Z A K O N

O PRAVNOJ ZAŠTITI INDUSTRIJSKOG DIZAJNA

I. OSNOVNE ODREDBE
Predmet
Član 1
Ovim zakonom uređuje se način registracije i pravna zaštita industrijskog dizajna.
Definicija i dejstvo dizajna
Član 2
Industrijski dizajn je spoljni izgled proizvoda u cjelini ili dijela proizvoda koji proizilazi iz njegovih obilježja, naročito linija, kontura, boje, oblika, teksture i/ili materijala od koga je proizvod sačinjen i kojima je ukrašen (u daljem tekstu: dizajn).
Proizvodom iz stava 1 ovog člana smatra se industrijski ili zanatski proizvod, uključujući i djelove namijenjene uklapanju u složeni proizvod, pakovanje proizvoda, opremu, grafičke simbole i
tipografske oblike slova, osim računarskih programa.
Složenim proizvodom iz stava 2 ovog člana smatra se svaki proizvod koji je sastavljen od više djelova koji se mogu zamijeniti i koji omogućavaju rastavljanje i ponovno sastavljanje
proizvoda.
Dejstvo u Crnoj Gori imaju i dizajni koji su registrovani kod Međunarodnog Biroa Svjetske
Organizacije za intelektualnu svojinu u skladu sa Haškim sporazumom o međunarodnom prijavljivanju uzoraka i modela ( u daljem tekstu: Haški sporazum).
Ravnopravnost stranih i domaćih lica
Član 3
Strana pravna i fizička lica, u pogledu registracije i pravne zaštite dizajna u Crnoj Gori, uživaju ista prava kao i domaća pravna i fizička lica, ako to proizilazi iz potvrđenih međunarodnih ugovora ili načela uzajamnosti.
Postojanje uzajamnosti iz stava 1 ovog člana dokazuje lice koje se na uzajamnost poziva. Strano pravno i fizičko lice u postupku pred nadležnim organom zastupa pravno i fizičko
lice (u daljem tekstu: zastupnik) koje je upisano u Registar zastupnika koji vodi organ uprave nadležan za intelektualnu svojinu (u daljem tekstu: nadležni organ) ili advokat koji je upisan u imenik Advokatske komore Crne Gore.

II. USLOVI ZA REGISTRACIJU DIZAJNA
Uslovi za zaštitu dizajna
Član 4
Dizajn se može zaštititi ako je nov i ako je individualnog karaktera.
Dizajn koji je primijenjen na proizvod ili sadržan u proizvodu koji čini sastavni dio složenog proizvoda smatra se novim i individualnog karaktera samo ako sastavni dio proizvoda, nakon što je ugrađen u složeni proizvod, ostaje vidljiv pri normalnoj upotrebi tog proizvoda i ako vidljiva obilježja sastavnog dijela proizvoda samostalno ispunjavaju uslove novosti i individualnosti karaktera.
Normalnom upotrebom iz stava 2 ovog člana smatra se upotreba od strane krajnjeg korisnika proizvoda, koja ne uključuje održavanje, servisiranje ili popravku proizvoda.
Novost dizajna
Član 5
Dizajn se smatra novim ako nijedan istovjetni dizajn nije postao dostupan javnosti prije datuma podnošenja prijave za registraciju dizajna (u daljem tekstu: prijava) ili ako je zatraženo
pravo prvenstva prije datuma priznatog prvenstva.
Dizajn se smatra istovjetnim ako se njegova obilježja razlikuju samo u nebitnim pojedinostima.
Individualni karakter dizajna
Član 6
Dizajn ima individualni karakter ako se ukupni utisak koji ostavlja na informisanog korisnika razlikuje od ukupnog utiska koji na tog korisnika ostavlja bilo koji dizajn koji je bio
učinjen dostupnim javnosti prije datuma podnošenja prijave ili ako je zatraženo pravo prvenstva
prije datuma priznatog prvenstva.
Prilikom utvrđivanja individualnog karaktera dizajna uzima se u obzir stepen slobode koju je autor dizajna ( u daljem tekstu: dizajner) imao pri stvaranju dizajna.
