Monaco aligns with the European Convergence of Practice Programme CP3

The Industrial Property Office of Monaco is updating its procedure for examining the distinctiveness of a semi-figurative trademark including descriptive terms and is adhering to the common European practice resulting from the work and legal reflections of the CP3 Convergence Programme organised by the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). A background paper for trademark users and practitioners can be found  at this link and is also being published on the official EUIPO website here.
