EU TM Reforms – final parts come into in force on 1 October 2017
EU TM Reforms – final parts come into in force on 1 October 2017
The final tranche of reforms to the EU trade mark system will enter into force on 1 October  2017 (see our blog series for discussion of the reforms that took effect from March 2016). Most of the changes coming in now are procedural, but some of the more substantial changes are:
  • the change to the graphical representation requirement which in theory makes non-traditional marks easier to register; and
  • the availability of EU Certification Marks.
If you would like to discuss how any of the above changes will affect you, please do get in touch.
