Draft chapters were prepared on some of these topics while on a fellowship at the Max Planck Institute on Patent, Copyright and Competition Law, in Munich, Germany, and while working as visiting professor at the World Intellectual Property Organization in Geneva, Switzerland. Research continued on these topics and work began on the Hague Agreement Revision, directing time and energy to that chapter's research. Resarch began on a chapter for Japanese law, which included several trips to participate in conferences in Japan and work with Japanese organizations and professors. A continuous flow of new information and contacts has been received in the research on this book. It is now the proper time to complete the book and have it available when the revised treaty is approved, probably in 1999, or as close to that time as possible. </FONT></P> <P><BR WP="BR1"> <BR WP="BR2"> </P> <P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">Continous development is occurring of the Fryer web site (http://www.fryer.com), devoted primarily to industrial design protection. The cost for this site and related equipments and software is paid entirely by Professor Fryer. A country by country listing of key industrial design protection publications has been started. A page has been started with an introduction and analysis of U.S. statutes on design patent protection. Two issues of a newsletter have been published, with information on new developments concerning industrial design protection. This web site functions as a worldwide focal point for research and distribution of information concerninng industrial design protection.</FONT></P> <P><BR WP="BR1"> <BR WP="BR2"> <BR WP="BR2"> <BR WP="BR1"> <BR WP="BR2"> </P> <P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">END OF DOCUMENT</FONT></P> <P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman">This page was last updated on October 9, 1998.</FONT></P> <P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"><A HREF="ws2tc1.htm">CONDITIONS OF USE</A> </FONT></P> <P><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"><A HREF="index.html">HOME </A></FONT></P> </BODY> </HTML>
