PROJECT OVERVIEW - CIPO IT IMPLEMENTATION OF BILLS C-31 AND C-8 FOR TRADE-MARKS
Major changes to the main Trade-marks system are required to allow the new Nice Classification, business process changes due to the Singapore Treaty as well as the compliance to the Madrid Protocol. The Nice Classification is an international agreement on classifying goods and services in relation to trade-marks. As a result system changes are required to enable applicants to select the Nice classes of trade-marks with their application. The implementation of the Nice Agreement will require changes to the electronic commerce filing system which accounts for 96% of new trade-marks applications as well as changes to the trade-marks processing system to handle the individual Nice classes.
The Singapore Treaty harmonizes the processing of trademark applications among member countries. In the case of Canadian trade-marks, Singapore has significant impact on a number of processes/rules. In addition, other process changes were introduced in Bill C-31 and C-8 that impact the trade-mark processing system.
The Madrid Protocol is an international agreement to allow the filing of a trade-marks application in one member country and then designate other member states for protection. The processing of these international applications requires additional workflow steps to the Canadian trade-mark filing process. In addition to these processing steps there is a requirement to transfer the international application/registration between CIPO and World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
Project tasks are centered around the analysis design, development, implementation and support of Java architecture based on specifications and requirements according to IC’s standards and guidelines and legislative requirements.
