New no-deal Brexit guidance on trade marks
The UK Government has published new guidance on trade marks if the UK leaves the EU without a deal.
The guidance, published on 19th September 2019, shares how the Government will handle trade marks – including rights of representation, opt-outs, use, priority and seniority.
Although much of this information has been published previously, it brings it all together and adds additional detail on a few issues.
We recommend all trade mark legal practitioners take a moment to review the guidance.
