The expression "industrial designs" covers industrial designs and models= . Offices which issue design patents should report their design patent info= rmation activities in this series of Annual Technical Reports.
During 2005, the State Office of Industrial Property of the Republic of =
Macedonia received 797 industrial design applications (including national a=
nd international applications according Hague Agreement). The number of fil=
ed industrial design applications in 2005 has increased in comparison to 20=
04 by 30,0%. The increase of the number of filed industrial design applicat=
ions in 2005 is due to the increase of the number of industrial design appl=
ications filed by domestic and foreign applications according Hague Agreeme=
nt concerning the international registration of industrial designs.
During 2005, the State Office of Industrial Property registered a total of=
798 industrial designs, out of which 23 were domestic, 38 foreign industri=
al designs and 737 foreign industrial designs registered for the territory =
of the Republic of Macedonia. The total number of registered industrial des=
igns in 2005, compared with the previous year was increased by 38,3%. Of th=
e total number of foreign registration for industrial designs in 2005, Swit=
zerland holds the utmost part of 60,1%, followed by Germany (20,2%), then H=
olland (5,0%), France (4,4%), Italy (3,6%), while the rest of the countries=
participate with 6,7%.
According to the International Classification (Locarno Classification) the=
most of domestic registered industrial designs belong to the class 9 (65,0=
%) which refers to packaging and transport containers for the transportatio=
n of goods, followed by class 12 (6,7%) related to the means of transport o=
r hoisting, than class 25 (5,0%) building units and construction elements a=
nd other classes take up the rest of the share of 36,4%. For the foreign, t=
he highest position be-longs to the industrial designs of class 10 (46,0%) =
which refers to the clocks and watches and other measuring instruments, che=
cking and signalling instruments, followed by class 12 (10,3%) related to t=
he means of transport or hoisting; class 9 (6,4%) related to packaging and =
transport containers; class 23 (6,1%) related to fluid distribution equipme=
nt, sanitary, heating, ventilation and air-conditioning equipment, solid fu=
el; class 11 (4,5%) articles of adornment. The other classes account for 26=
,7% of the total number of registered industrial designs.
In 2005, 96 industrial designs certificates were issued, 18 decisions for =
different changes in the industrial design registry, it has rejected 9 appl=
ications for industrial design and 4 applications were refused.
State Office of Industrial Property of the Republic of Macedonia issues = the official gazette =E2=80=9CGlasnik=E2=80=9D. The Gazette is issued four = times yearly, every three months. This official gazette contains data conce= rning: industrial design applications, industrial design registration, rene= wals, change of data concerning industrial design owners, official decision= s, and information regarding other activities of the Office, in the country= and abroad. There are very often commentaries of actual activities in prot= ection of the industrial property rights. The Office issues Annual Report f= or its activities from the previous year.

This was the second consecutive year since the implementation of the IPA=
S software in the Office of both Trademarks and Patents and it is planned t=
