Designation to New Zealand Needs Intention to Use


The Government of New Zealand has notified the Director General of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), that it requires, as a Contracting Party designated under the Protocol, a declaration of intention to use the mark.

By designating New Zealand, the applicant or holder declares that he has the intention that the mark will be used by him or with his consent in that country in connection with the goods and services identified in the international application or subsequent designation concerned.

The notification made by New Zealand shall enter into force on the same date as the entry into force of the Madrid Protocol with regard to New Zealand, namely December 10, 2012.
