and Area of Practice |
Secured
interests in property are recognized and enforced, and mortgages are widely
used. The legal system effectively protects and facilitates the acquisition and
disposition of all property rights. Switzerland is a member of all major
international intellectual property rights conventions and was an active
supporter of a strong IPR text in the GATT Uruguay round negotiations.
Switzerland has one of the best regimes in the world for the protection of
intellectual property, and protection is afforded equally to foreign and
domestic rights holders.
Patent protection is very broad, and Swiss law provides rights to inventors that
are comparable to those available in the United States. Switzerland is a member
of both the European Patent Convention and the Patent Cooperation Treaty, making
it possible for inventors to file a single patent application in the United
States (or other PCT country, or any member of the European Patent Convention)
and receive protection in Switzerland. If filed in Switzerland, a patent
application must be made in one of the country's three official languages
(German, French, Italian) and must be accompanied by detailed specifications and
if necessary, by technical drawings. The duration of a patent is 20 years.
Patents are not renewable beyond the original 20-year term, but patent term
restoration is possible for products such as pharmaceuticals that require an
extensive testing period prior to marketing. According to the Swiss Patent Law
of 1954, as amended, the following items cannot be covered by patent protection:
surgical, therapy and diagnostic processes for application on humans and
animals; and inventions liable to disturb law and order and offend "good
morals." Nor are patents granted for species of plants and animals and
biological processes for their breeding. In virtually all other areas, coverage
is identical to that in the United States. Should an American firm have concerns
about possible patent infringement in Switzerland, access to the courts is
readily available and there is a well-established and highly regarded patent
bar.
The 1993 revision of copyright law improved a regime that was already quite
good. The law explicitly recognizes computer software as literary works and
establishes a remuneration scheme for private copying of audio and video works,
which distributes proceeds on the basis of national treatment. Owners of
television programming are fully protected and remunerated for rebroadcast and
satellite retransmission of their works, and rights holders have exclusive
rental rights. Collecting societies are well established. Infringement is
considered a criminal offense. The term of protection is life plus 70 years.
According to the Business Software Alliance (BSA), software piracy continues to
be a problem. This appears to be largely due to illegal copying by
individuals and some small and medium-sized establishments. However,
software piracy appears to have gone down in recent years. BSA estimates
that 32% of software in use during 2002 were not
legal
copies compared with 43% in 1996. Exports of pirated software are not seen
as significant. Industry sources estimate lost sales due to software
piracy at $103 million in 2002 (down from $77 million in 2001). This increase is
explained by rising software prices during 2002. Trade losses and denied
opportunities for sales and investment in all other IPR sectors are minor in
comparison.
Trademarks are also well protected. Switzerland recognizes well-known trademarks
and has established simple procedures to register and renew all marks. The
initial period of protection is 20 years. Service marks also enjoy full
protection. Trademark infringement is very rare in Switzerland -- street vendors
are relatively scarce, and even they tend to shy away from illegitimate or gray
market products.
The Swiss also protect layout designs of semiconductor integrated circuits,
