EUIPO releases new Alicante News issue – January 2017

2. February 2017

The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) has released its latest issue of the “Alicante News”. The very first issue for 2017 has its focus on the DesignClass Phase II that went live in early January. Read more about the Alicante News in this article.

Phase II of the design classification tool, DesignClass, was launched on 7th January, marking the finalisation of the CP7 – Harmonisation of Product Indications convergence project.

A year on from the publication of the first ever Common Practice on designs, the second European design convergence initiative reaches completion The tool offers users and IP Offices a harmonised database of approximately 15,000 product indications, including the Locarno 11th Edition Classification terms. It is the result of collaboration between 24 participating EU Offices, 4 non-EU IP Offices, 2 User Associations, WIPO and EUIPO, who worked to pre-approve the harmonised product indications in 23 EU languages.

Prior to the development of DesignClass no common classification tool for designs existed in the EU. The CP7 project was therefore launched to converge practices in this area, by standardising the use of product indications within the EU and beyond. To meet its objectives, the project was rolled out in two phases. Phase I, which went live in November 2015, delivered the Common Practice, the harmonised database of product indications and the first release of DesignClass.
