[gnso-rpm-wg] Updated table of TMCH proposals and glossary of terms

[Mary Wong]

Dear all,

Staff has updated the table of open TMCH questions (on design marks, GIs and TMCH matching rules) with the new proposal on GIs submitted on Friday by Jonathan Agmon (see attached document). Given the ongoing Working Group discussions on the mailing list on some of these topics, we have not attempted to summarize the specific discussion items and sub-topics, but we will be happy to do so if this will be helpful.

Also attached is the staff-prepared glossary of terms relating to design marks and GIs, which we have updated slightly to note the new Amending Regulation in the EU concerning the definition of a trademark. We hope the glossary is helpful to everyone in distinguishing and/or defining many of the terms and usages around design/device/composite/figurative marks, collective and certification marks, GIs and appellations of origin, etc.

You may also wish to note that WIPO maintains a searchable database of the IP laws of many countries, which you can specify the country of search as well as the type of IP right (e.g. copyright, GIs, industrial design, patents, trademarks etc.) for which you are seeking the applicable legislation or treaty: http://www.wipo.int/wipolex/en/.

Thanks and cheers
Mary
