Amendment of the Intellectual Property Laws (Deadline for Appealing the Registrar's Decisions) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק לתיקון דיני הקניין הרוחני (מועד ערעור על החלטות הרשם)

TL;DRA proposal to move the setting of deadlines for appealing the registrar's decisions from primary legislation to regulations, to create uniformity across the various laws.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal amends four laws in the field of intellectual property: the Patents and Designs Ordinance, the Trade Marks Ordinance, the Designs Law and the Protection of Appellations of Origin and Geographical Indications Law. In order to create uniformity, the proposal deletes from primary legislation the setting of deadlines for filing an appeal against the registrar's decisions (today different deadlines are set in the various laws: 30 days in some of them, 45 days in other laws, and two months in the Patents Law). The new deadlines will be set in regulations to be set under each enactment, similar to the existing practice in the Patents Regulations.
