Huther fue Gerente de Finanzas de la Oficina de Patentes y Marcas Registradas de Estados Unidos, y tiene m\u00e1s de 35 a\u00f1os de experiencia en esa \u00e1rea.  En esta entrevista Huther cuenta a bUSiness CHILE la estrategia y los planes de la C\u00e1mara de Comercio de Estados Unidos en esta materia.  <\/p>\n<p><B>\u00bfPor qu\u00e9 se ha enfocado la C\u00e1mara en los derechos de propiedad intelectual?<\/B><\/p>\n<p>La comunidad empresarial tiene cada vez m\u00e1s conciencia de que la falsificaci\u00f3n y la pirater\u00eda est\u00e1n creciendo a una velocidad alarmante, afectando a los ingresos por ventas, los empleos y las entradas por concepto de impuestos en EE.UU.  Adem\u00e1s, la seguridad y la salud del pueblo estadounidense est\u00e1n corriendo peligro, debido a la importaci\u00f3n de imitaciones que van desde antibi\u00f3ticos contaminados, hasta repuestos para autom\u00f3viles inseguros. Estos productos constituyen un problema grave para nuestra econom\u00eda, nuestro bienestar general y, francamente, para el estado del mercado global.<\/p>\n<p><B>\u00bfY cada d\u00eda es peor?<\/B><\/p>\n<p>Hasta hace unos pocos a\u00f1os, el problema era la pirater\u00eda de productos que se ofrec\u00edan en las veredas, alrededor del mundo -relojes Rolex, carteras Gucci, etc.-, imitaciones que la persona promedio no consideraba un problema tan grave. Esta imitaci\u00f3n comprend\u00eda principalmente productos de vestuario o de lujo. Sin embargo, hoy d\u00eda el problema se ha extendido a toda la l\u00ednea de productos que uno pueda imaginar. No se trata exclusivamente de grabaciones o pel\u00edculas con \u00e9xito de taquilla; sino que est\u00e1 afectando a todo. Y tampoco est\u00e1 sucediendo s\u00f3lo en Estados Unidos, sino que en el mundo entero. Cuando se manejan cifras que indican que la actividad ilegal de falsificaci\u00f3n sobrepasa los USD 500 mil millones al a\u00f1o, ya no se trata del mismo problema que las personas percib\u00edan hace apenas cuatro o cinco a\u00f1os atr\u00e1s.<\/p>\n<p><B>Por consiguiente \u00bfqu\u00e9 acciones est\u00e1 adoptando la C\u00e1mara para combatir la falsificaci\u00f3n y pirater\u00eda de bienes?<\/B><\/p>\n<p>Nuestro primer paso fue formar una coalici\u00f3n y expandirla incorporando a organizaciones que no conoc\u00edan previamente nuestro trabajo. La coalici\u00f3n ha crecido desde 35 miembros, hace unos pocos meses, a 60 en la actualidad. Nuestros integrantes pertenecen a las actividades m\u00e1s diversas, desde fabricantes de comestibles hasta la industria cinematogr\u00e1fica. Pr\u00e1cticamente todas las \u00e1reas de negocio de la industria estadounidense est\u00e1n comenzando a estar representadas. Compa\u00f1\u00edas individuales tambi\u00e9n est\u00e1n expresando inter\u00e9s, desde firmas de abogados peque\u00f1as hasta grandes compa\u00f1\u00edas, como AOL TimeWarner o DuPont.<\/p>\n<p>Segundo, la C\u00e1mara ha desarrollado su propio plan de acci\u00f3n para centrarse estrat\u00e9gicamente en el problema, incluidas la educaci\u00f3n de los consumidores norteamericanos, el Congreso y los peque\u00f1os empresarios, para quienes la falsificaci\u00f3n y la pirater\u00eda representan una amenaza creciente. Estamos apoyando la legislaci\u00f3n que fortalece los derechos de propiedad intelectual, el control de su cumplimiento y la actualizaci\u00f3n del sistema de patentes de Estados Unidos.<\/p>\n<p><B>\u00bfQu\u00e9 reformas necesita la ley de patentes de Estados Unidos?<\/B><\/p>\n<p>Estados Unidos tiene un sistema bastante singular. Es el \u00fanico pa\u00eds del mundo que usa el principio \u201cprimero en inventar\u201d, a diferencia del principio \u201cprimero en patentar\u201d que existe en todo el resto del mundo. Cuando se est\u00e1n tratando de establecer tratados internacionales, con frecuencia se escuchan quejas en contra de este sistema, el cual es muy caro y de dif\u00edcil aplicaci\u00f3n, especialmente para los pa\u00edses en desarrollo.<\/p>\n<p>Si logramos eliminar este principio \u201cprimero en inventar\u201d, el cual conduce a muchos litigios de alto costo en Estados Unidos, y se crea un sistema m\u00e1s parecido al que tienen otros pa\u00edses, pero se mantiene la fuerza del sistema de EE.UU., entonces pensamos que ser\u00e1 posible establecer las bases para una mayor cooperaci\u00f3n en \u00e9ste y otros temas relacionados con las patentes, as\u00ed como para su cumplimiento.