The Global Period Sample Clauses

The Global Period. The 19th Century saw a lot of activity as far as patents are concerned. There was recognition by many states that an international framework for the regulation of intellectual property was desirable. Action had to be taken and one such move was the adoption of the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property in 1883. Before this time, ‘it was difficult if not impossible to obtain protection for industrial inventions in various countries because of differences between the systems operated by the countries. In 1873, there was to be held an international exhibition of inventions in Vienna upon invitation by the government of the Austria-Hungary Empire. The US and a few other countries were not happy with the level of legal protection for the inventions at the fair. The US was worried that many of the inventions would benefit the Austrian public without due return to the inventors.’38 This outcry led to a number of meetings and conferences to discuss ways of bringing about an international understanding on patent protection. The result of these was the Paris Convention, which in 1883, was signed by 11 countries. The number has risen over the years and also the Convention has been revised several times. 36 WIPO, supra note 6 page 17. 37 Ibid 38 WIPO Intellectual Property Handbook, 2001 page 241 The Paris convention established the principles of national treatment, the right of priority and special agreement.39 The Paris Convention was an outgrowth of a period of globalisation when the grant of patents in many countries was seen as a desirable solution to recover the costs of investments. With increased international trade in the current period of globalisation, attempts have been made to solve some problems through international harmonisation of patent laws. It must be mentioned here that the US had a big role to play during the run up to the creation and adoption of the Paris convention because unlike in issues of copyright where they were leaders in piracy, the US citizens and companies were directly affected by inadequate legal protection for inventions. Because it favoured them, the US government fought hard to have some legal framework of an international nature in place.
