Patentability of medical use claims in Vietnam has been debated for long time. At certain points of time, a number of Vietnamese patents were granted with medical use claims (first use or second use) following the practice at EPO. However, with the advent of the Code of Intellectual Property 2005, which came into force on July 1, 2006, the question again became hotly arguing. In applying the Code of Intellectual Property 2005, medical use claims, just like any other use claims, are rejected in Vietnam for failure to be either products or processes, and hence subject to exclusion from patent protection in the country. Patent applicants, especially those in pharmaceutical industries, and their patent agents choose to either: (1) convert the second medical use claims (Swiss type, as named
(Originally published at Russian Patents Blog ) This is to announce a new blog maintained by Patents from RU - http://technews.patentsfromru.com/
About half a year ago there was a question asked at LinkedIn:
“Is there a database available for Russian patent to get in English language?” I contributed to answers (along with 5 other colleagues), and we agreed what getting Russian patents in English is a tough matter. It seems that this very question arises over and over again - I keep seeing search queries like “translate document russian to english” in our website logs. In fact, we’ve been monitoring recently published Russian patents on regular basis - every new one gets downloaded and studied, and while we collect these anyways, I’ve decided to make English abstracts for these Russian

A nice overview by Suzanne Harrison of Gathering 2.0 about the way patent trading takes place. The presentation describes the steps of creating patent transactions.

On January 5, 2009, the Chamber specialized in intellectual property matters of the the Federal Court of Tax and Administrative Affairs (FCTAA) started working. The Mexican Patent and Trademark Office (MPTO) is the first instance in most IP matters (registration, administrative enforcement and validity of IP rights). For the second instance, the appellant has three alternatives available: (i) a petition for administrative review with a higher rank official of the MPTO itself (usually a waste of time); (ii) an amparo appeal with a Federal District Court; (iii) or an appeal with the FCTAA. The appeal with the FCTAA is the most usual. The tribunal colegiado de circuito or federal court of appeals will continue being the final instance. The FCTAA has jurisdiction to decide cases in a wide range

The marking of products or services that use industrial property rights (such as patents or registered trademarks), so third parties may be aware of the existence of such intangible assets, provides the right holders with certain benefits. The marking is not an actual obligation, given that failure to mark a product is not illegal by itself nor harms any third party's rights. Marking a product with the indication of an industrial property right may prevent or discourage third parties from infringing the intellectual property right associated to a product or service. If, in spite of the marking, a third party infringes the patent or trademark right, the measures available for the right holder are also stronger. There are certain rules about the marking of products provided in the Mexican
