This practical webinar explores the complexities of international trade mark maintenance beyond routine fee payments, focusing on high-risk jurisdictions that require formal declarations or evidence of use.
Megan Rannard, Marks & Clerk, and Jamie Reynolds will give you actionable guidance on evidence gathering, specification pruning, and managing strict foreign agent formalities to safeguard client portfolios.
This webinar will cover:
- High-risk jurisdictions: Managing complex renewal requirements where proof of use or formal declarations are required alongside official fees (such as US Section 8/15 filings and Philippines or Latin American declarations).
- Evidence & specification audits: Establishing early client workflows to gather valid proof of use, review class lists, and safely prune unused goods and services.
- Formalities & foreign agent oversight: Navigating strict international POA, notarisation, and legalisation timelines, as well as handling grace periods and registry data checks.
Learning outcomes
- Gain actionable guidance for trade mark maintinance in high-risk jurisdictions.
