Deadline for Specifying Class Headings Soon Expired


The deadline for specifying class headings in accordance with the EU trademark reform will soon expire: declarations under Article 28(8) EUTMR must be submitted to the EUIPO before September 24, 2016.

As reported earlier, Article 28(8) of EUTMR allows for a transitional period of six months during which proprietors of EUTMs applied for before June 22, 2012, and registered in respect of the entire heading of a Nice class may declare that their intention on the date of filing had been to seek protection in respect of goods and services beyond those covered by the literal meaning of that heading.
