EUIPO releases new Alicante News issue – December 2017

11. January 2018

The European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) has released its last Issue of the Alicante News in 2017. This time’s main topic: The new Common Communication Guide from the European Trade Mark and Design Network on the representation of new types of trade marks. Read more about this and get the latest statistic-information in our article.

 

Common Communication on the representation of new types of trade marks:

Alicante News December 2017

The elimination of the graphical representation requirement from the definition of EU and national trade marks is one of the key changes brought by Directive (EU) 2015/2436.

This provision paves the way for the acceptance of new types of trade mark and new means of representation.

Therefore, to ensure the transition to the new Directive is as smooth as possible for all stakeholders, the Intellectual Property Offices of the Member States of the EU, the EUIPO and the European Commission have been working together to develop a common initiative on the representation of new types of trade marks.

The result is a Common Communication, which gives a complete overview of the state of play of each Office’s transposition process, showing:

• the types of trade mark each Office plans to accept;
• the definitions thereof;
• the accepted electronic file formats for sound, motion, multimedia and hologram marks.

The Common Communication also contains an Annex

After the first publication, the Communication will be updated on a six-monthly basis to reflect the developing positions of the Offices as they advance with the transposition process.

The first update is scheduled for the 1st of June 2018.
