AGIP Highlights Significance of Cautionary Notices to Protect IPRs in Afghanistan
22-Jun-2010
The cautionary notice is used as a tool to make public/consumer aware about the ownership of the IPRs and to be aware of any infringer or counterfeiter - Nambarath
KABUL - Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property (AGIP) would like to advise its clients that they can publish Cautionary Notices through AGIP Afghanistan Office which will help them protect their Intellectual property Rights (IPRs) when Patent Laws are implemented in the country.
Mr. Babu A. Nambarath, AGIP Operations Manager said: "The Cautionary Notice is used as a tool to make public/consumer aware about the ownership of the IPRs and to be aware of any infringer or counterfeiter."
"We advise all our clients to publish a Cautionary Notice in English in local newspaper(s) as the only way to protect and provide relatively a remedy for the absence of the IPRs-related legislation," he added.
According to Mr. Nambarath, the said Cautionary Notice could be a base for claiming priority right in future when the patent law comes into force in the country. For that reason, the publication should be in detail and not in a short form.
Early this year and due to the rapid and unprecedented expansion of AGIP globally, the firm opened a fully functional office in the Afghani capital, Kabul labeled by the Chairman and CEO of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Organization and AGIP, Mr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh as "an important growth area."
