CP11 and CP12 Common Practices Adopted


EUIPO informs that the CP11 Common Practice and CP12 Common Practice were adopted by the Management Board through a written procedure in November 2020, following acknowledgement at the Liaison Meeting on Trade Marks in October.

The CP11 Common Practice establishes general principles on the examination of formal requirements and grounds for refusal and/or invalidity of new types of trademark, namely sound, motion, multimedia and hologram marks, and the new ways of representing them.

The CP12 Common Practice provides recommendations regarding evidence in trademark appeal proceedings, in particular, its types, means, sources and identification of relevant dates, as well as its structure and presentation, and the treatment of confidential evidence.

The Common Practices will be implemented by IP Offices in Spring 2021 and made available through the publication of the corresponding Common Communications.
