On July 1, 2022, Myanmar's Ministry of Commerce issued
Notification No. 44/2022, which specifies forms for filings under
the 2019 Trademark Law. While the “soft opening” period
of Myanmar's Intellectual Property Department (IPD) is
approaching two years and the date of the full opening is still
undetermined, this new notification is a substantial development
and can be considered progress pointing toward full implementation
of the Trademark Law.
The notification came with an annex describing the following 19
forms (issued in both Myanmar and English language on the IPD
website):
- Application for Registration of a Mark
- Appointment of a Representative
- Request for Reinstatement of an Application
