CP6. Convergence on graphic representations of Designs
The objective of this project is to define a common practice for the graphic representation of a design which safeguards both the principle of legal certainty and the objective of having a flexible system of design registration available for users. The following four topics will be part of the scope (Neutral background, Disclaimers, Type of Views and a benchmark exercise on Format of Views).
The outcome of the project will be a new Common Practice that will be officially endorsed.
Following are the project deliverables:
- A document on the new Common Practice
- A document on the Common Communication informing on what IP Offices will implement and when.
- A document on the Communication Strategy: what are the target audiences, what channels should we use to reach them and what is our key message.
- A document on the Implementation Strategy: once the common practice is defined, what steps does an Office need to undertake in order to implement this common practice.
- An analysis on how to follow up on the continuity of the Common Practice: the market constantly evolves and therefore we will need to be able to assure that the Common Practice evolves along.