Dostupnost javnosti
Član 7
Smatra se da je dizajn postao dostupan javnosti, u smislu čl. 5 i 6 ovog zakona, ako je objavljen putem registracije ili na drugi način, izložen ili korišćen u prometu ili otkriven drugim radnjama, osim ako te radnje iz razumnih razloga nijesu mogle biti poznate u uobičajenom poslovanju u poslovnim krugovima specijalizovanim za datu oblast u Crnoj Gori, prije datuma podnošenja prijave ili ako je zatraženo pravo prvenstva prije datuma priznatog prvenstva.
Ne smatra se da je dizajn postao dostupnim javnosti, u smislu stava 1 ovog člana, ukoliko je otkriven drugom licu pod uslovom čuvanja tajnosti dizajna.
Ne smatra se da je dizajn postao dostupan javnosti, u smislu čl. 5 i 6 ovog zakona, ako
dizajn otkrije autor, onosno njegov pravni sljedbenik ili treće lice na osnovu informacije dobijene od autora ili njegovog pravnog sljedbenika, ili radnje koju je jedan od njih preduzeo, pod uslovom da je od trenutka kada je dizajn otkriven do trenutka podnošenja prijave, odnosno do trenutka za-
-3-
traženog prava prvenstva proteklo manje od godinu dana, ako je dizajn postao dostupan javnosti kao posljedica zloupotrebe vezane za autora ili njegovog pravnog sljedbenika.
Registar dizajna i Službeno glasilo
Član 8
Registar dizajna (u daljem tekstu: Registar) i evidenciju prijava vodi nadležni organ.
Registar iz stava 1 ovog člana, naročito, sadrži: podatke o nosiocu dizajna, registarski broj dizajna, datum podnošenja prijave, zatraženo pravo prvenstva, datum objavljivanja prijave, datum
registracije dizajna, promjene, datum upisa u Registar, podatke o međunarodnoj registraciji,
podatke o obnovi zaštite dizajna i datum prestanka važenja zaštite dizajna.
Evidencija prijava iz stava 1 ovog člana, naročito, sadrži podatke iz člana 25 stav 1 ovog zakona.
Izvod iz Registra i uvjerenje o važenju dizajna izdaje nadležni organ na zahtjev zainteresovanog lica, nakon uplate propisane administrativne takse.
Podaci iz Registra objavljuju se u Službenom glasilu koje izdaje nadležni organ.
Bližu sadržinu i način vođenja Registra i evidencije prijava iz stava 1 ovog člana propisuje organ državne uprave nadležan za intelektualnu svojinu (u daljem tekstu: Ministarstvo).
Odnos sa drugim zakonima
Član 9
U postupku registracije i zaštite dizajna primjenjuju se odredbe zakona kojim je uređen opšti upravni postupak, ako ovim zakonom nije drukčije uređeno.
Protiv rješenja nadležnog organa može se izjaviti žalba Ministarstvu.
U postupku pred nadležnim organom plaćaju se administrativne takse u skladu sa zakonom kojim su uređene administrativne takse, naknade posebnih troškova postupka i naknade
troškova za pružanje informacionih usluga.
Visinu naknada posebnih troškova postupka i naknada troškova za pružanje informacionih usluga utvrđuje Vlada Crne Gore (u daljem tekstu: Vlada).
Isključenje zaštite zbog tehničke funkcije
Član 10
Dizajnom se ne može zaštititi spoljašnji izgled proizvoda koji je isključivo određen tehničkom funkcijom proizvoda.
Dizajnom se ne može zaštiti spoljašnji izgled prozvoda koji mora da bude reprodukovan u
svom tačnom obliku i dimenzijama, kako bi se omogućilo da bude mehanički povezan sa, ili postavljen u, oko ili uz drugi proizvod tako da svaki proizvod može da obavlja svoju funkciju.
Izuzetno od stava 2 ovog člana, pod uslovima iz čl.5 i 6 ovog zakona, može se zaštititi
dizajn koji omogućava višestruko sastavljanje ili povezivanje međusobno zamjenjivih proizvoda u modularnom sistemu.
