The National Service for Intellectual Property (SENAPI) of Bolivia unveiled the integration of digital signatures for administrative resolutions and concession titles pertaining to distinctive signs and patents. These documents will be delivered electronically via the Intellectual Property System (SIPI) directly to the email address provided during the application process.
The integration of digital signatures for administrative resolutions and concession titles pertaining to distinctive signs and patents marks a leap forward in the modernization of SENAPI. This initiative looks to heighten efficiency, legal certainty, and sustainability in the management of intellectual property processes across Bolivia.
Advantages of Digital Signatures:
-Streamlined Processes: Digital signatures obviate the need for physical visits to SENAPI offices, drastically reducing both time and expenses associated with procedural formalities. Enhanced -
-Efficiency and Sustainability: By minimizing paper usage, this transition fosters environmental conservation while promoting a more sustainable approach to public administration.
-Legal Assurance: Digital signatures offer ironclad authentication and document integrity, thereby providing heightened legal certainty to holders of industrial property rights.
Rafael Soto, the Executive Director General of SENAPI, underscored the nature of digital signatures as a foundational stride toward the comprehensive digitization of intellectual property processes. "In this 2024 administration, our aim is not only to simplify final resolutions but also to digitize the entire procedural landscape," he stated.
