Serbia: Patent

It seems that the promotional efforts of the Intellectual Property Office of Serbia have been effective. According to statistics from the IP Office for 2013, the number of trademark applications increased by 40%, the number of patent applications increased by 5% and industrial design applications increased by 42% compared to last year.

The largest German IP event in 2013 is the annual conference of the German Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property which gathered over 700 professionals from more than 30 states.

The new law was launched on 3 July 2013 and replaces the Law on protection of Topographies of Integrated Circuits.
