INTRODUCTION

With the flourishing of creative institutions and fine arts, comes the need for inherent protection of said ideas. This bill would propose an effective intellectual property framework that protects the implementation of one’s ideas in the market.

 

SECTION I: Definitions

1. Intellectual property shall be construed to laws to protect and enforce rights of the creators and owners of inventions. The different areas of intellectual property are as follows:
   1. Exclusive charter law shall be construed to law that protects the rights of creators in their works in fine arts and publishments. Such an example would protect things such as original artistic and literary works.
   2. Patent law shall be construed to law that grants protection for new inventions which can be products or designs and provides a mechanism for protection of the invention. The owner of said patent has the right to protect others from producing, using, distributing or importing the protected item.
   3. Branding law shall be construed to law that protects a word, phrase, or symbol that is used by an organization to identify its product or service.

 

SECTION II: Outlining IP 

1. On patent applications, applicants must submit the following for eligibility of said application:
   1. Title,
   2. References to any other similar inventions that exist,
   3. Description,
   4. Need for invention,
   5. Design,
   6. A final claim that will summarize the invention, what it is, and the specific uniqueness of said invention, which will be used in patent law to protect such invention,
2. Patents will have a set expiration date of 15 years,
3. On exclusive charter and branding applications, applicants must submit the following for eligibility of said application:
   1. Title or name,
   2. The unique description of a creator’s work or a creator’s trademark that makes it a distinct title,
   3. Design of a work (for exclusive charter applications)
4. Aforementioned applications will be handled by an agency under the Ministry of Civil Affairs in their discretion to approve, reject, or table IP applications.

 

SECTION III: Legality

Amending CH.303.06 - On The Intellectual

1. CH.303.06 currently reads
   1. 303.061 - The owner of a literary work may exploit and dispose of it at will.
2. This shall be amended to:
   1. 303.061 - The owner of an original work, as licensed as their own intellectual property, may exploit and dispose of it at will. The owner may license or sell the rights defined by the claims of the intellectual property.
   2. 303.062 - Where an individual reproduces, distributes, or shares copies or duplicates of a work or title that is exclusively chartered, patented, or branded, this shall be infringement by association in the second degree - an infraction.
