DO NOT MISS THE OPPORTUNITY AND REGISTER NOW

Mexico has been -for long time- amongst the very few countries that do not provide a trademark opposition system. Consequently, the only alternative for third parties to oppose a registration of pending applications in our country was the filing of unofficial observations which, sometimes, were not even taken into consideration by examiners during substantive assessment.

Nonetheless, as of August 30, 2016, an opposition system will be implemented in the Mexican trademark procedure which is definitely expected to create a more interactive environment between trademark owners as well as more accurate decisions by the examiners.

La Alta Cámara de Recursos de la Oficina Europea de Patentes establece una posición intermedia sobre la adaptación de descripciones tras modificar reivindicaciones. Este análisis examina cómo la nueva doctrina unifica la práctica de la OEP al requerir adaptaciones solo cuando las modificaciones generen inconsistencias que afecten la claridad o los requisitos de patentabilidad del Convenio sobre Concesión de Patentes Europeas.
