Notifications by TR & AU on Common Regulations on Division/Merger of International Registrations


Turkey informed WIPO that its Office will not present to WIPO requests in accordance with new Rules 27bis(6) and 27ter(2)(b) of the Common Regulations because the Industrial Property Code of Turkey does not provide for the division or for the merger of registrations of a mark.

Australia informed WIPO that its Office will not present to WIPO requests in accordance with new Rules 27ter(2)(b) of the Common Regulations because the Australian Trade Marks Act 1995 does not provide for the merger of registrations of a mark. In addition, in accordance with new Rule 40 of the Common Regulations, the Government of Australia has notified that new Rule 27bis(1) of the Common Regulations is not compatible with the Australian Trade Marks Act 1995 and shall not apply in respect to Australia.

More information on the notification of Turkey is available here and on the notification on Australia here
