The Industrial Property Office of the Business Development Agency of the Principality of Monaco (MCIPO) has published a practice paper on the examination of absolute grounds for refusal for figurative trade marks with purely descriptive words/expressions
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.
