Dear Diary,
I’ve no idea whether this part was looked by someone else, but, the other day, I had this dilemma, as, can the concept of Self-Anticipation, which is similar to the concept of Self-Plagiarism, be also applicable w.r.t. to the Provisional Filing Priority? But how am I going to prove that?
I’m wondering, as in the First wave de-globalization has been triggered, what would be the status of WIPO, i.e. Hague, UDRP (Other Domain Name Redressal Arbitration Boards), Madrid, PCT; and if in case the First Wave is successful, policies/rules of WIPO would hardly be followed then; again, if in case the First Wave becomes successful, and most probably, it would indeed become. Firstly, the Fee part would have substantial implications, especially in case of PCT; wherein, the option of 90% reduction for the NPs won’t be accepted by others. But the biggest issue is, what is the guarantee that WIPO commandments post DE-Globalization would be accepted by all? I presume, China would revolt, and why not, the most affected are the South Asian and South East Asian nations, and some part of the EU, UK! And if WIPO becomes another WHO, then who is going to do the Quality work in the less money? And let me tell you one thing! Not everyone can understand or follow or apply WIPO’s policies and rules; forget about the quality part of the service! It is complicated! And cannot be practically implemented by everyone! The currency conversion issue would again raise many more concerns henceforth.
So, what would become the modus operandi of future? Is it the Conventional style protection for the IP rights, i.e. within 6 Months / 12 Months, for designs, patents, trademarks, from the country of origin?
The more surprising part is, the World accepted such fragile economic structures, and were sailing on the goodwill of mere one or two nations! How?
Let’s come down to the IP part. I feel FOUR things would happen, if in case WIPO ends up just alike WHO:
Dear Diary,
It’s now decade and a half, and my dilemmas w.r.t. the dichotomy of Section (d) and (e) has still not been resolved! As in my immediate previous blog, I explained the universal dilemmas w.r.t. Section 3(k) involved when it comes to Algorithms and Software Programs, and I shared some of my previous blogs too published in 2012 and 2014; similarly, I had this dilemma w.r.t. the word composition as well, and that further included the MARKUSH analysis, its structures, compounds, that’s been claimed novel, which further defines a common core principle, yet been diversified with several different substitutes over it! Not only that, when it comes to Chemical or Pharmaceuticals related compositions, I’m a bit skeptical, of the definitions included under S. 3(e) and 3(d), especially, for the word compositions of known compounds! As explained in my previous blogs too, to overcome them, three words are required:
