Guidelines for Examination Available in 23 Official Languages


On October 19, 2020, EUIPO informs that the Guidelines for the Examination of EU Trademarks and Registered Community Designs at the EUIPO (Decision No EX-19-4) are now available in 23 official languages.

The guidelines were adopted by the Executive Director on 12 December 2019 and have been in force since 1 February 2020. They were previously only available in the five working languages of the EUIPO namely in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Now the following languages have now been added: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, Greek, Hungarian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovene and Swedish.

The ‘compare’ functionality, which can be activated by switching on ‘Show modifications’ in the top left-hand corner of the web page, is now also available in 23 official EU languages. This enables the user to quickly view any changes compared to previous editions.
