No Disclaimer Required


After implementation of the Madrid Protocol in September 2010, the Israeli Trademark Office (ITO) has issued a Circular of Administrative Instructions revising its practice with regard to requiring disclaimers. No requirement for a disclaimer will be made from the ITO's part concerning components of the trademark that were considered to lack inherent distinctive nature, if the mark as a whole exhibits distinctiveness. In the past the ITO required such a disclaimer.
Following this Registrar's Circular, the ITO's practice now resembles the OHIM regarding disclaimers in CTMs.
