Ireland and Malta Adopt Harmonised Goods & Services List


Ireland and Malta adopt harmonised list of goods and services
The Irish and the Maltese Patent Offices have decided to adopt the harmonised list of goods and services for trade marks as drawn up by the UKIPO and OHIM. This is part of a project to create a common list, with approved translations, accepted by participating EU trade mark offices and other international partners.

As a result of their successfully joining the EuroClass project on December 13th, 2010, the content of the harmonised list of goods and services as presented in the EuroClass application will be accepted by the Irish and Maltese office. The decision of both offices is a significant step forward in the EuroClass cooperation project, which compares the goods and services terms used by participating offices. This project is supported by WIPO who act as an arbitrator in the event of any disagreements.
