Before of IFIA General Assembly in Nuremberg 2004
The second period (presidency of Mr. Farag Moussa) of IFIA will stop in the next GA. IFIA
came to crisis. This crisis was shown by the resignation of IFIA President
and then his withdrawal in 2002. The inventors must stop the decline of IFIA! The reforming of IFIA is
necessary. According to our opinion the inventors organizations must widen
the IFIA’s direction and IFIA’s financial basis. The President did not take into consideration MAFE’s proposal in Seoul meeting, putting the discussion till the next IFIA GA. The
GA of IFIA will come soon.
MAFE

Idea of World Patent
The IFIA started a campaign for the world-wide patent system.You can read here the lecture of Mr. Farag Moussa (president of IFIA) on the anniversary of KEKE (Association of Finnish Inventors) about this field.
Here is the MAFE's opinion about the world patent.
Necessity of World Patent
The number of inhabitants on Earth is increasing exponentially, while the amount of available goods is continuously decreasing. Our main dissolving problem is supply. The sole ethical solution is the invention and unhindered commercialization of inventions. The production and trade are world-wide due to the globalization. A global company produces or sells patented goods only. Because of the costs (materials, production, marketing, taxes, etc.) are highs, the world-wide protection needs absolutely. The costs of the world-wide protection of an invention (patent fees and cost of patent attorney) are a lot of money and the system is complicated. These are arranged in accordance of pockets of monopolies. A great majority of inventions are invented by independent inventors. A smaller part of inventions ere created by inventors who are working at a company. The independent inventors can not pay the cost of world-wide protection, they can pay for one-country protection. For this reason their inventions will be common properties (without any patent protection) all over the world except for theirs native countries. An invention which is common property without patent protection will be no product only an example for the technology. The other results: due to the high costs many independent inventors keep in secret their inventions or create nothing. These are no interests of the mankind! The interest of the mankind is a simple and cheap world patent. The represents of progress who want this system are IFIA and others and the forces of backwardness are who want retain the present invention protection system as global monopolies, majority of patent attorneys and patent offices. The WIPO with his PCT system will be main allied power of the force of progress in this reason. Battle for the world patent will be hard and long because of the enemy is strong and rich. But we, inventors will be the winners since we invent anything they invent nothing! Dr. Andras VEDRES |
