3-Month Period before Restriction or Cancellation of Intl. Registrations Are Actioned


Notifications of the restriction or cancellation of international trademark registrations designating New Zealand (NZDs) from their office of origin are no longer immediately actioned in the New Zealand trademark register.

Instead, a 3-month delay is automatically imposed before implementing the change. This delay is to provide an opportunity to request for the NZD to be transformed into a national application or registration. Applicants must still email at mail@iponz.govt.nz to request for this transformation.
