Dear Sir, -1 have to acknolege the reciept of your favor of Nov. 23. The banks, bankrupt law, manufactures, Spanish treaty are nothing. These are occurences which like waves in a storm will pass under the ship. But the Missouri question [i.e. whether to admit Missouri as a free or a slave-owning state] is a breaker on which we lose the Missouri country by revolt, and what more, God only knows. From the battle of Bunker s hill to the treaty of Paris we never had so ominous a question. It even damps the joy with which I hear of your high health, and welcomes to me the consequences of my want of it. I thank god that I shall not live to witness it s issue. Sed haec hactenus.

This lack of standards was resolved in the second half of the 19th centniy with the signatnre of the Meter Convention. This convention is a diplomatic treaty, which was signed in Paris (France) on 20 May 1875. This treaty establishes the International System of Units (SI) for the signatory countries. Currently 52 countries (all the major industrialized countries) have signed the treaty, and 36 countries are associate members. 

The procedure for obtaining a patent is typically started by filing a national patent application in a patent office of a country which is party to the Paris Convention (an international treaty agreeing certain reciprocal patent rights). This application can provide a so-called priority date for the invention disclosed in this priority application such that the patentability of the invention is assessed as of that date. This priority date can given to further patent applications filed in other Paris Convention territories provided that these further patent applications are filed within 12 months of the first priority application. A patent application must be filed before any public disclosure of the invention since, in most territories, public disclosures before the priority date can be used to attack the novelty and non-obviousness of an invention described in a patent application. 

The most important of these iprs conventions include the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (1967) the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works (1971) the Rome Convention (1961) and the Washington Treaty on ip in Respect of Integrated Circuits (1989). UPOV, initiated by a group of western European countries, is based on the International Convention for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants signed in Paris in 1961.

This is the short title for the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property. This treaty was first signed in Paris in 1883 by 11 countries and has been revised several times over the years. Today 157 countries have ratified this treaty.

The XV ATCM (1989, Paris) represented a real turning point for the protection of the Antarctic environment. The parties, in Recommendation XV. 1 prompted their governments to undertake as a priority objective the further elaboration, maintenance and effective implementation of a comprehensive system for the protection of the Antarctic environment and its dependent and associated ecosystems aimed at ensuring that human activity does not have an adverse impact on the Antarctic environment and its dependent or associated ecosystems or compromise the scientific, aesthetic or wilderness values of Antarctica . The parties asked that a Special Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting be held in 1990 to explore and discuss proposals relating to the comprehensive protection of the Antarctic environment. 

The first and most important of these treaties is the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property of 1883. The Convention allows an applicant to file a patent application in any of the Convention countries and then, no more than one year after the filing, to file corresponding patent applications in any, or all, of the other Convention countries and to claim the benefit of the filing date of said earlier patent application. 

In 1978, two treaties came into force which had a great impact on the world patent system unequalled since the Paris Convention of 1883. 

Having determined where to file, one faces the task of filing patent applications in the appropriate countries. International agreements have made this process much easier. Although it is possible to file separate patent applications in each of the countries selected, this procedure is rarely used. Rather, the procedures of various international intellectual property treaties can be used to simplify this administrative task considerably. The principal international treaty governing patents is the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (229), which has approximately 162 signatory member nations. A patent application filed in any member nation creates a priority date for applications filed within 12 months (i.e., the conventionyear) in other convention nations. Thus, an applicant...
