Abstract

The Hague System is a system that offers thepossibilityofobtainingprotectionfor industrial designs in several states with a single international application filed with the International Bureau of WIPO. In such a system, lower cost and efficiency are seen as the biggest advantages as it unified the registration office, languages and accompanied by a single set of fees paid in one currency. However, some points of the system might be quite challenging for developing countries such as Indonesia – which plans to adopt the system into the amendment of current Industrial Design Law. This article aims to elaborate both the benefits and challenges a country will have tofacebyadoptingtheHagueSystem–in order to give out some insights to the Indonesia government and legislator before adopting the system into the revised Industrial Design Law.
