaching, IP Master's
programs increased from 1 to 5 nationwide.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">•<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The number of IP courses in the
curriculum of the universities also increased. Before the Wiki Law Project,
only 7 universities offered the course of intellectual property as an elective
subject, now there are 25 that have the course as a compulsory subject.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Before, it was only taught in the Law School,
now there are IP courses in 8 different careers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">•<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Regarding final degree projects, a
study conducted in 5 Ecuadorian universities shows an increase of more than
300% since 2013.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As we can see,
the </span><b style="font-size: 12pt;">Wiki Law Project</b><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> was not only a success by itself, but also
generated several positive externalities. Nowadays, the information
technologies allow us to do great things without a big budget. In the case of
the Wiki Law Project, a generic website template with basic functions was
enough.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It was not even necessary to get
a hosting since the page was hosted in the domain of the Ministry of Higher
Education.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">The Wiki Law
project is an example of the interaction between academia and society, which
also generated an academic demand focused on issues related to intellectual
property. It was a project without “owners”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>After the idea was launched, many institutions got involved and once the
wiki was online, a huge collaborative work was generated.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are also several papers that describe
the Wiki Law as a platform that allows to recuperate the public and common
sense of knowledge, throughout collaborative work.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;"><br /></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin;">However, the
Wiki Law Project is just one example of the use of open-source technologies in
the dissemination of intellectual property. What is important here, is not the
instrument but the process. This process results in the use of information
technologies to spread the general aspects of the IPRs and its daily uses. With
this, is possible to create a communication channel in two directions. On one
hand, universities can provide information to society; and on the other hand, universities
could collect data about social and commercial needs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Therefore, with the understanding of these

to say the least. The matter is that joggling between a full-time academic job
comes with presenting and attending conferences, writing papers and plenty of responsibilities
not only academic but also administrative, and then a house, family, and a bit
of Legal consultancy. Aside, the University of Buckingham, where I work, drives,
and leads on personal mentorship – and I am proud of it, but it is time and energy consuming. On this fact, I got
some news to share, well ...maybe there are not brand new, but indeed good news
to share. However, I have to say, that at first, I did not make a fuzz of it,
because I do not like to ‘show off’ but on reflection, the idea of obtaining any
recognition is to acknowledge, and if someone feels that this is their right path
and want to connect with me for further guidance then, I am more than happy to
give a hand.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

of November came out the e-copy of the edited collection <i>Transboundary
Heritage and Intellectual Property Law: Safeguarding Intangible Cultural

as the calibre of the authors were of high standard and engaged in their own

<p class="MsoNormal">The Book Description reads<o:p></o:p></p>
<blockquote><p class="MsoNormal">Since the Intangible Heritage Convention was adopted by
UNESCO in 2003, intangible cultural heritage has increasingly been an important
subject of debate in international forums. As more countries implement the
Intangible Heritage Convention, national policymakers and communities of
practice have been exploring the use of intellectual property protection to
achieve intangible cultural heritage safeguarding outcomes.<o:p></o:p></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p class="MsoNormal">This book examines diverse cultural heritage case studies
from Indigenous communities and local communities in developing and
industrialised countries to offer an interdisciplinary examination of topics at
the intersection between heritage and property which present cross-border
challenges. Analysing a range of case studies which provide examples of
traditional knowledge, traditional cultural expressions, and genetic resources
by a mixture of practitioners and scholars from different fields, the book
addresses guidelines and legislation as well as recent developments about
shared heritage to identify a progressive trend that improves the understanding
of intangible cultural heritage.<o:p></o:p></p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p class="MsoNormal">Considering all forms of intellectual property, including
patents, copyright, design rights, trade marks, geographical indications, and
sui generis rights, the book explores problems and challenges for intangible
cultural heritage in crossborder situations, as well as highlighting positive
relationships and collaborations among communities across geographical
boundaries. Transboundary Heritage and Intellectual Property Law: Safeguarding
Intangible Cultural Heritage will be an important resource for practitioners, scholars,
and students engaged in studying intangible cultural heritage, intellectual
property law, heritage studies, and anthropology.<o:p></o:p></p></blockquote>

