New Examination Guidelines in Force


On March 1, 2021, the latest edition of the Guidelines for Examination of European Union trademarks and registered Community designs entered into force, following the approval by the Executive Director of the EUIPO on 8 February 2021 by means of Decision EX-21-1.

The Guidelines are available in both electronic and PDF format on the EUIPO website here. The modifications introduced in the new edition can be seen and compared to the previous edition by switching on the ‘Show modifications’ option at the top part of the electronic version of the Guidelines.

Currently, the latest edition of the Guidelines is available in English, French, German, Italian and Spanish. Nevertheless, the Guidelines will be made available in the other 18 official languages of the EU during the course of 2021.
