Description
3.1
Background and justification:
IPR protection is globally important for companies operating in market economies. If a company
does not protect its innovation everyone is free to copy it and profit from it. Making entrepreneurs
and inventors aware of the importance of IPR protection is an important task in which the national
IP offices play a key role.
Over the last two decades the level of infringements, piracy and counterfeiting has increased
globally. These violations pose a serious threat to private companies and innovators whose
existence solely depends on the surplus they make through their innovation. In case this trend
continues it will pose a serious threat to the global economy. As protection of IPR only serves a
purpose if infringers are subsequently punished for their violations, it is vital, that a functional and
efficient enforcement infrastructure is in place.
In addition, counterfeiting of products such as pharmaceuticals or aircraft spare parts poses a major
risk to health and safety of their consumers/users.
The overall objective of this project is to enhance the level of protection of IPR in Montenegro to a
level similar to that which exists in the EU.
After gaining independence in September 2006, Montenegro officially applied for EU membership
in December 2008. In May 2010, the Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA) between
Montenegro and the EU entered into force and in December 2010 EU candidate status was granted
to Montenegro. With accession negotiations having started in June 2012, the need to align the
Montenegrin level of IPR protection to EU standards has become even more urgent.
The conclusion of the 2012 EU progress report is that; “some progress can be reported in the
area of intellectual property. Further efforts are needed to align with the acquis in this area
and to implement it effectively in the medium term. Overall, preparations are moderately
advanced.”
Furthermore, conclusions of the Screening report on Chapter 7 – Intellectual Property Rights
emphasise that "Montenegro has to strengthen its administrative capacity by providing more
specialised training courses and – in a longer perspective – employing more staff on IPR issues. IT
systems of several institutions (e.g. courts and market inspectorate) should be upgraded and relevant
databases established and made operational. The cooperation and exchange of information between
different institutions involved in the IPR enforcement should be formalised and occur on a more
Intellectual Property in Montenegro; A Strategic Approach – December 2011 p.25-26 (National IP Strategy for
Montenegro)

systematic and permanent basis." In addition, it mentions that "Montenegro still has to demonstrate
that it has the necessary administrative capacity to implement the acquis. The administrative
capacity in the area of copyright should be further strengthened, especially as regards the
understanding and practical implications of the copyright law provisions." A number of regulations
related to both industrial property rights and copyright and related neighbouring rights have been
adopted indicating that progress has already been made in order to align the Montenegrin legislation
to EU standards. However the legal framework on enforcement needs to be streamlined and
further aligned with the EU Acquis.
In regard to IP enforcement, the Government adopted the National Intellectual Property
Strategy 2012-2015 in December 2011, where one of the priorities is to enhance the
enforcement of IP in Montenegro. For obvious reasons, it is not sufficient to establish a
framework for IP protection if measures are not in place to subsequently enforce the IP rights
in situations where they are infringed. As resources in public sector are limited and the IP
active institutions (hereunder the courts and the enforcement agencies) have competing
priorities it is vital that cooperation and exchange of information/intelligence between these
institutions is optimized to increase efficiency and effectiveness.
Another important priority, according to the Strategy, is capacity building within the IP active
institutions. There is a need for enhanced capacity and new knowledge in the IP active
institutions in relation to IP enforcement and training of public officials in issues related to
IPR should be prioritized.
The Strategy also stresses the importance of promoting IP culture in society and the
importance of understanding the damaging effects of counterfeiting and piracy to society as a
whole.
The project presented below aims to target the following challenges:




3.2
Institution building and interagency cooperation on IP enforcement;
Legal alignment in relation to the enforcement code;
Capacity building on IP enforcement - targeting officials in IP active institutions; and
Awareness raising on IP.
Linked activities:
IPA National 2009; “Strengthening Intellectual and Industrial Property Policies in
Montenegro.” (2010-2012) Total Budget 450.000 € - Implemented by the EPO
Main objectives:
-
To complete the alignment of the Montenegrin IP legislation (laws and by-laws) to
European standards; and
To enhance the capacity of Intellectual Property Office of Montenegro (IPOM) staff through
on the job trainings and seminars.
The European Patent Office (EPO) has started installation of a database of patents which
will replace the Industrial Property Automation System (IPAS) module originally planned.
3
This database will improve workflow management and working procedures.
Improvements have also been made to the system of electronic archiving.
Cooperation with the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO)
Montenegro is a member of WIPO and have signed all relevant treaties and conventions
administered by this UN organisation.2 With support from WIPO a number of different
activities have been implemented in the later years and it is envisaged that further activities will
be supported by WIPO in the years to come.
Furthermore WIPO has assisted IPOM with the installation of IPAS. It will take one year to
complete this work. Efforts targeting improvements of workflow management and the
working procedures are postponed until the system is in place.
In 2011 WIPO has also supported Montenegro through:
3.3
Implementation of a national seminar on the Madrid system;
Participation of IPOM officials at the WIPO Intergovernmental Committee on Intellectual
Property (Generic Resources, Traditional Knowledge and Folklore);
Attendance of WIPO officials at selected conferences and committee meetings arranged by
WIPO; and
Participation of one IPOM official at an Interregional seminar on the Hague system
Results:
At the end of the project, the following results are expected to be achieved;