Isključenje zaštite dizajna
Ne može se zaštititi dizajn:
Član 11
1) koji je protivan javnom interesu ili prihvaćenim moralnim normama;
2) koji ne ispunjava uslove iz čl. 2, 4, 5, 6 i 7 ovog zakona;
-4-
3) ako podnosilac prijave ili nosilac dizajna nije ovlašćen za sticanje dizajna po ovom zakonu;
4) ako je dizajn istovjetan s ranijim dizajnom koji je učinjen dostupnim javnosti nakon datuma podnošenja prijave ili ako je zatraženo pravo prvenstva, nakon datuma priznatog prvenstva i koji je ranijeg datuma registrovan u Crnoj Gori ili za koji je podnijeta prijava;
5) ako je u stvaranju dizajna korišćen znak za razlikovanje roba ili usluga, a nosilac ranijeg prava je imao pravo da zabrani takvu upotrebu;
6) koji obuhvata znakove, simbole, bedževe i štitove i slično iz člana 6bis Pariske konvencije za zaštitu industrijske svojine (u daljem tekstu: Pariska konvencija) i koji sadrži državni grb, zastavu ili simbol, naziv ili skraćenicu naziva neke države ili međunarodne organizacije,
religiozne ili nacionalne simbole, ili njihovo podražavanje.
Pravo dizajnera
Član 12
Pravo na zaštitu dizajna pripada dizajneru ili njegovom pravnom sljedbeniku.
Lice koje je u stvaranju dizajna pružalo samo tehničku pomoć ne smatra se dizajnerom. Ako su dva ili više lica zajednički stvorili dizajn, pravo na zaštitu pripada svim dizajnerima.
Ako je dizajn stvorilo lice vršeći redovne radne obaveze ili postupajući po nalogu i uputstvima poslodavca, poslodavac ima pravo da podnese prijavu, ako ugovorom nije drukčije
određeno.
Naznačenje dizajnera
Član 13
Dizajner ima pravo da bude naveden na svim dokumentima u postupku registracije i u
Registru kao dizajner, na isti način kao podnosilac prijave, odnosno nosilac dizajna.
Ako je u stvaranju dizajna učestvovalo više lica ili tim dizajnera, pravo iz stava 1 ovog člana pripada svim dizajnerima pojedinačno ili timu dizajnera.
III. OBIM I OGRANIČENJA PRAVA
Obim prava
Član 14
Obim zaštite registrovanog dizajna obuhvata spoljni izgled proizvoda, odnosno utisak koji ostavlja na informisanog korisnika, a koji se razlikuje od utiska koji na tog korisnika ostavlja bilo koji drugi dizajn.
Prilikom utvrđivanja obima prava na dizajn u slučaju spora sud će uzeti u obzir slobodu autora prilikom stvaranja dizajna, u smislu člana 6 stav 2 ovog zakona.
Isključiva prava
Član 15
Nosilac dizajna ima isključivo pravo da koristi registrovani dizajn i zabrani drugom licu da koristi dizajn bez njegovog odobrenja.
-5-
Korišćenje iz stava 1 ovog člana obuhvata: izradu, ponudu, stavljanje u promet, uvoz, izvoz ili korišćenje proizvoda u kojem je dizajn sadržan ili na koji je dizajn primijenjen ili skladištenje tog proizvoda u te svrhe.
Ako je objavljivanje registrovanog dizajna odloženo u skladu sa članom 35 ovog zakona, nosilac dizajna ima pravo da zabrani drugim licima preduzimanje radnji iz stava 2 ovog člana, ako
se tim radnjama vrši kopiranje registrovanog dizajna.
Ograničenje isključivih prava
Član 16
Nosilac dizajna ne može da zabrani drugom licu radnje:
1) učinjene u privatne, nekomercijalne i eksperimentalne svrhe;
2) reprodukovanja, preduzete u svrhu citiranja ili obrazovanja, pod uslovom da su takve radnje u skladu sa dobrim poslovnim običajima i neopravdano se ne nanosi šteta uobičajenoj upotrebi dizajna i ako je navedeno odakle je dizajn preuzet.
Isključiva prava na dizajn ne odnose se na:
1) opremu brodova i vazduhoplova koju čine predmeti proizvedeni na osnovu registrovanog dizajna koji služe isključivo za potrebe funkcionisanja brodova, odnosno vazduhoplova registrova-
nih u drugoj državi, kada oni privremeno borave na teritoriji Crne Gore;
2) uvoz rezervnih djelova i pribora u Crnu Goru radi popravke brodova i vazduhoplova.
