The reform, aimed at de-bureaucratizing the public sector and simplifying administrative procedures, through Law No 27.444 B. O, implied important amendments were introduced regarding trademarks, patents, and designs. Let’s take a look at some of its aspects:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LEY DE MARCAS<\/strong> Con la modificaci\u00f3n, el plazo para obtener el retiro de la oposici\u00f3n en forma amistosa se ha reducido de 12 a 3 meses y, de no llegarse a un acuerdo amistoso, ahora la Oficina de Marcas tendr\u00e1 autoridad suficiente para pronunciarse sobre el m\u00e9rito de las oposiciones presentadas, como en la mayor\u00eda de los pa\u00edses del mundo, y recurrir a los Tribunales s\u00f3lo ser\u00e1 necesario en etapa de apelaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Otro cambio importante en la Ley de Marcas es que hasta ahora, en Argentina la Ley de Marcas no permit\u00eda la cancelaci\u00f3n parcial de las marcas, lo que ahora ser\u00e1 posible. Esta cancelaci\u00f3n parcial estar\u00e1 disponible a partir del 12 de junio de 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Another important modification is the need to file an affidavit of use of the trademark within the fifth and sixth year of registration to maintain its validity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n LEY DE PATENTES<\/strong> El plazo para presentar la Solicitud de Examen se reduce de tres a\u00f1os a dieciocho meses, as\u00ed como el plazo para pagar dicho examen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Furthermore, regarding the Power of Attorney, under the previous regulations, it had to be filed together with the application; under the new decree, an affidavit of the Attorney will suffice unless the Patent Office requests otherwise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n DECRETO DE DIBUJOS Y MODELOS INDUSTRIALES<\/strong> Asimismo, se ha suprimido el requisito de presentaci\u00f3n de dibujos formales y se podr\u00e1n presentar fotograf\u00edas y\/o reproducciones electr\u00f3nicas de los Modelos y Dise\u00f1os; mientras que la descripci\u00f3n de los mismos no ser\u00e1 obligatoria, pero se aceptar\u00e1 si el solicitante lo estima conveniente.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Likewise, the number of images to be submitted has been reduced to a maximum of seven per design. Furthermore, it has been established that the descriptions of the designs are no longer compulsory, but the descriptions of each of the positional views will have to be accompanied by each of the images or formal drawings.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The reform, aimed at de-bureaucratizing the public sector and simplifying administrative procedures, through Law No 27.444 B.

The most important change in the Trademark Law is related to the Opposition System. Argentina was known for having an extremely slow, outdated, and detrimental to everyone’s interests (both trademark applicants and opponents) opposition system. It was a system in which the Trademark Office did not decide the opposition, but the opposition usually had to be finalized before the judges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
El cambio m\u00e1s importante a la Ley de Patentes, es que antes el Certificado de Derechos de Prioridad y la cesi\u00f3n del mismo deb\u00edan presentarse en un plazo de 90 d\u00edas, debidamente traducido, o se perd\u00eda la reivindicaci\u00f3n de derechos de prioridad. Este requisito se elimin\u00f3 y ahora el Certificado de Derechos de Prioridad y su cesi\u00f3n pueden solicitarse en el momento del Examen de la solicitud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En cuanto al registro de modelos y dise\u00f1os industriales, el cambio m\u00e1s importante es que ahora ser\u00e1 posible presentar m\u00faltiples solicitudes en una sola presentaci\u00f3n. Hasta 20 solicitudes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
