IPropathi yobuGcisa boGibraltar-Uphawu lwentengiso

Uphawu lwentengiso lwaziwa njengonobumba, amagama, amagama, utyikityo, iilebheli, izixhobo, amatikiti, imilo kunye nombala, okanye nayiphi na indibaniselwano yezi zinto. Isetyenziswa njengophawu lokwahlulahlula izinto zeshishini lakho okanye iinkonzo kwezo zabanye abarhwebi.

IGibraltar lilungu loMgaqo waseMadrid, izicelo ezivelayo azinakwenziwa apho. Kodwa ngokwecandelo lesi-3 lomThetho woPhawu loRhwebo, ziimpawu zorhwebo kuphela ezibhaliswe e-UK phantsi koMthetho weeMpawu zoRhwebo 1994 (uMthetho we-1994) nge-Ofisi ye-IP yeNgqondo ye-UK kwaye zandiswa kwiNdlu yeeNkampani zeGibraltar ukuze zibe nefuthe eGibraltar. Irejista yeempawu zorhwebo eGibraltar iya kugcina irejista yazo zonke iimpawu zorhwebo, ezivulekileyo ukuba zihlolwe luluntu. Njengoko iGibraltar ililungu le-EU, ikwangena phantsi koMmiselo weBhunga (EU) No40 / 94 kwimpawu zentengiso yoluntu apho kunokwenzeka ukuba kufumaneke ubhaliso lwentengiso olunye olusebenzayo kuyo yonke imimandla ye-EU.

Ubhaliso lwentengiso yenkqubo yaseMadrid echaza i-UK

Ngaphantsi komthetho we-1994 kunye necandelo 3 lomThetho woPhawu loRhwebo, uphawu lwentengiso lwaseMadrid oluchaza i-UK lusebenza njengoko ubhaliso lwase-UK lunokubhaliswa eGibraltar. La maxwebhu alandelayo kufuneka asiwe kwaRegistry:

• Isicelo sokubhalisa uphawu lwentengiso (iFom 1).
• Umelo oluqinisekisiweyo lworhwebo. Isatifikethi soMlawuli weOfisi yePatent yase-United Kingdom (phantsi kwesihloko sakhe soMbhalisi weeNtengiso zorhwebo) enika iinkcukacha ezipheleleyo zobhaliso lwentengiso.
• Iimpawu ezimbini zorhwebo ukuba uphawu lwentengiso sisixhobo esibhalisiweyo.

ISatifikethi soBhaliso siya kukhutshwa phantsi kwecandelo 5 loMthetho wokuPhawula iiRhwebo.

Ubhaliso lwentengiso yenkqubo yaseMadrid echaza i-EU

UMgcini zincwadi zobhaliso lwentengiso uya kuvumela ukubhaliswa kophawu lwentengiso lwaseYurophu kunye nophawu lwentengiso lwaseMadrid oluchaza i-EU eGibraltar. Baya kulandela imveliso yobhaliso lweempawu zorhwebo zase-UK.

Xa iRegistry ifuna amaxwebhu asemthethweni, baya kwamkela ikopi yentsusa okanye eqinisekisiweyo yi-European Union Intellectual Property Office (i-EUIPO) okanye i-Internal Bureau ye-World Intellectual Property Organisation (WIPO).

Ngokwesiqhelo, inkqubo ithatha phakathi kweenyanga ezi-6 ukuya kwezi-12 kuxhomekeke kwimeko nganye.

Ukuhlaziywa kobhaliso lwentengiso yaseGibraltar

Ubhaliso lwentengiso eGibraltar lusebenza iminyaka eli-10 ukusukela kumhla wokufayilisha. Ubhaliso luyavuselelwa isithuba seminyaka eli-10. Kuya kufuneka sihambise apha eRejistri la maxwebhu alandelayo:

• Isaziso sokuhlaziya ngumnini obhalisiweyo (iFom 4).
• Isatifikethi esivela kuMgcini zincwadi zobhaliso e-UK sokuba uMarko woRhwebo uhlaziyiwe.

Emva koko, iSatifikethi sokuhlaziya siya kukhutshwa nguMgcini zincwadi zobhaliso.
