管理商标申请和注册的新规则近在乌克兰生效。它们现在与《新加坡条约》和《关于马德里协定的议定书》的规定相协调,并且更符合《欧洲联盟-乌克兰联系国协定》中规定的欧盟标准。
主要变化如下:
1. 商标申请要求:
从现在开始,在提交商标申请时,需要提供更多关于申请人的信息,即:
--自然人申请须提供以下额外资料:出生日期、身份文件详情等;
*注:此信息不会在公开登记册中公开。它用于核实申请人是否隶属于侵略国,并检查是否实施了任何制裁。
--外国公司或法人所申请必须提供公司注册号码。
2. 扩展商标注册范围:
商标注册范围进一步扩大。除了文字和图形商标外,申请人现在还可以注册三维、声音、位置、装饰、运动、全息和多媒体商标。这一重要的变化能够更好地保护申请人更广泛的业务领域,使它们区别于竞争对手。
3. 放弃非原创商标元素::
申请人可以在申请提交阶段放弃商标的非原创部分的专有权。这种做法在世界各国已经很普遍了。
4. 乌克兰知识产权局审查员回避程序介绍:
建立了知识产权局审查员回避或自行回避的程序。如果审查员对审查结果有既得利益,是申请人的家庭成员或近亲属,或在申诉程序撤销该局的决定后正在进行的重新审查程序,则适用此规定。
这些变化无疑将影响乌克兰知识产权领域的发展,因此我们预计这些更新将出现有实际意义的案例。
New Rules governing the filing and registration of trademarks have recently come into force in Ukraine. They are now harmonized with the provisions of the Singapore Treaty and the Protocol Relating to the Madrid Agreement as well as are more aligned with EU standards as set forth in the European Union-Ukraine Association Agreement.
The key changes are as follows:
1. Application Requirements:
From now on, it is required to provide more information about the applicants when submitting a trademark application, namely:
- individuals are required to provide the following additional data: date of birth, identity document details, etc.*
*Note: This information will not be publicly available in open registers. It is used to verify that the applicant is not affiliated with an aggressor state and to check for any imposed sanctions.
- foreign legal entities are now also required to provide their company registration numbers.
2. Expanded Trademark Registration Options:
The scope of trademark registration has been broadened. In addition to verbal and figurative trademarks, applicants can now register three-dimensional, sound, positional, ornamental, motion, holographic, and multimedia marks. This important change enables better protection for a wider range of business features that differentiate them from competitors.
3. Disclaiming Non-Original Trademark Elements:
Applicants can now disclaim parts of a trademark that are not original at the application filing stage. This practice is already widespread in different countries of the world.
4. Introduction of Recusal Procedures for the Ukrainian IP Office Examiners:
A procedure for recusal or self-recusal of the IP Office examiner has been established. This applies if the examiner has a vested interest in the examination results, is a family member or close relative of the applicant, or is conducting a re-examination following a cancellation of the Office's decision by the Appeals Chamber.
These changes will undoubtedly impact the development of the Ukrainian IP sphere, thus we anticipate interesting practical cases emerging from these updates.
