A diplomatic conference to finalize the Design Law Treaty will be conducted in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from November 11-22. The negotiations at the Riyadh diplomatic conference will be the culmination of years of discussions at the WIPO Standing Committee on Trademarks, Industrial Designs, and Geographical Indications. The provisions of the treaty will pertain to formalities associated with applications for the protection of industrial designs. Adoption of it may result in changes to requirements associated with filing these applications in the United States.
