Peru joins the WIPO’s Inventor Assistance Program

IPTango September 14, 2020 No comments:

Peru has joined the WIPO’s Inventor Assistance Program (IAP, and PAI in Spanish). The program is a global initiative which provides inventors and micro-enterprises from developing countries with pro bono legal assistance on patents (e.g. drafting and prosecution).

It is required that the IAP beneficiaries have been admitted to INDECOPI’s PATENTA program. Once they are selected for the IAP, a local attorney will assist them during the whole application process.

Likewise, a foreign attorney may also support the IAP beneficiaries when dealing with Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) applications.

Indeed, both local and foreign patent attorneys (e.g. located in Europe, Japan, and the United States of America) may apply for being IAP volunteers. More information about IAP volunteers here [section Get involved, Pro bono attorneys – Work with the IAP].

Other participating countries in the Inventor Assistance Program are Colombia, Ecuador, Morocco, the Philippines, and South Africa.

More information can be reviewed on INDECOPI’s dedicated website for IAP (PAI in Spanish), INDECOPI’s press release, and WIPO’s press release.

Today! Don't forget the 'event' TK and IP

Patricia Covarrubia September 11, 2020 No comments:

As noted early on the week under 'upcoming events on this week', today is the day to attend the webinar by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) E-commerce and Intellectual Property for Indigenous Peoples and Local Community Entrepreneurs.

I will be in attendance, will you?

The majority, if not all of our countries in Latin America are rich in genetic resources and traditional knowledge. Many do indeed protect traditional handicraft under Geographical Indications and for instance, Panama has a sui generis Law 20 (2020) which aims to protect TK and TCEs.

In Brazil, there are many local products that have benefited from GI protection (as a sui generis system), and some of them were globally seen in the Olympic games Rio 2016 (opening ceremony). Here you can see a very helpful map of GIs in Brazil.

In Colombia, there are 11 Denominations of Origin granted to handicraft, one of them is the weaving products 'Wayuu' referring to the Wayuu indigenous people. Check out (here) the list of DOs already granted in Colombia.

For more inside in how TK is seen as economic activity, check out this paper (available here) that I wrote back in March 2019 (IIC). Remember, GI has the potential to benefit rural communities, but there is some instance that there is no gold at the end of the rainbow.

Brazil: new patent priority examination

Patricia Covarrubia September 08, 2020 No comments:

Starting this September 2020, the Instituto Nacional da Propriedad Industrial (INPI) adds to its lists of patent priority examination, TWO more. They are technology applications resulting from public funding and technology applications already available on the market.

INPI already has available 14 types of priority applications, that is, procedures in place. With the two new additions, INPI has ‘16 types of priority procedure available, 14 for the general public and two for public entities’. INPI notes that the period for decisions of priority examination, counted from the application date, was done in 13.1 months (July 2020).

The move to prioritize these two was based on the following:

Application with technology resulting from public funding: to ‘speed up the development of new technologies, given that investments in innovation impose high risks and uncertainties for the viability of new projects.’ INPI notes that ‘public funding agencies have been important drivers of innovation.’
Applications with technology already available on the market: to ‘promote an increase in legal certainty, with a consequent improvement in the business environment in Brazil.’ INPI notes that it is ‘possible to request the prioritization of the exam by third parties interested in the technology, also stimulating the innovative process.’

El Índice Mundial de Innovación de 2020: Latinoamérica y el Caribe

Verónica Rodríguez Arguijo September 02, 2020 No comments:

La 13ª edición del Índice Mundial de Innovación de 2020 (GII, por sus siglas en inglés) fue publicada hoy. El documento es una publicación conjunta de la Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual (OMPI), la Universidad Cornell y la INSEAD.

La Confederación Nacional de la Industria (CNI) de Brasil, la empresa 3DEXPERIENCE (Dassault Systèmes), y la Confederación de la Industria India (CII) colaboraron como socios especializados “apoyando la elaboración” del GII.

La publicación “es fundamentalmente una clasificación de las capacidades y los resultados en el ámbito de la innovación en las economías de todo el mundo”.

El tema del Índice Mundial de Innovación de 2020 es ¿Quién financiará la innovación?, el cual resulta de suma importancia y pertinencia a la luz de la pandemia COVID-19.

La OMPI compartió algunas conclusiones en el comunicado de prensa publicado hoy:

“La crisis derivada de la COVID-19 ha afectado al panorama de la innovación en un momento en que esta prosperaba.
[E]l dinero para financiar los proyectos innovadores se está agotando. Las iniciativas de capital riesgo están disminuyendo drásticamente en América del Norte, Asia y Europa.
La repercusión de esta falta de financiación de la innovación será desigual, y los efectos negativos se dejarán sentir con mayor fuerza en las primeras etapas de las iniciativas de capital riesgo, en las empresas emergentes con un alto grado de I+D y en los países que no suelen ser focos de atracción del capital riesgo.
La crisis derivada de la COVID-19 ya ha impulsado la innovación en numerosos sectores, nuevos y tradicionales, como la salud, la educación, el turismo y el comercio minorista.”

Suiza, Suecia, Estados Unidos de América, Reino Unido y Países Bajos encabezan los primeros lugares del Índice Mundial de Innovación de 2020.

Los líderes regionales en innovación en Latinoamérica y el Caribe son Chile (lugar 54 del GII), México (lugar 55 del GII) y Costa Rica (lugar 56 del GII).

Los resultados contenidos en el estudio también pueden consultarse por cada país de América Latina y el Caribe:

Chile (Lugar del GII: 54)
México (Lugar del GII: 55)
Costa Rica (Lugar del GII: 56)
Brasil (Lugar del GII: 62)
Colombia (Lugar del GII: 68)
Uruguay (Lugar del GII: 69)
Jamaica (Lugar del GII: 72)
Panamá (Lugar del GII: 73)
Perú (Lugar del GII: 76)
Argentina (Lugar del GII: 80)
República Dominicana (Lugar del GII: 90)
El Salvador (Lugar del GII: 92)
Paraguay (Lugar del GII: 97)
Trinidad y Tobago (Lugar del GII: 98)
Ecuador (Lugar del GII: 99)
Honduras (Lugar del GII: 103)
Bolivia (Lugar del GII: 105)
Guatemala (Lugar del GII: 106)

El estudio reveló que Brasil, México y Argentina son “sede de empresas multinacionales que invierten en I+D y se encuentran entre las diez principales economías de ingresos medios en cuanto a la calidad de la innovación”.

En cuanto al indicador 7.1.2 respecto al valor de las marcas a nivel mundial, los líderes regionales son México (lugar 30), Chile (lugar 37), Colombia (lugar 40), Brasil (lugar 43) y Argentina (lugar 57).

Mientras que Chile (lugar 38), Uruguay (lugar 49) y Brasil (lugar 50) destacan por la producción de alto nivel de artículos científicos y técnicos (indicador 6.1.4).
