حماية العلامة التجارية وفقا للاتفاقيات و المنظمات الدولية

Abstract EN

This study tackled the subject of trademark protection based on the conventions and international organizations.

the study problem resides in the fact that national and regional legislations were unable to ensure trademarks protection in case that they are extraterritorially violated.

that is due to the divergence of legislations from one country to another.

this study is vital because of the role trademark plays ; commercially, industrially and economically, constituting the link between many parties that involves the product, the trader, the service provider or the consumer.

the research aimed to ensure trademarks protection extraterritorially.

a descriptive and an analytical method have been used to conduct this research, besides a comparative method.

the study concluded that article (15 / 1) of trips agreement gave a thorough definition of trademark in goods and services alike.

the definition included protection of service trademark ; the one that is used to distinguish services provided by individuals and corporations in the domain of services, such as aviation, insurance and tourism.

registering a trademark internationally implies an obligation to protect it in all the member states in Madrid system.

hence, it does not require registering in each of the member states.

the study recommended that there is a need for attention to disseminate a culture of intellectual property via establishing associations which care about studying intellectual property, state its instrumental role on economy.

the study also recommended that intellectual property laws should be reviewed, as they are outdated and haven’t been amended.

thus, there is a need to be reintroduced into one group, under the name “law for the protection of intellectual property rights”, as the Egyptian legislator did, instead of having its provisions organized in dispersed laws.
