The international IP community is moving toward further harmonizing legal protection for industrial designs through the Design Law Treaty (DLT) to simplify obtaining design rights worldwide.
The DLT is intended to benefit small and medium-sized enterprises by making it easier to obtain industrial design protection overseas through simplified procedures and requirements.
Negotiations for the DLT have faced challenges due to disagreements over requirements related to disclosing the origin of traditional knowledge and genetic resources in protectable designs.
