PATENT OFFICE ROUND-UP


  • The address for service requirements have been liberalised. From now on the UK Patent Office will accept trade mark and patent applications from undertakings without an address for service in the UK, as long as they have an address for service within the EU, EEA or Channel Islands. This will ensure compliance with the EC Treaty. More details here

  • The Trade Mark Registry has launched its mediation service. A new Mediation Service Team will be available to conduct mediations in the Patent Office’s premises in both London and Newport. Facilities will also be made available to independent mediators. More details ici.

  • Meetings are taking place across the country this month concerning the future of the relative grounds examination of trade marks. Their aim is to inform customers of the options for a future system and to answer any questions. Direct your mouse in this direction for more details.

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
