Common Practice on Use of Trademarks in a Form Differing from the One Registered


On October 15, 2020, EUIPO published the Common Communication document which included the CP8 Common Practice.

The Common Practice document delivers a set of principles and examples on the use of a trademark in a form differing from the one registered by taking into account the impact of additions, omissions, and modifications of characteristics on the distinctive character of registered word marks, purely figurative marks and composite marks (combination of verbal and figurative elements). It serves as a reference for EUIPO and Intellectual Property Offices of Member States.

The Common Communication can be seen here. It is available in all EU languages.
