Israel’s Design Protection Law Goes Modern
Categories: IP
Israel’s laws for protection of intellectual property are quite modern by world standards. Its trademark ordinance was updated in 2010, its copyright law was updated in 2011, and its patent law was updated in 2014. On 7 August 2017, a completely new and ultramodern design protection law, which will become effective on 7 August 2018, was published after being approved by the Israeli parliament. Until then, registration and protection of designs will be according to the existing law, the original version of which dates back to 1924 (but which has been amended several times).
