The development of the intellectual property system is one of the priorities of the Government of Georgia. This also includes the introduction of modern standards and approaches—envisaged by both international and EU legislation into Georgian legislation. In this context, based on consultations with intellectual property experts, a draft amendment to the Law of Georgia on Designs has been developed, which is planned to be adopted in 2025.
These amendments aim to improve the legislative and institutional framework for designs in Georgia and harmonize it with EU legislation. As a result of these changes, the examination and legal protection of designs will be enhanced, and the powers of the Appeals Board—an entity under Sakpatenti that reviews disputes will be expanded. In addition, Sakpatenti will introduce a system of re-examination of designs, which will enable faster resolution of disputes regarding the invalidation of designs. This will help the parties avoid lengthy court proceedings and will contribute to the overall improvement of the design protection system.
Information on the following topics is desired:
