Would It Be WIPO, OR, Fragmented International IP Prosecutions, And ITS Dilemmas!

 

I wrote earlier long back in one of my blogs about what would happen to WIPO if and when Nations start implementing their own Sectarian WIPOs! Be it Vide -> BRICS or QUAD or The AMERICAS’ (North & South) OR WESTERN Alliance OR E.U. OR SCO OR SAARC etc. That means, we will witness somehow different versions of WIPOs! That won’t restrict therein, because everyone would want their own prosecution timelines to be implemented!  But then, that should be started with the TRIPS, going back to the basics of Paris Convention, BERNE! And what if this doesn’t happen and we return back to the CONVENTION based Prosecutions only? Too tedious! But in that case, it will go back to the basics of overhauling ICANN, then layer by layer would come for WIPO and so on!

If the above happens, then it would be long, tedious, endless discussions! Because, then in the democratic way of selecting what Procedures or Policies or Regulations or Rules would thrive, every nation would put their own name in the chit box, and when democratically selected, we would’ve 180+ draft versions of Policies, Regulations, Procedures, and, Rules. Good Luck with that!

But if you look closely, except in the UDRP domain name prosecutions, wherein the domain name is cancelled or removed or transferred, subject to no appeal at the appropriate jurisdictions, whether it is the Madrid TM or Hague or PCT, not much of jurisdiction powers are bestowed with the WIPO too! Yes, it matters if in the Chapter – I you can alter the Claims, while in Chapter – II, one can alter the entire description and drawings, which would be considered by the Elected Offices; unlike in the Madrid or Hague, which just plays the Medium or Bridge of the Documents at the International Level; nothing much happens therein!

Indeed, the Nations are bound to follow TRIPS, that’s how even the Convention Application System Works, otherwise, everyone would’ve their own Tunes and in Tuxedos Rhyming!

Thus, the Conclusion of this Blog is -> IF in case someone is looking for overhauling at WIPO, then what’s the Option Dear? Please explain to me! Because even if we run the permutations and combinations in the alternate universe, I can only deduce that you can EDIT the WIPO, Upgrade it, Amend it; But Assembling the Sectarian Pieces would be a HUGE Difficult Task, and Good Luck with that! Scooby Dooby Doo! :)
