Invitation for Submissions on the Recommendations in the ACIP Report - Review of Trade Mark Enforcement
23 December 2004

In late 1999 the Hon Warren Entsch MP, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Industry, Tourism and Resources, asked ACIP to inquire into and report on issues relating to the enforcement of trade marks in Australia. In particular, the Parliamentary Secretary noted that Small to Medium Enterprises appeared to experience difficulties when seeking to enforce trade mark rights, suggesting that small business enterprises may be disadvantaged by the current system, when compared to larger business enterprises.

During this inquiry ACIP released a number of papers and held a series of focus groups. This culminated in May 2004 with the Parliamentary Secretary releasing the final report entitled "Review of.Trade Mark Enforcement". Further information about the inquiry and copies of the report can be obtained from the ACIP website at www.acip.gov.au

The Australian Government is currently considering its response to the recommendations in the ACIP report. To assist in the preparation of its response, the Government is seeking comments on these recommendations from interest groups, people who made submissions to ACIP or attended focus groups run by ACIP, and members of the public.

If you wish to provide written comments on these recommendations, they will need to be received by 18 February 2005. Submissions may be sent by mail or electronically to:

Ms Caroline McCarthy
Director
Legislation and Policy Development
IP Australia
PO Box 200
WODEN ACT 2606

email: Caroline.McCarthy@ipaustralia.gov.au.

ACIP Experimental Use Options Paper
14 December 2004

Following terms of reference from the Australian Government, the Advisory Council on Intellectual Property (ACIP) is conducting an inquiry into whether an experimental use exemption (or some other provision) in the Patents Act would benefit innovation in Australia.

Australian Official Journals for Patent and Trade Marks in PDF format now searchable
11 November 2004

From November 11, 2004 (Volume 18/Issue 44) IP Australia will be providing additional searchable PDF versions of the Australian Official Journal of Patents and the Australian Official Journal of Trade Marks. This will complement the existing searchable PDFs of the Supplement to the Australian Official Journal of Patents and the Australian Official Journal of Designs. The new searchable PDFs are being provided as IP Australia transitions from the printed paper copies of the Australian Official Journals ( Patents; Patents (Supplement); Trade Marks and Designs) to searchable PDFs only. Subscriptions to the paper version of these journals will not be available in 2005.

During the transition period, the paper journal will remain the official journal of the office. In the event of a discrepancy between the paper journal and the new electronic journal during the transition period, the paper journal will prevail. There will be minor formatting differences between the new electronic journals and the paper journals, owing to the different production processes, but the content will be materially the same. The transition period will be deemed as 11 November, 2004 to 31 January, 2005, with the last paper journal produced on 27 January, 2005. After the transition period, the new electronic journals will be the official journal of the office.

The new searchable PDF versions being provided during this transition period are clearly marked as such. If you have any queries, problems or suggestions regarding the new searchable PDF journals a Tip Sheet is available here or please call our Customer Service Network on (02) 6283 2999.

Review of the enforcement of trade marks
25 May 2004

ACIP's wide ranging review examined issues effecting the enforcement of trade marks in Australia. ACIP conducted a series of discussions with the business community (including both small and large businesses) in all capital cities, and subsequently developed an issues paper. ACIP also held public seminars in Perth, Sydney and Melbourne in April 2002 to consult with stakeholders on the issues paper. ACIP received a number of written comments regarding the review.

ACIP recently presented its report to the Government.

Federal Industry Parliamentary Secretary, Warren Entsch released the report on 25 May 2004. The report and media release are now available from the ACIP website or hard copies may be obtained by contacting the ACIP Secretariat kay.collins@ipaustralia.gov.au

Trade Mark Number 1 million allocated
6 May 2004

IP Australia has allocated trade mark number one million to an application submitted by Western Australian based company, Anchor Foods Pty Ltd. To mark the occasion, IP Australia will make a commemorative presentation to Mr David Clapin, Managing Director of Anchor Foods, the owner of the 1,000,000th trade mark issued by the office.

