15 1 月 2016 ARIPO 专利、外观设计和商标取得了一些重大进展，包括自 2016 年 1 月 1 日起生效的费用增加。 这是 2015 年 11 月在赞比亚举行的 ARIPO 行政理事会会议的结果。 ### 专利和工业设计 ARIPO 专利、实用新型和工业品外观设计受《专利和工业品外观设计哈拉雷议定书》以及实施细则的管辖。两者均于 2015 年 11 月 17 日更新。 以下是最重要的更改和说明。 ### 议定书 ### 专利申请： - ARIPO 专利必须只涉及一项发明或一组发明 *“如此联系，以至于它们形成了一个单一的一般概念”*，并且必须以某种方式公开发明*足够清楚和完整以供本领域技术人员执行* – 第 2 条之二 (1)。 - 权利要求必须定义寻求保护的事项。索赔必须是 *'清晰简洁'* 和 '*由描述支持'* – 第 2 条之二 (2)。 - 摘要必须'*仅用作技术信息的来源”* 和 '*不是为了解释所寻求的保护范围'* – 第 2 条之二 (3)。 - ARIPO 专利申请必须做到以下几点：确定申请人；包含对发明的描述、一个或多个权利要求、必要时的附图、必要时的序列表和摘要；指定请求所针对的缔约国——第 3(1)(a) 节。 **生物材料：** 如果专利申请包含与生物材料相关的权利要求，并且要求使用公众无法获得且无法根据申请中的描述制造或获得的生物材料来实施发明，则生物材料在接受之前必须按照条例 - 第 3(1)(b) 节中的描述进行处理。 ### 条例 **序列表：** 应用程序必须包含 '*序列表，如果专利申请包含一个或多个核苷酸和/或氨基酸序列的公开内容'* – 规则 5(1)。 **分区应用： **申请人可以提交与任何未决的在先 ARIPO 专利申请相关的分案申请——规则 18 之二。 **扩展：** 如果申请人或所有人提出请求，登记官可以延长期限，前提是该请求符合“*规则的相关要求”。* 任何延期都将按照规定收取费用——规则 22。 **国际申请：** 如果向作为 PCT 受理局的 ARIPO 局提交国际申请，并且指定了同样受 PCT 约束的 ARIPO 缔约国，则将考虑国际检索报告以及国际初步审查报告– 规则 23。 ### 商标 ARIPO 商标受《班珠尔商标议定书》和实施条例管辖。该条例于2015年11月17日更新，并作出以下变更和澄清： **标记：** '的定义*标记' *已扩大到包括“*符号、名称、单词、设备、品牌、标题、级别签名、字母、数字或它们的组合*' - 规则1。 **规格：** 规格必须限制在 50 字以内。额外的单词将产生每单词 US$5 的附加费——规则 3.3 **电子归档：** - 将来可以以电子方式提交商标，但纸质提交仍将是一种选择——规则 5 之二 (1)。 - 该条例将适用于电子申请，就像它们适用于纸质申请一样，但是“*行政指示*'将被创建来处理有关电子申请的具体问题，例如接收确认、申请日期的分配和文件的签名——规则 5 之二 (2) 和 (3)。 - 任何成员国都没有义务接收或处理以电子方式提交的 ARIPO 申请，除非它已通知 ARIPO 局准备按照行政规程的规定这样做。但是，一旦这样做，它就不能拒绝处理以电子方式提交的申请——规则 5 之二 (4) 和 (5)。 **时间限制：** 申请人将有两个月的时间对通知其 ARIPO 申请已在特定州被拒绝的通知作出回应。相关国家将有两个月的时间来回应申请人的陈述。如果该国未能及时回应，ARIPO 将在该国进行商标注册——细则 11.3。 自 2016 年 1 月 1 日起，官方费用也发生了变化。 ### 请注意： 虽然 ARIPO 体系提供了在成员国获得专利和外观设计保护的有效机制，但我们不建议依赖 ARIPO 商标注册。应谨慎对待 ARIPO 商标注册。 [点击这里](https://www.spoor.com/africa-ip-expertise/aripo-trade-marks/) 了解更多详情。 如需更多信息，请联系我们 [info@spoor.co.uk](mailto:info@spoor.co.uk)
