Iifayile ze-IP ziya kuqwalaselwa ngeNkqubo yoLawulo oluHlanganisiweyo lwe-Anti-Counterfeiting (AIMS).Oku kuthetha ukuba ukususela ngaloo mhla, nabani na ongenisa iimpahla kunye nabanini bamalungelo epropathi enomgangatho ophezulu wokuqonda kufuneka afake irekhodi kwi-ACA malunga namalungelo anjalo.

Nokuba zivela phi na iimpahla, zonke iinkampani kufuneka zibhale phantsi amalungelo epropathi enomgangatho ophezulu wokuqonda wempahla enegama elivela kumazwe angaphandle.Iimveliso ezingagqitywanga kunye nemathiriyeli ekrwada engafakwanga uphawu azixolelwa.Abaphuli mthetho baya kuba kulwaphulo-mthetho, ohlwaywa ngezohlwayo kunye nokuvalelwa entolongweni ukuya kutsho kwiminyaka eli-15.

Ukuba irekhodi ye-IP iphumelele, i-ACA iya kukhupha uphawu lwesatifikethi ngendlela yesixhobo esichasene ne-counterfeiting.I-ACA inokubamba kwaye itshabalalise ukuthengiswa ukuba ifunyenwe ingenaso isixhobo esichasene nenkohliso.

Umrhumo osemthethweni werekhodi ye-IP yi-$ 90 yeklasi yokuqala kunye ne-$ 10 kwiklasi nganye elandelayo ye-trademark okanye uyilo lwamashishini.Iindidi ze-IP ngaphandle kweeklasi ezininzi zi-$ 90 into nganye.Iirekhodi ze-IP ziya kuqhutyelwa phambili ngeNkqubo yoLawulo oluHlangeneyo loLawulo lokuThintela umgunyathi (AIMS).Ukongeza kwirekhodi, i-AIMS iya kubonelela ngeenkonzo ezinjengokuhlaziywa kweefayili, utshintsho lweenkcukacha, ukubuyiswa kwedatha yokufayilisha, kunye nokuququzelela ukubhaliswa kwe-arhente.Iphothali ye-AIMS iyafikeleleka kuwo onke amaqela anje ngabanini be-IP kunye nee-arhente zabo, abathengi, abarhwebi, nabarhanelwa kumatyala enkohliso.

Nayiphi na irekhodi epheleleyo kwinkqubo ye-AIMS isemthethweni kangangeenyanga ezili-12 kwaye iya kuhlolwa yi-ACA kwiintsuku ezingama-30 zokufakwa kwesicelo sokuqala.Iirekhodi zivumelekile kwiinyanga ze-12, kwaye izicelo zokuhlaziya kufuneka zifakwe ubuncinane iintsuku ze-30 ngaphambi kokuphelelwa yisikhathi kwi-50 yentlawulo yokuvuselela.Ukuba umnini we-IP unquma ukusebenzisa i-arhente ukulawula inkqubo yerekhodi, kufuneka aqinisekise ukuba i-arhente yabo ekhethiweyo ibhalisiwe kwi-ACA.