Prethodna upotreba dizajna
Član 17
Pravo prethodne upotrebe dizajna ima lice koje dokaže da je prije datuma podnošenja prijave ili prije datuma priznatog prvenstva, ako je zatraženo na području Crne Gore, u dobroj
namjeri otpočelo korišćenje u proizvodnji, ili je izvršilo neophodne pripreme za otpočinjanje korišćenja dizajna uključenog u obim zaštite, ako taj dizajn nije nastao kopiranjem zaštićenog

dizajna.
Na osnovu prava prethodne upotrebe drugo lice može da koristi dizajn samo u svrhe za koje je otpočelo korišćenje dizajna u proizvodnji ili u svrhe obavljanja neophodnih priprema za
otpočinjanje korišćenja dizajna prije datuma podnošenja prijave ili prije datuma priznatog prvenstva, ako je prvenstvo zatraženo.
Lice koje ima pravo prethodne upotrebe dizajna ne može ugovorom o licenci ustupiti pravo
na korišćenje dizajna.
Pravo prethodne upotrebe ne može se prenositi, osim ako se zajedno sa pravom prethodne upotrebe prenosi i privredno društvo, dio privrednog društva, poslovna jedinica (radionica),
odnosno ogranak u kome je pripremljeno, odnosno otpočelo korišćenje dizajna, u skladu sa
stavom 1 ovog člana.
Iscrpljenje prava
Član 18
Ako je nosilac prava na dizajn u Crnoj Gori stavio u promet proizvod koji sadrži zaštićeni dizajn, odnosno proizvod koji je oblikovan prema zaštićenom dizajnu ili ako je nosilac prava na
dizajn ovlastio neko lice u Crnoj Gori da takav proizvod stavi u promet, nema pravo da zabrani
drugim licima dalje raspolaganje tim proizvodom kupljenim u legalnim tokovima prometa.
-6-
Iscrpljenje prava iz stava 1 ovog člana ne primijenjuje se u slučaju postojanja interesa nosioca prava na dizajn da se suprostavi daljem stavljanju u promet proizvoda koji sadrži zaštićeni dizajn ili je oblikovan prema zastićenom dizajnu, ako je u međuvremenu došlo do kvara ili druge promjene svojstava proizvoda.
Iscrpljenje prava iz stava 1 ovog člana može se proširiti van Crne Gore, u skladu sa potvrđenim međunarodnim ugovorima.
Odnos prema drugim oblicima zaštite
Član 19
Odredbe ovog zakona ne utiču na postojeća prava koja se odnose na žigove ili druge znakove razlikovanja, neregistrovane dizajne, tipografije, patente i propise koji uređuju građanskopravnu zaštitu ili zaštitu konkurencije.
Autorsko pravna zaštita dizajna
Član 20
Registrovani dizajn može uživati zaštitu u skladu sa zakonom kojim se uređuje autorsko pravo, od datuma njegovog stvaranja ili fiksiranja u bilo kom obliku.

uređuje zaloga.
Bliži sadržaj zahtjeva iz stava 2 ovog člana i dokumentacije koja se prilaže uz zahtjev utvrđuje se propisom Ministarstva.
V. POSTUPAK REGISTRACIJE DIZAJNA
Pokretanje postupka za registraciju dizajna
Član 24
Postupak za registraciju dizajna pokreće se podnošenjem prijave nadležnom organu. Izmjene u prijavi mogu se vršiti na zahtjev podnosioca prijave ili po službenoj dužnosti
samo u slučajevima kad je potrebno izvršiti ispravku imena ili adrese podnosioca prijave, ispravku
greške u tekstu ili prepisu, pod uslovom da izmjene ne utiču na proširenje obima zaštite.
Podnosilac prijave može u toku cijelog postupka odustati od prijave u cjelini ili djelimično, o čemu nadležni organ donosi zaključak.
Prijava i dokumentacija za registraciju dizajna ne smiju biti dostupni javnosti do datuma objavljivanja dizajna bez saglasnosti podnosioca prijave.