I am always skeptical to open links due to virus (are you not?). On second thoughts, I read the link and it was clear that was a verified page and when I clicked there were some juice news for our blog 😊
The heading reads: “Ralph Lauren apologises after Mexico indigenous 'plagiarism' claim”. My reaction was, not again! It has become usual to see big business appropriating cultural designs. But I wonder whether this is due to social media and we, as a society, are more aware of it. The era of globalization surely has made us more aware of what is going on in every corner, but also may have brought in us an appetite for merchandise that is only available in certain regions, or cultures [would you agree?]. <div><br /></div><div><b>Back to the news. </b></div><div>
The wife of the Mexican President wrote on Instagram below the photo of the claimed item
<blockquote>“Hey Ralph: we already realized that you really like Mexican designs, especially those that are elaborated by ancestral cultures that preserve textile tradition.
However, by copying these designs you incur in plagiarism, and as you know, plagiarism is illegal and immoral. At least acknowledge it. And hopefully you will compensate the damage to the original communities that do this work with love and not for millionaire profit.
@ralphlauren
(These designs are by Contla and Saltillo.)” </blockquote>[translation, my own] <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDAm2-we53yi5BUCtvUlAbip90QcV0iOMYbJ1LoD2gkaDjGGIObWV7McNA1NrZjrCb3HGF_XjoqF3dQdHKvYUGSuj9Q7H1sL49J8xw3ZsWfjGMOV1MasK0IizPbFfVxLMZMJh9V94hSIiPBrfbJmdUYC-DtTfMD7NvUIHNdTLSRBH2FPJwliIA-JC2AQ/s447/Picture1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="303" data-original-width="447" height="217" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDAm2-we53yi5BUCtvUlAbip90QcV0iOMYbJ1LoD2gkaDjGGIObWV7McNA1NrZjrCb3HGF_XjoqF3dQdHKvYUGSuj9Q7H1sL49J8xw3ZsWfjGMOV1MasK0IizPbFfVxLMZMJh9V94hSIiPBrfbJmdUYC-DtTfMD7NvUIHNdTLSRBH2FPJwliIA-JC2AQ/s320/Picture1.png" width="320" /></a></div></div><div><br /></div><div><b>Let’s put our IP hat on: is this plagiarism? Is there an infringement?</b>
Traditional cultural expression as such is not protected under the umbrella of IP. Yet, WIPO’s Intergovernmental Committee (IGC) on IP and Genetic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore is working on an international instrument for their protection. [for the drafts go to this page <a href="https://www.wipo.int/tk/en/igc/draft_provisions.html" target="_blank">here</a>). The matter is that IP has a period of protection (full stop). That is the terrible reality that traditional knowledge in general suffers. Added to this, is the fact that even if it were protected by let’s say copyright, there is the argument of ‘inspiration’ that designers rely heavily on. However, there is a fine line between ‘inspiration’ and ‘copy’, and this has been reflected more in recent years (or at least we have become aware of it). </div><div>For instance, three months ago, we<a href="https://iptango.blogspot.com/2022/07/mexico-cultural-mis-appropriation.html" target="_blank"> brought</a> to you the news of Mexico vs Shein, for a garment deemed to be copied by the latter which contained Mayan’s traditional culture. Two years ago, we also <a href="https://iptango.blogspot.com/2019/05/the-guna-people-to-nike-just-dont-do-it.html" target="_blank">posted</a> about the Guna people in Panama vs Nike which contained a ‘mola’ design. I am sure there is not enough space to tell you all about this situation that seems to happen all over again, and again. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><b>Back to the news</b></div><div>
Ralph Lauren has apologised and noted that months ago they remove it and were surprised to see the final products on display.
This may be the end of the story, but not for the communities around the world. While waiting for the WIPO international instruments, there is nothing stopping governments to pass their own national laws protecting their traditional knowledge.