The interagency cooperation between the IP active institutions in Montenegro
enhanced via the introduction of a formalized model for cooperation;
The legal code related to IP enforcement has been assessed and aligned to EU
standards;
A minimum of 134 officials from IP active institutions obtains knowledge about IP
enforcement;
Selected officials from the IP active institutions gain knowledge of how to raise
awareness on counterfeiting and piracy in the general public and participate in
preparation of awareness materials.
3.4 Activities:
a) Project Planning and Coordination
2
The World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) is the United Nations agency dedicated to the use of intellectual
property (patents, copyright, trademarks, designs, etc.) as a means of stimulating innovation and creativity
4
In order for the primary stakeholders3 to get acquainted with each other and to make sure that
consensus is reached between EU Member State (MS) and Beneficiary Country (BC) management
regarding the detailed programming of the project it is important that the Project Leaders meet with
the primary stakeholders during the project. Three Steering Committee Meetings (SCM) are
envisaged during the lifetime of the project; one in month 1, one in month 4 and one in month 6 of
the project. It is expected that the task manager from the EUD will also attend the SCM’s.
Deliverables:
-
Agendas for the meetings
Minutes from the meetings
b) Institution Building
This component aims at assisting the BC institutions involved in developing an institution building
strategy and in outlining the different options for enhancing the cooperation between the
institutions. In Montenegro inter-institutional cooperation is still not fully formalised. The key
element of cooperation is enhancement of the exchange of intelligence, information and best
practice.
Activities:
-
Assess the level of interagency cooperation related to IP enforcement presently taking place
in Montenegro, hereunder the roles of the different stakeholders;
Issue recommendations on how to enhance the capacity of the IP active institutions in
Montenegro; and
Develop a formalized model for cooperation between the IP active institutions in
Montenegro.
Deliverables:
-
Report on the present level of cooperation between the IP active institutions;
Recommendations related to enhancing the capacity of the IP active institutions in
Montenegro; and
Formalized model for cooperation developed.
c) Legal Alignment
The alignment of the legal framework with the acquis is well advanced in Montenegro. The latest
Progress report from 2012 underlines however the importance of streamlining the enforcement code
with the EU acquis:
Activities:
3
Conduct a gap analysis of the existing legislation; and
Propose changes to the existing legislation which can be presented to the political level
please see the list of stakeholders under heading 4. Institutional Framework
5
Deliverables:
Report outlining the gaps in the existing legislation and containing proposals on how to align the
legislation to EU standards
To be noted: With regard to the Patent Legislation – which also needs to be revised - it is envisaged
that Montenegro will receive the required support from the EPO. It is therefore not included in the
scope of the present project.
d) Capacity building
The capacity building side of the project aims at enhancing the capacity of the Police, Customs,
Judges and prosecutors on issues related to IPR enforcement. Training on IP protection targeting
officials from the IP Office is also envisaged.
Activities:
-
Study tour to selected EU member state for 10 Montenegrin officials
Study visit for one copyright expert to selected EU member state
Two seminars targeting Police officials;
Two seminars targeting Customs officials;
Two seminars targeting Market Inspectors;
Two seminars targeting Judges and Prosecutors; and
Two seminars targeting officials from the IP Office.
Deliverables:
-
Two study visits conducted
Ten seminars conducted;
Training materials made available to participants; and
Short evaluation report submitted subsequent to each training session.
The trainings for enforcement officials will target an audience with none or limited knowledge on
the subject. As regards the seminars for officials from the IP Office they will primarily focus on
issues related to trademarks and designs, as patent related training will be provided you the EPO on
a bilateral basis.
e) Awareness Raising
Activities:
-
Two workshops for selected officials from the institutions involved in IP Awareness raising;
Development of awareness raising materials and campaign for the general public.
Deliverables:
-
Awareness raising materials and campaign developed in cooperation with selected
beneficiary representatives.

Institutional Framework
As the responsibilities related to protection and enforcement of IPR are embedded in different
branches of the Montenegrin central administration it is important that all IP active institutions
participate in the project. Thus a project like this is an interagency project targeting more than
one Montenegrin institution.
The institutions to be involved in the project are:
 Intellectual Property Office of Montenegro – Lead Partner;
 Ministry of Economy
 Ministry of Finance – Customs Administration;
 Ministry of Interior – Police;
 Market Inspectorate;
 Ministry of Justice/Prosecutors Office/Judicial Training Centre.
It is expected that each institution appoint an official that can represent the respective
institution at the Steering Committee Meetings scheduled for respectively month 1, month 4
and month 6 of the project. It is also expected that the EU Delegation is represented at the
SCM.
