Revised Design Guidelines in Force Now


On October 1, 2018, the revised Guidelines for Examination of Registered Community Designs at the EUIPO entered into force.

EUIPO informs that the revision focused on a number of important issues, such as the role of product indications and functionality in designs, and incorporating recent Court rulings into the Guidelines.

The revision was also intended to update the Office’s practice on designs in view of the previous changes for trademarks triggered by the Legislative Reform process, for instance, on priority assessment.