El tema del informe de este año es “<b>¿Cuál es el futuro del crecimiento impulsado por la innovación?</b>”.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">El GII de 2022 también destaca los efectos positivos de <b>dos nuevas oleadas de innovación</b>:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ol><li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Oleada derivada de la era digital</b>, basada en la supercomputación, la inteligencia artificial y la automatización. Efecto: tener una amplia incidencia en la productividad de todos los sectores y en todos los ámbitos de investigación científica.</li><li style="text-align: justify;"><b>Oleada de innovación en ciencia profunda</b>, basada en avances en la biotecnología, la nanotecnología, el desarrollo de nuevos materiales y otras ciencias. Efecto: cambiar por completo las innovaciones en la salud, la alimentación, el medio ambiente y la movilidad (cuatro campos de importancia clave para la sociedad).</li></ol></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Algunas de las <b>conclusiones </b>del GII señaladas en el <a href="https://www.wipo.int/pressroom/es/articles/2022/article_0011.html"><b>comunicado de prensa</b></a> son las siguientes:</div><span><a name='more'></a></span><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><ul><li style="text-align: justify;">“[La] investigación y el desarrollo (I+D), y otras inversiones que impulsan la actividad innovadora en todo el mundo se dispararon en 2021, a pesar de la pandemia de COVID-19.</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Las empresas que más gastan en I+D en todo el mundo incrementaron en 2021 su gasto en I+D casi un 10%, hasta superar los 900.000 millones de dólares USD, cifra superior a la de 2019, año previo a la pandemia.</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Este aumento se debe principalmente a cuatro sectores: hardware y equipos eléctricos de TIC; servicios de software y TIC; productos farmacéuticos y biotecnología; y construcción y metales industriales.</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Las asignaciones presupuestarias de los gobiernos de los países que más gastan en I+D mostraron un crecimiento continuado en 2020. En cuanto a los presupuestos públicos de I+D de 2021, el panorama es más variado: el gasto crece en la República de Corea y Alemania, pero disminuye en los Estados Unidos y el Japón.</li><li style="text-align: justify;">Las transacciones de capital riesgo se dispararon un 46% en 2021, y registraron niveles comparables a los de los años del auge de Internet a finales de la década de 1990.</li><li style="text-align: justify;">En las regiones de América Latina y el Caribe y África se observa el mayor crecimiento de este tipo de transacciones”.</li></ul></div><table align="center"

At the end I reported on others that were still pending. Well…I got it wrong, my wonderful and desirable guess was not so brilliant after all. Peru is putting this in the ‘long overdue’ to do list, and I said overdue because Colombia, a counterpart in the EU FTA together with Peru, started to work towards this back in 2012. </p><p><br /></p><p>The other guesses were: Locarno Agreement (re classification for industrial design); Strasbourg Agreement (re classification for patent); Nice Agreement (re classification for marks); and the Vienna Agreement (re classification for marks that consist or have a figurative element). All of them consist of international classification, which will appear in official documents and publications relating to the registration and renewals of the designs, patents, and marks respectively, the NUMBERS of the categories, DIVISIONS and SECTIONS of the Classification to which the design, patent and marks belong to. </p><p><br /></p><p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiSsV1qZuKvdi5kKnBdNQ3VK-lk88eizKRBkRenFoGgX93eTJAPRjDtOgE0iycidi_XVCEUXnfiIj8FKlhroR9vzRzHWTKqsPMZP9qETTbmfk-GzGOFlspbCLK_rLhcqxigKT63HCOapiTRA_iiNNLVtn8I3PhM_ISGdkHI9QCMa0dttDY5XRQIDL42_w" style="clear: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img alt="" data-original-height="660" data-original-width="800" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiSsV1qZuKvdi5kKnBdNQ3VK-lk88eizKRBkRenFoGgX93eTJAPRjDtOgE0iycidi_XVCEUXnfiIj8FKlhroR9vzRzHWTKqsPMZP9qETTbmfk-GzGOFlspbCLK_rLhcqxigKT63HCOapiTRA_iiNNLVtn8I3PhM_ISGdkHI9QCMa0dttDY5XRQIDL42_w=w251-h207" width="251" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Photo: <a aria-label="View organization page for Proarándanos" class="text-sm link-styled no-underline leading-open" data-tracking-control-name="organization_guest_main-feed-card_feed-actor-name" data-tracking-will-navigate="" href="https://pe.linkedin.com/company/proarandanos?trk=organization_guest_main-feed-card_feed-actor-name" style="--tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / 0.5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; background-color: white; border: var(--artdeco-reset-link-border-zero); box-sizing: border-box; font-family: -apple-system, system-ui, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", "Fira Sans", Ubuntu, Oxygen, "Oxygen Sans", Cantarell, "Droid Sans", "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Lucida Grande", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.5; margin: var(--artdeco-reset-base-margin-zero); padding: var(--artdeco-reset-base-padding-zero); text-align: left; vertical-align: var(--artdeco-reset-base-vertical-align-baseline);">Proarándanos</a></td></tr></tbody></table>During the encounter, Peru noted its effort to implement WIPO GREEN. This is an initiative that promotes ‘innovation and diffusion of green technologies’ (for more info, see <a href="https://www3.wipo.int/wipogreen/en/" target="_blank">here</a>). The goal is to ‘connect providers and seekers of environmentally friendly technologies’ via an online platform where they can exchange information. Peru noted that they are focusing on the agro-industrial sector specifically prioritizing coffee, and blueberries. Peru has TWO denominations of origin for its coffee: Café Villa Rica and Café Machu Picchu – Huadquiña. While there is none for blueberries, this fruit has put Peru in the top list of exporters, for instance, this year has exported more than 5,000 tons of blueberries (<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/proarandanos/" target="_blank">Proarándanos</a>). </p><p><br /><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>To read the news click<a href="https://www.gob.pe/institucion/indecopi/noticias/636045-asambleas-ompi-presidente-del-indecopi-estrecho-lazos-de-cooperacion-internacional-para-la-proteccion-y-defensa-de-la-propiedad-intelectual" target="_blank"> here.</a></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8989033901007858593.post-34821833480468547522022-07-29T10:22:00.003+02:002022-07-29T10:22:39.671+02:00Mexico: cultural (mis) appropriationLast week, the Mexican Secretary of Culture sent a letter to the company SHEIN asking to clarify the launch of the piece “Flower trim top with floral print” that is identical to a garment designed by the handicraft brand ‘ YucaChulas’.<div><br /></div><div>The statement reads ‘” cultural elements whose origin is fully documented’, which generate economic rewards in the communities that sell them. The blouse, short huipil, was created in the Mayan communities of Yucatan, Campeche and Quintana Roo, and its design would not be possible without knowledge “transmitted from generation to generation, product of the collective creativity of the Mayan people.”’ YucaChulas also went to social media (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/yucachulas" target="_blank">here</a>) to express their dismay against SHEIN due to the lack of recognition of the work made by local artisans and how plagiarism diminish and devalued their culture.

