This Law provides for amendments to Articles 37, 38, 109, and 136 of the Law on Patents, Utility Models and Industrial Designs, and is primarily designed to validate European patent applications and patents in Cambodia and to confer essentially the same protection as patents granted by the European Patent Office.
The amendment to Article 37 provides for the publication of patent applications, in addition to search and examination reports.
The amendment to Article 38 provides for the possibility that a foreign patent may be validated if it is considered beneficial to the interests of Cambodia.
The amendment to Article 109 provides for the recognition of industrial design applications pursuant to the Geneva Act of the Hague Agreement.
The amendment to Article 136 extends the exclusionary period of pharmaceutical products from patent protection from January 2016 to January 2033.