<!--:--><!--:en--><br \/>\n<!--break--><br \/>\nBrad Huther joined the U.S. Chamber of Commerce in January after the organization, which represents some three million U.S. businesses, identified intellectual property rights as one of its three priority issues for 2005. A former CFO of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Huther has more than 35 years\u2019 experience in the field and, in this interview, he talks to bUSiness CHILE about the U.S. Chamber\u2019s strategy and plans.  <\/p>\n<p><B>Why has the Chamber honed in on intellectual property rights?<\/B><\/p>\n<p>There is an increasing awareness in the business community that counterfeiting and piracy are growing at an alarming rate, affecting sales revenue, U.S. jobs and tax revenues. In addition, the safety and health of the American people are being challenged by the import of fakes that range from tainted antibiotics to unsafe automobile parts. These are a very serious problem for our economy, our general welfare and, frankly, for the status of the global marketplace. <\/p>\n<p><B>And it\u2019s getting worse?<\/B><\/p>\n<p>Until a few years ago, the problem was the knock-off goods you could see on sidewalks around the world &#8211; Rolex watches, Gucci bags or whatever &#8211; fakes that the average person did not see as much of an issue. This activity tended to be mostly in apparel or luxury goods, but now the problem extends to every product line you can imagine. It\u2019s not just the top blockbuster movies or recordings; it\u2019s affecting everything. And it\u2019s not just in the United States; it\u2019s happening all over the world. When you have numbers showing that illegal counterfeiting activity exceeds US$500 billion a year, it\u2019s no longer the kind of problem that people perceived just four or five years ago.<\/p>\n<p><B>So what action is the Chamber taking to combat counterfeiting and pirated goods?<\/B><\/p>\n<p>Our first step was to form a coalition and expand it by including organizations that were not previously aware of our work. The coalition has gone from having 35 members a couple of months ago to 60 now. And it\u2019s very diverse, ranging from grocery manufacturers to the motion picture industry. Virtually every facet of American business is beginning to be represented. Individual companies are also expressing an interest, from small legal offices to major corporations, like AOL TimeWarner or DuPont. <\/p>\n<p>Second, the Chamber has developed its own action plan to focus strategically on the problem. This includes ways we can educate American consumers, Congress and the small businesses community, to whom counterfeiting and piracy pose a growing threat. We are supporting legislation to strengthen intellectual property rights, to improve enforcement and to update the U.S. patent system. <\/p>\n<p><B>In what way does U.S. patent law need reforming?<\/B><\/p>\n<p>The United States has a very unique system. It\u2019s the only one in the world to use the first-to-invent principle, as opposed to the first-to-file principle that exists everywhere else in the world. When you\u2019re trying to reach international agreements, you often hear complaints about this system which is very expensive to penetrate, especially for developing countries. <\/p>\n<p>If we can eliminate this first-to-invent principle, which leads to a lot of very costly litigation in the United States, and create a system that looks more like those of other countries but retains the strength of the U.S. system, then we think it will be possible to lay a foundation for improved cooperation on other patent-related issues, such as enforcement.<!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!--:es-->Brad Huther se incorpor\u00f3 a la C\u00e1mara de Comercio de Estados Unidos en enero, despu\u00e9s de que la organizaci\u00f3n que representa a aproximadamente tres millones de empresarios estadounidenses identific\u00f3 los derechos de propiedad intelectual como uno de los tres temas prioritarios para el 2005.
