摘要

WIPO Member States on March 28 adopted a new international treaty on trademarks. The new treaty, to be known as the Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trademarks in recognition of the country that hosted the final round of negotiations, provides simplified and internationally harmonized administrative rules for trademark registration, and creates a framework for defining the reproduction of non-visible marks, such as sound and smell marks.