And now, WIPO has advanced in this topic – see early publication <a href="https://iptango.blogspot.com/2022/07/asamblea-general-de-la-ompi-avanza.html">here.</a> In the meantime, some countries, especially in Latin America, have some kind of legislation that regulates the use of traditional knowledge, but yet there is not clear procedure or enforcement, it seems like just ‘good practice’. However, one must say that the Panama Law No. 20 on the Special Intellectual Property Regime with Respect to the Collective Rights of Indigenous Peoples to the Protection and Defence of their Cultural Identity and Traditional Knowledge, seems a solid one. Others, like Colombia, continues to use Geographical Indications protecting cultural expressions and traditional knowledge, although this protects the product linked to the origin, rather than the product per se. The same strategy is used in Peru, where you will notice several ‘collective marks’. Yet, IP is territorial and these legal tools, used in Panama, Colombia and Peru as examples, only will stop the ‘plagiarised’ product to be sold in their countries, but can continue to sell it in other jurisdictions.

instruments of accession to five treaties, including the <i>Geneva Act of the
Lisbon Agreement</i>, which shows ‘commitment as a country’. There is not other
indication of what other Treaties or Agreements those would be, but if we are
to guess, one maybe the <i>Madrid System</i>, which now covers 128 countries. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> From Latin America:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li>Brazil (Madrid Protocol, October 2019; </li><li>Chile
(Madrid Protocol, 2022); </li><li>Colombia (Madrid Protocol, August, 2012); </li><li>Cuba (Madrid Agreement, December,
1989; Madrid Protocol, December 1995); </li><li>Mexico (Madrid Protocol, (Madrid
Protocol, February 2013). </li></ul>This is long overdue, Colombia, the first Latin America country to become a party, did it back in 2012 as a compromise - noted in the FTA with the EU (published in this blog <a href="https://iptango.blogspot.com/2010/06/colombias-adhesion-to-madrid-protocol.html" target="_blank">here</a>), which
was signed same time (June 2012) <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>by both,
Peru and Colombia (later on signed by Ecuador). <o:p></o:p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Regarding Geographical Indications (GI), the three countries,
that is Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, amended and or adopted GI legislation in a
manner similar to the EU. The EU deposited its instrument of accession
to the Geneva Act of the Lisbon Agreement on 26 November 2019, and in force
since February 2020.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Any other guess?</b> Peru is not yet pat of the Hague Agreement,
Nice agreement, Locarno Agreement, Strasbourg Agreement, Vienna Agreement, Nairobi
Treaty, Patent Law Treaty and Washington Treaty – which of these, do you think
they are going to go for?<o:p></o:p></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
