关于专利法规（草案）的磋商会议顺利召开
2023年7月13日，位于内比都的磋商会议在商务部会议厅举行。
在磋商会议上，商务部副部长发表了开幕演讲。他表示知识产权领域对于国家商业生态系统的发展起着重要作用。为了增加外国投资、创造新的就业机会、加强贸易便利化和促进创新，缅甸在2019年颁布了商标法、工业设计法、专利法和版权法等四项知识产权法律。
然后，他介绍说专利法于2019年3月11日颁布，该法的目标是实现发明家和发明使用者之间的技术知识和社会经济福利的相互优势，促进国家生产力的发展，推动技术创新和传播以及技术转让，并鼓励创新环境。如果关于产品或者工艺的专利得到授予，专利持有人有权依据该法阻止他人在未经其同意的情况下制造、使用、销售或将该产品进口到该国，也有权在未经其同意的情况下使用该工艺或通过使用该工艺制造产品。此外，专利持有人有权以民事诉讼的方式起诉侵犯专利权的侵权者。
然后，他提到知识产权部（IPD）已起草实施专利法的专利法规。由于已收到相关部门和组织对草案规定的意见和建议，因此举行了这次磋商会议。此外，他表示，将根据会议的讨论和建议，对草案规定中必要的事项进行修改和补充，并按照程序确认这些规定的生效。
随后，知识产权部的总干事莫莫薇博士以幻灯片的形式解释了征求意见的专利法规草案的情况以及最终草案的准备工作。接着，受邀部门和组织的代表们对规定涉及的各自领域进行了讨论，随后会议圆满结束。
