《印度尼西亚工业品外观设计法》修正案中的8项拟定修改 在过去五年中，印度尼西亚对保护工业品外观设计重要性的认识不断提高。 这一点可从工业品外观设计注册的申请量持续大幅增加看出。 该申请量从2017年的2319份增长到2019年的2835份，2021年再次跃升至2957份，并在2022年达到峰值，为3533份。 然而，由于商业和创意领域的不断发展，有必要对印度尼西亚共和国2000年关于工业品外观设计的第31号法律（《工业品外观设计法》）进行修改，以便更好地保护工业品外观设计，使其更符合当前的商业实践。 此外，这些拟定修改将与工业品外观设计方面的国际发展情况保持一致，并营造一种进一步鼓励创造和创新的氛围，将创造和创新作为知识产权制度的一部分。 为此，DGIP提出以下8（八）项主要修改： 1. 定义（第1条） 目前，《工业品外观设计法》第1条规定，工业品外观设计是指以三维或二维形式创造一种构型，或线条或颜色的组合，或线条和颜色，或前述各项的组合，给人以审美印象，能以三维或二维图案实现，并能用于生产产品、工业品或手工艺品。然而，在发展过程中，需要给出更精确和更坚决的定义，即工业品外观设计权所保护的客体是“产品的外观”，这种外观具有“审美印象”，可保护产品的全部或部分特征，可以是二维和/或三维的。 2. 保护制度（第2条） 目前，《工业品外观设计法》第2条规定，工业品外观设计只有经过注册程序后才能得到保护；但在新法案中，即使不经过注册程序，也可通过记录获得保护。 修改详情如下： 注册制度： 适用于具有相对较长设计周期的工业品外观设计； 保护期： 自收到之日起5（五）年； 根据《工业品外观设计法》第16条的规定，每5（五）年可续展2（二）次，但须缴纳相关费用。 备案制度： 适用于具有相对较短的设计或商业生命周期的工业品外观设计。 例如，纺织品需符合世界贸易组织（WTO）成员国商定的《与贸易有关的知识产权》（TRIPS）第25条的规定。 保护期： 根据《工业品外观设计法》第17条的规定，自首次公布之日起3（三）年。 根据《工业品外观设计法》第5（五）条规定的注册制度等保护规定，可以在首次公布之日起12（十二）个月内转为注册制度。 3. 不可注册外观设计 目前，不可注册工业品外观设计的规则由《工业品外观设计》第4（四）条规定，即如果工业品外观设计与适用的法律法规、公共秩序、宗教或道德相冲突，则不能提供权利。 然而，新法案中添加了更多规则，该条款改为第6（六）条。 满足以下条件之一的，即为不可注册工业品外观设计： a. 不具有审美印象； b. 创建设计特征时仅考虑技术功能； c. 以民俗或传统文化表达形式呈现，未经进一步发展或修改； d. 违反法律法规、公共秩序、宗教和/或道德的规定； e. 由具有不良意图的申请人提出。 ...
