What may be the main (potential) events in the life of an EU/national trade mark? Here's a new map

- ,
The new academic year has begun: students (and professors!) have returned from their holidays and are now busy exploring the intricacies of IP law.

As some readers may remember, over time I have shared on this blog some of the maps, diagrams and checklists prepared for my students to help them understand some of the key IP issues I teach [the materials can be found here].

I have now revisited my old Life of a national/EU trade Mark map and worked towards updating and improving it. 

The new map concerning EU/national trade marks: Main life events is available below and can be downloaded here. I would like to thank fellow Kat Rosie for her feedback. There is no need to say that I am responsible for any errors/inaccuracies.



As usual, any comments from readers would be very welcome! 

 [UPDATE on 4 October 2018: Many thanks to the readers who have provided me with helpful feedback - A slightly amended version of the map has been provided]

    Hi always depends for which audience - the EUIPO's summary of the registration process is also very high level but provides a really good overview: https://euipo.europa.eu/ohimportal/en/registration-process

    I would perhaps add information about the Filing date (priority claim), Classification and Formalities checks, then Absolute Grounds, the Translation and Search stage, Publication of the application.

    Prior to filing an application I would still recommend a proper clearance search rather than just a database check; that is too risky an approach for most. Not sure what others think.

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
