Hague Agreement for Industrial Designs Ratified by NL


The Kingdom of the Netherlands (for the European part of the Netherlands) has deposited the instrument of ratification of the Hague System for the international registration of industrial designs on September 18, 2018.

The instrument was accompanied by a declaration under Article 19, according to which:
"The Benelux Office for Intellectual Property has been designated as the common office for the three Benelux countries. The territories of the three countries to which the Benelux Convention on Intellectual Property (trademarks and designs) applies are, as a whole, considered to be one single Contracting Party for the purposes of Articles 1, 3 to 18 and 31 of the Geneva Act".

WIPO reminds that the Kingdom of Belgium deposited, on June 7, 2013, its instrument of ratification of the Geneva Act, and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg deposited its instrument of accession to the said Act, on September 3, 2013.
