GUIDELINES BY DESIGN

OHIM has brought the European Community Design Examination Guidelines into force. The Guidelines are designed to explain how the Community Design Regulation, the Implementing Regulation and the Fees Regulation will be applied by the Office and spell out the process from the receipt of the application by OHIM to the registration and publication of the design. Particular emphasis is placed on: the unitary nature of CDs, the need to maintain a register and the need for user-friendliness (including as regards small and medium sized enterprises and individual designers) on the part of OHIM.

The IPKat welcomes any measures which are going to make the workings of the Office clearer and looks forward to following how they will be put into practice.

Good office practice here, here, here and here

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.
