July,
2008 |
The Portuguese Industrial Property Code has been published on July 25, 2008 and will become in force on October 1, 2008. This new Code includes several significant changes in the Portuguese IP Law and its general scope is to simplify the procedures before the Trademark Office. One of the most relevant and practical changes concerns the fact that the filing of periodical Declarations of Intent to Use (DIUs) is no longer required in order to keep a trademark registration in force. According to this new Law the trademarks in relation to which DIUs were not filed in the past will not be subject to cancellation on this ground anymore. These specific changes have become effective on July 26, 2008. Another extremely important change refers to the establishment of rules for provisional patent applications. We will shortly incorporate in our web page a summary of the main changes which we are analysing. |
