17 May 2006
AMMAN - Abu-Ghazaleh Intellectual Property (AGIP) announced in a Wednesday press release that its Executive Director Charles Sha'ban and Executive Director of Abu-Ghazaleh Legal Samer Pharaon were accepted as members in Fédération Internationale des Conseils en Propriété Industrielle (FICPI) last month.
"Joining such prestigious organization will open new horizons of exchanging expertise and will help employ my experience in intellectual property for the interests of patent and trademark professionals worldwide," Pharaon said.
He added, "My participation in the coming FICPI World Congress held in Paris, May 22-26, 2006 will be a very interesting and fruitful experience."
Meanwhile, and according to a statement by FICPI President Francis Ahner, "The overarching theme of the Congress will be the quest for balance within all areas of Intellectual Property. Such balance is essential if Intellectual Property is to play its vital role as a driving force of the economy."
The Congress will highlight the following topics: balancing patents with economic development, balancing fair protection of inventions with a reasonable degree of certainty to third parties, balancing privacy law with IP laws, balancing IP rights with public policy as well as balancing the interests of all participants in the patent system.
FICPI members will be involved in providing professional counsel and input to governments, agencies and international organizations in the field of intellectual property as well as helping ensure that decisions made today fuel balanced development and growth.
The International Federation of Industrial Property Attorneys or FICPI, an acronym for Fédération Internationale des Conseils en Propriété Industrielle in French, is a non-political, international, professional body of intellectual property professionals, i.e. patent and trademark attorneys, in private practice, with members in 80 countries. FICPI was established on September 1, 1906 and is based in Basel, Switzerland.
