New Office Guidelines


The President of OHIM has signed the Decision implementing the new Office Guidelines.

The first part of the new Guidelines came into force in February 2014. Until 31 July 2014, the current Manual of Office Practice and the first part of the new Guidelines will be in effect. After 1 August 2014, both parts of the Guidelines will form the Office's practice.

The new Guidelines will be available on the current practice page of the OHIM website in July. They are currently available in PDF form, along with the Decision, here.

The Guidelines have been thoroughly updated with case law from the Court of Justice of the EU, the case law of OHIM's Boards of Appeal, and the outcome of the Convergence Programmes.
