Hague, PCT, Madrid -> Timeline -> My Dilemma + Proposal

There’re some procedural similarities & differences between PCT, Madrid & Hague System, which the present blog discusses, as how they are poles apart, but, still have similar foundational structure. So far, previous blogs briefly discussed: Online Contracts, parts of IP (Pat/D/TM/C) / IT Act, Domain Arbitrations, Domestic/International prosecution etc.

When Claim or Oppose & When Not to Troll!

IP is necessary for recognition of the Original Creator & in No Way should become the means to Exploit public at large. An analogy, Tesla > Edison.

So far, previous blogs covered parts of IP & IT Acts, Procedures (Domestic/International), Biodiversity, Protocols, Online Contracts, Arbitration etc. This present blog is restricted when might oppositions become troll, beyond definitions.

Dilemma of Software Patents

Few years back, I contended for the need of Software Patents at a moderate level. The present blog contradicts it. So far, in my previous blogs, I’ve covered parts of IP (Pat/TM/D/C) & IT (Acts & Rules), International Procedures/Constraints, Domain Arbitrations etc. The present blog, as stated above, is where I elucidate the Dilemma of Software Patents.

Connection/Disconnection within IP

In earlier blogs I covered some parts of IT Act, IP Act, Online Contracts, its International Procedures. The present blog briefly covers how IP from within is Connected/Disconnected. Upto, 2:2 ratio for (Pat/TM/D/C), I've termed as Disconnected. :) 

1. Compulsory License: In Patents & Copyrights, provision of Compulsory License is present, S. 84 of Patent & S.31 of Copyright. Whilst in TM & Design, there isn’t such provision. So Disconnected.

Biodiversity in Patent

 

So far, in previous blogs, I briefly elucidated some parts, procedures & issues, w.r.t. IT Act, Patent, Designs, Copyrights, UDRP, TM, PCT, Madrid Protocol. So, continuing the trend, would go back & discuss Biodiversity in Patents, in general.

So, if one discovers a plant with medicinal properties, can exclusive rights on it be claimed? Nope!

Online Contracts!

 

So, continuing my journey of elucidating in brief; whereabouts, procedures & issues revolving around IP & IT Acts (minus, monotonous in verbatim, definitions); present blog is w.r.t. Online Contracts.