Sadržaj prijave
Prijava sadrži:
1) zahtjev za registraciju dizajna;
2) podatke o podnosiocu prijave;
Član 25
3) prikaz dizajna (izgled) koji je pogodan za reprodukovanje;
4) naznaku proizvoda u kojem će dizajn biti sadržan ili na koji će se dizajn primjenjivati;
5) podatke o ovlašćenom zastupniku ako podnosilac prijave ima zastupnika;
6) podatke o zajedničkom predstavniku ako je podnijeta zajednička prijava.
Ako je predmet prijave dvodimenzionalni dizajn i ako prijava sadrži zahtjev za odlaganje objavljivanja u skladu sa članom 35 ovog zakona, prikaz dizajna iz stava 1 tačka 3 ovog člana može biti nadomješten uzorkom.
Pored podataka iz stava 1 ovog člana prijava može da sadrži:
1) opis izgleda ili uzorka proizvoda;
2) zahtjev za odlaganje objavljivanja registrovanog dizajna iz člana 35 ovog zakona;
-8-
3) klasifikaciju proizvoda po Lokarnskom sporazumu o ustanovljenju međunarodne klasifikacije za industrijski dizajn (u daljem tekstu: Međunarodna klasifikacija);
4) podatke o dizajneru ili timu dizajnera, odnosno izjavu da dizajner, odnosno tim dizajnera ne želi da bude naveden u prijavi;
5) podatke o pravu prvenstva iz čl. 29 i 30 ovog zakona.
Na prijavu koja sadrži elemente iz stava 1 tač. 1, 2 i 3 ovog člana unosi se datum podnošenja prijave i upisuje se u evidenciju prijava.
Ako prijava ne sadrži elemente iz stava 4 ovog člana, nadležni organ obavještava podno-
sioca prijave da, u roku od 60 dana od dana prijema obavještenja, otkloni utvrđene nedostatke.
Ako podnosilac prijave u roku iz stava 5 ovog člana otkloni nedostatke, nadležni organ zaključkom priznaje kao datum podnošenja prijave datum kada je podnosilac prijave otklonio
uočene nedostatke.
Ako podnosilac prijave u roku iz stava 5 ovog člana ne uredi prijavu, smatraće se da je prijava povučena, o čemu nadležni organ donosi zaključak.
Na zahtjev podnosioca prijave rok iz stava 5 ovog člana može se produžiti najviše za 60
dana.
Ako je podnesena višestruka prijava nadležni organ ispituje da li prijava ispunjava uslove iz
stava 4 ovog člana i čl. 26 i 27 ovog zakona.
Uz prijavu se dostavlja i dokaz o plaćenoj administrativnoj taksi. Bliži sadržaj zahtjeva i prijave utvrđuje se propisom Ministarstva.
Višestruka prijava
Član 26
Ako prijava sadrži zahtjev za registraciju više dizajna (u daljem tekstu: višestruka prijava), svi proizvodi u kojima dizajn treba da bude sadržan ili na koje će se dizajn primijenjivati moraju se klasifikovati u istu klasu proizvoda po Međunarodnoj klasifikaciji.
U višestruku prijavu unosi se se ukupan broj dizajna za koje se zahtijeva registracija.
Sa svim dizajnima iz višestruke prijave i nakon registracije može se postupati odvojeno. Izdvojeni dizajn može biti predmet ostvarivanja prava, predmet ugovora o licenci, predmet
zaloge i prinudnog izvršenja, stečaja, odricanja, produženja zaštite, prenosa prava, odlaganja
objavljivanja ili proglašavanja ništavim.
Razdvajanje višestruke prijave
Član 27
Podnosilac prijave koja sadrži zahtjev za priznavanje prava na više dizajna može da podnese zahtjev za razdvajanje višestruke prijave na više pojedinačnih ili višestrukih izdvojenih
prijava.
Svaka od izdvojenih prijava iz stava 1 ovog člana dobija novi broj prijave i zavodi se u evidenciju prijava i zadržava datum podnošenja i pravo prvenstva prvobitne višestruke prijave.
O razdvajanju prijave donosi se rješenje, u kome se naznačava broj, odnosno brojevi novih
prijava, dizajni koji ostaju u prvobitnoj višestrukoj prijavi i dizajni koji su u izdvojenoj ili izdvojenim prijavama.
Bliži sadržaj zahtjeva iz stava 1 ovog člana i dokumentacije koja se prilaže uz zahtjev
utvrđuje Ministarstvo.
