En memoria de Hugo Contreras Lamadrid, Director General del Instituto Nacional del Derecho de Autor

IPTango October 09, 2020 No comments:

El equipo de IPTango se une a la pena que embarga a familiares, amigos y colaboradores por el fallecimiento de Hugo Contreras Lamadrid, Director General del Instituto Nacional del Derecho de Autor (INDAUTOR).

El Profesor Gustavo Schötz comparte con nuestros lectores una semblanza sobre Hugo Contreras Lamadrid:

De modo sorpresivo, a sus 54 años, falleció Hugo Contreras Lamadrid.

Se graduó como Licenciado en Derecho por la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). Contaba estudios de Maestría y una Especialidad en Derecho de la Propiedad Intelectual por la División de Posgrado de la Facultad de Derecho de la UNAM y una especialidad en Derecho Civil por la Universidad Panamericana.

Fue Director del Seminario de Derecho Procesal de la UNAM, donde fue distinguido con la Cátedra Extraordinaria “José Castillo Larrañaga”.

Desde 2018 fue el Director General del Instituto Nacional del Derecho de Autor (INDAUTOR). Fue Representante de México en el Comité Permanente de Derecho de Autor y Derechos Conexos (SCCR) de la OMPI.

Entre 2012 y 2014 fue co-fundador y Director de la Revista Derecho sin Fronteras, publicación jurídica sobre derecho constitucional, procesal, propiedad intelectual, derecho sanitario y derecho penal.

Fue Profesor Invitado de la Universidad de Buenos Aires, la Universidad del Salvador y la Universidad Austral, de Argentina.

Se especializó en la resolución alternativa de conflictos, especialmente la mediación, y abogaba para una más extensa aplicación de esta figura para resolver los conflictos vinculados al derecho de autor.

En lo personal, fue un gran amigo y colega. Nos conocimos hace 10 años, con ocasión de un seminario conjunto entre la UNAM y la Universidad Austral sobre patentes en biotecnología y datos de prueba en biosimilares, en Buenos Aires. Compartimos la organización y exposición en varios cursos y programas de televisión, ya que fue productor de Derecho sin Fronteras en el canal de la UNAM. En 2012, se incorporó al Consejo de Redacción de la Revista Iberoamericana de la Propiedad Intelectual (RIPI).

Luego vino su nombramiento en el INDAUTOR y coincidimos en el SCCR de la OMPI, donde impulsamos distintas iniciativas, siempre en el marco del GRULAC. Fue un gusto y un honor compartir esos momentos con Hugo.

Siempre fue muy trabajador y dedicado. Apasionado docente. Se podía hablar con confianza y tenía posiciones muy constructivas.

Conocimos a su familia, Inés y sus hijos, con quienes compartimos la aflicción que los embarga. Para Hugo, la familia siempre estaba en el primer lugar de sus conversaciones.

Te extrañaremos Hugo.

SENADI Ecuador launched the dedicated website for the Marrakesh VIP Treaty

IPTango September 27, 2020 No comments:

On 22 September 2020, the National Service of Intellectual Rights of Ecuador (SENADI Ecuador) launched the dedicated website for the Marrakesh Treaty to facilitate access to published works for persons who are blind, visually impaired or otherwise print disabled (Marrakesh VIP Treaty).

The Marrakesh VIP Treaty, which has been in force in Ecuador since on 30 September 2016, requires “Contracting Parties to introduce a standard set of limitations and exceptions to copyright rules in order to permit reproduction, distribution and making available of published works in formats designed to be accessible to VIPs [blind, visually impaired, and otherwise print disabled], and to permit exchange of these works across borders by organizations that serve those beneficiaries”.

Brazil, Ecuador, and Paraguay proposed the Treaty during the 18th session of the WIPO Standing Committee on Copyright and Related Rights in May 2009.

The dedicated website for the Marrakesh VIP Treaty is audible and includes a brief history of the Treaty, the objectives, and the applicable legislation. Likewise, the website contains information about the actions and tools for the implementation of the Treaty, such as Úrsula (software developed by CERLALC which allows the authorized entities to register works in accessible formats to the blind, visually impaired, and otherwise print disabled).