Anchor Foods is one of Australia's oldest food industry companies. It started as a general grocery trading enterprise in Adelaide in 1854 and today its ownership is retained by a private owner in Western Australia.

ACT Senator Gary Humphries congratulated Anchor Foods and IP Australia on behalf of the Australian Government, calling the event a landmark moment in the history of intellectual property protection in Australia.

"Intellectual property is very much the foundation stone of successful businesses, research and innovation throughout Australia," Senator Humphries said.

"The Australian Government believes that a strong and effective IP system promotes research and development through helping to protect and generate better returns from commercialising Australian ideas, our products and our services.

"The allocation of the one-millionth trade mark number by IP Australia serves to highlight the importance of having a robust and modern IP protection system; a system which I'm sure will continue to serve Australia well in the decades ahead," Senator Humphries said.

Co-incidentally, both the Anchor and Lion trade marks were filed on the first day of operation of the new Federal Trade Marks Office on 2 July 1906 and before that, the marks were registered with various state offices.

“The combined Anchor-Lion device, each with 150 years of continuous trading, represents a trade mark history which is totally unique in Australia" said Anchor Foods Managing Director, David Clapin.

"We maintain over 150 trade marks and are proud that our newest addition is a part of such a significant milestone".

IP Australia's Director General, Dr Ian Heath said this event was a momentous occasion for the organisation, and an appropriate milestone in IP Australia's centenary year.

"Businesses sometimes overlook the importance of protecting their intellectual property. Whether a trade mark, patent or registered design is the most appropriate option, protecting intellectual property is a vital step most successful organisations, like Anchor Foods, have taken."

"A trade mark can be a word, phrase, letter, number, sound, smell, shape, logo, picture, aspect of packaging or a combination of these used to identify a product. Anchor Foods' new trade mark is an example of a device, which combines two existing marks".

The new trade mark will be applied across Anchor Foods range of grocery product lines, which will be available in supermarkets across Australia.

The very first registered trade mark in Australia was for Peps, an elixir for coughs, colds and other ailments. Since then, IP Australia has registered trade marks depicting all manner of images, words and combinations. Some of these trade marks have become household names and their financial value illustrates the importance of protecting a brand.

Details: A presentation to Mr Clapin will take place at 11am on Friday 7 May at IP Australia, Discovery House, 47 Bowes St, Woden. Media interested in attending should contact Kylie Sladic, IP Australia on (02) 6283 2534.

Contact: For more information regarding this event, please contact Kylie Sladic on (02) 6283 2534.

Information on the New Designs Act now available
23 April 2004

Information on the new Designs Act is now available at:

http://www.ipaustralia.gov.au/new_designs/index.shtml

Changes to the Numbering Format of Designs
23 April 2004

For many years the Designs Office has issued and published Application and Registration Numbers of the following format:

Application	nnnnn/ccyy (eg 04321/2002)
Registration:	NNNNNN (eg 156,345)

Due to the implementation of the Designs Act 2003 (new Act) changes to the way in which the above numbering formats have been used will take effect as of 17 June 2004 in relation to designs applied for and registrations under the new Act.

The numbering system in relation to designs applied for and registrations under the Designs Act 2003 will continue the existing number formats, except that:

i) specific number ranges within current formats will be used; and
ii) there will be no Application Numbers, instead there will be Design Numbers.

Format:	nnnnn/ccyy	NNNNNN
Current Example:	Application 04321/2002	Registration 156,345
New Act Example:	Design 12345/2004	Registration 300,345

The 1 in the first position of the new act Design Number and the 3 in the first position of the Registration Number identify them as being under the new Act and are distinct from their counterparts under the Designs Act 1906 (current Act).

Applications and registrations under the current Act will continue to have their current number formats and ranges. Any design application under the current Act which is registered after 17 June 2004, unless it is converted to an application under the new Act, will be issued a design registration number from the current Registration Number range.

Due to provisions in the new Act relating to the filing of multiple designs within a single application, numbers previously used in reference to a design application will now be used in reference to a design, and be termed Design number. For a design application containing one design the Design Number will be the reference, for design applications containing multiple designs, each design will be allocated a separate Design Number.
