The Hague Agreement has provided international protection for
industrial designs since 1925. The latest of several revisions,
agreed upon at Geneva in 1999, is operational as of April 1, 2004,
under the administration of the World Intellectual Property
Organization (WIPO). The global protection of industrial designs,
accommodating all forms of national protection systems, will be
based on this treaty. This in-depth analysis by
William T.
Fryer, III, a well-known Professor of Law and patent attorney
who participated [and participant] in the meetings and diplomatic
conference that led up to the 1999 Act (as well as in subsequent
user meetings), is unlikely to be superseded. It presents a
detailed drafting history and expert analysis, as well as
incomparable strategic guidance for attorneys, businesses, and
governments in the implementation of the Act's provisions. Readers
can expect all of the following and more: an overall understanding
of how the 1999 Act operates to amend and update the Hague
Agreement;
- expert analysis of the Act's key
features;
- detailed exploration of the Act's
drafting history;
- strategic insights into using the
Act's provisions to protect industrial designs;
- guidance for governments considering
adherence to the Act; and
- a source book for the main treaty
documents.
The book will be of inestimable value to lawyers worldwide working
in intellectual property protection, as well as to industrial
designers, businesses, and government officials in trade policy. It
is an essential addition to all law libraries.
