Patent, trademark and copyright laws in English. |
In May 1998, the United States and Croatia signed a
comprehensive bilateral IPR agreement, which addresses patents (product and
process), copyrights and related rights, encrypted program-carrying satellite
signals, trademarks, semiconductor layout designs, trade secrets, industrial
designs, enforcement-specific procedural and remedial aspects of civil and
administrative procedures, provisional measures, and criminal
procedures/penalties. The Croatian government in June 2002 informed the U.S.
that it was not ready to submit the MOU for parliamentary ratification because
of doubts about the appropriateness of including data exclusivity protection in
the MOU. Current Croatia law allows a drug manufacturer, when registering a
generic drug, to use the existence of a submission of test data by another
company to fulfill registration requirements, in violation of the TRIPS
requirement to protect undisclosed test data from unfair commercial use. Croatia
was named to the Special 301 Watch List during April 2003 review. The bilateral
MOU has not entered into effect as of mid-2003.
Prior to entering the World Trade Organization (Croatia's membership
became effective as of November 2000), the Croatian Parliament adopted six laws
that have been in effect since January 1, 2000. They are:
-- Patent Law
-- Trademark Law
-- Industrial Design Law
-- Law on the Geographical Indications of Products and Services
-- Law on the Protection of Layout Design of Integrated Circuits
As a full WTO member, Croatia is considered to be party to the Uruguay
Round Agreement on Trade-Related Intellectual Property (TRIPS). In confirmation,
a WTO/TRIPS Working Group in June 2001 accepted Croatia's IPR legislation.
English-language texts of these laws are available on the Internet website of
the State Intellectual Property Office: www.dziv.hr.
Croatia is a member of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO).
For a list of international conventions to which Croatia is a signatory, consult
the State Intellectual Property Office's website noted above.
