“IP Authorities” Pay Homage To PCT, Call For Action On Harmonisation, Backlog

21/09/2009 by Kaitlin Mara for Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

Improved searches and application quality and a focus on backlog reduction are necessary to improve the patent system, patent authorities concluded at a World Intellectual Property Organization symposium last week. This will require patent offices around the world to work together, and the WIPO Patent Cooperation Treaty, most speakers said, is the path forward for global patent coordination.

Los miembros de la OMPI someten a examen el proyecto de presupuesto por programas de 2010-2011

29/07/2009 by William New, Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

Los Estados miembros de la Organización Mundial de la Propiedad Intelectual (OMPI) analizaron minuciosamente esta semana el proyecto de presupuesto por programas de 2010-2011 propuesto por la Secretaría de la OMPI, el primero que refleja plenamente el reajuste estratégico del organismo de Naciones Unidas elaborado por el Director General Francis Gurry. A pesar de las cerca de 200 intervenciones de los Estados sobre los diferentes aspectos del plan, al parecer se respaldó la propuesta de la Secretaría para el presupuesto bienal de 618,6 millones de francos suizos (577,2 millones de dólares estadounidenses), lo que representa una disminución del 1,6%, o 9,8 millones de francos suizos, en comparación con el presupuesto de 2008-2009.

أعضاء الويبو يفحصون مشروع البرنامج والميزانية للفترة 2010-2011

28/07/2009 by William New, Intellectual Property Watch Leave a Comment

امت الحكومات الأعضاء في المنظمة العالمية للملكية الفكرية هذا الأسبوع بتحليل دقيق مطول لمشروع البرنامج والميزانية الذي اقترحته أمانة الويبو للفترة 2010-2011 – وهي أول وثيقة تعكس تماما إعادة التنظيم الاستراتيجي التي قام بها مدير المنظمة فرانسيس غري. ورغم حوالي 200 مداخلات قامت بها الحكومات حول جوانب الخطة، كان هناك تأييد على ما يبدو لاقتراح الأمانة المتعلق بميزانية السنتين التي تبلغ 618,6 مليون فرنك سويسري (577,2 مليون دولار أمريكي)، مع انخفاض بنسبة 1,6 في المائة أو 9,8 مليون فرنك سويسري، مقارنة بالفترة 2008-2009.
