Taiwan's IP Office (TIPO) published on November 26, 2019 a
draft amendment to the Trademark Act after holding a hearing. All
sectors of the community are invited to render their opinions in
two months from publication of the draft.
Hereinafter we would like to summarize the main points of the
amendment for your ready reference:
Article 6
Under the current Trademark Law, any person may act as a
trademark agent so long as he/she has a residence in Taiwan. The
draft amendment stipulates that, apart from lawyers or other
persons who are surely entitled to act as trademark agents, TIPO
may formulate relevant rules and regulations governing the
qualifications, management, and revocation of the registration of
trademark agents.