WIPO Lex – Sentencias: ¡Se pone en marcha la base de datos mundial gratuita sobre resoluciones judiciales!

Verónica Rodríguez Arguijo September 25, 2020 No comments:

El 24 de septiembre de 2020, la Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual (OMPI) anunció la puesta en marcha de la nueva base de datos gratuita WIPO Lex - Sentencias, la cual contiene resoluciones judiciales sobre cuestiones de propiedad intelectual de diversos países.

Se puede acceder a la base de datos a través del portal WIPO LEX, el cual ya contiene diversas leyes y tratados en materia de propiedad intelectual de todo el mundo.

Las características

WIPO Lex - Sentencias está disponible en español, inglés, árabe, chino, francés y ruso. Por el momento, la base de datos contiene más de 400 resoluciones de los siguientes diez países:

Australia (10 resoluciones)
Brasil (36 resoluciones)
Chile (50 resoluciones)
China (30 resoluciones)
Costa Rica (83 resoluciones)
España (34 resoluciones)
Jamaica (11 resoluciones)
México (76 resoluciones)
Perú (72 resoluciones)
República de Corea (20 resoluciones)

La OMPI destacó que las sentencias fueron “seleccionadas directamente por los tribunales u otras autoridades nacionales de los Estados miembros por considerarlas resoluciones destacadas debido a su importante valor como precedente o repercusión”. De igual forma, las sentencias fueron emitidas, entre otros, por tribunales especializados y “entidades administrativas que desempeñan funciones cuasijudiciales”.

Las resoluciones se pueden consultar en su idioma original e incluyen herramientas de traducción automática a varios idiomas (WIPO Translate y Google Traductor).

Una descripción general de las estructuras de la administración judicial de las controversias en materia de propiedad intelectual está disponible en algunos de los perfiles de los miembros [haga clic debajo de “Consulta … Citations (sic)”]. Esta sección contiene un resumen de los procedimientos administrativos y judiciales, las características específicas en relación con la PI, estadísticas de casos y enlaces a las bases de datos oficiales de las sentencias.

Los criterios de búsqueda

WIPO Lex - Sentencias permite buscar resoluciones de acuerdo con los siguientes criterios:

País
Materia (p. ej., derechos de autor, patentes, marcas, observancia de las leyes de PI, indicaciones geográficas, competencia, conocimientos tradicionales, expresiones culturales tradicionales, transferencia de tecnología)
Órgano emisor (p. ej., Sala Especializada en Propiedad Intelectual, Suprema Corte)
Instancia (primera instancia, apelación e instancia final)
Tipo de procedimiento (administrativo, civil, comercial, constitucional, contencioso administrativo, penal)
Legislación nacional relevante
Tratados relevantes
Fecha de la sentencia
Palabras clave

Toda vez que la base de datos es parte de WIPO LEX, las referencias cruzadas a las leyes nacionales y los tratados internacionales aplicables están disponibles cuando se consulta una sentencia.

Se espera que se sigan agregando más resoluciones a la base de datos. La OMPI alienta a los Estados miembros interesados en aportar sentencias a que se pongan en contacto aquí.

Comentarios

La puesta en marcha de WIPO Lex - Sentencias generó mucha expectación. Como destacó la OMPI, la base de datos “atiende directamente a las necesidades expresadas por muchos Estados miembros —inicialmente la región de América Latina y el Caribe y España—“.

En este sentido, la base de datos proporciona información valiosa sobre las resoluciones y los razonamientos de los tribunales de diferentes jurisdicciones. Asimismo, pone de relieve las estructuras de la administración judicial de las controversias en materia de propiedad intelectual de algunos países.

En general, WIPO Lex - Sentencias es una herramienta útil, en particular para los practicantes, investigadores y encargados de formular políticas.

Sin duda alguna, ¡será interesante ver más resoluciones de diferentes jurisdicciones agregadas a WIPO Lex - Sentencias!

¡Vea aquí el video en inglés que muestra algunos aspectos destacados de la base de datos!

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.

Upcoming events on this week!
