Cadrul legal al proprietății intelectuale în România
Drepturile de proprietate intelectuală sunt protejate în România prin legi speciale, iar înregistrarea drepturilor de proprietate industrială se face la OSIM (Oficiul de Stat pentru Invenții și Mărci) sau, la nivelul Uniunii, la EUIPO.
Acte normative aplicabile
- Legea nr. 84/1998
Mărcile și indicațiile geografice — înregistrare, drepturi conferite, opoziție și anulare.
- Legea nr. 64/1991
Brevetele de invenție.
- Legea nr. 8/1996
Dreptul de autor și drepturile conexe, inclusiv programele pentru calculator.
- Legea nr. 129/1992
Protecția desenelor și modelelor industriale.
- Regulamentul (UE) 2017/1001
Marca Uniunii Europene, cu efect unitar în toate statele membre.
Repere esențiale
- Marca
- Dreptul exclusiv asupra mărcii se dobândește prin înregistrare. Înregistrarea are o durată de 10 ani și poate fi reînnoită pentru perioade succesive de câte 10 ani.
- Brevetul
- Brevetul protejează o invenție nouă, inventivă și susceptibilă de aplicare industrială; durata maximă de protecție este de 20 de ani de la data depozitului.
- Dreptul de autor
- Dreptul de autor ia naștere prin simplul fapt al creării operei, fără înregistrare. Drepturile patrimoniale durează, ca regulă, toată viața autorului și 70 de ani după moartea acestuia.
- Apărarea drepturilor
- Titularul poate formula opoziție sau cerere de anulare la OSIM/EUIPO și poate solicita instanței încetarea încălcării și despăgubiri.
