The linkage system For many years, a usual complaint from patent owners of pharmaceutical products was that the Mexican FDA -Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios, better know by its acronym COFEPRIS- was encouraging patent infringement by issuing marketing authorizations for patent-infringing drugs. On 2003, the President amended the Reglamento de la Ley de la Propiedad Industrial or Rules of the Industrial Property Law and the Reglamento de Insumos para la Salud or Rules for Health Supplies to create a "link" between the Mexican Patent and Trademark Office (MPTO) and the Mexican FDA. According to the amended Rules of the Industrial Property Law, the MPTO must publish every six months an updated list of patented drugs, identified by the name of the active ingredient.

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

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
