New EUIPO guidance on COVID-19 measures
The EUIPO has today (15 May) published a Guidance Note on the end of the extension of time limits.
In a video message, EUIPO Executive Director Christian Archambeau provided an update on the current situation at the Office.
He also updated users on the Office’s use of videoconferencing during the current COVID-19 crisis, and confirmed that the first virtual Stakeholder Quality Assurance Panel meetings will begin next month.
EUIPO’s staff has been teleworking since 16 March, in accordance with the state of emergency declared by the Spanish government. Mr Archambeau gave details on the first phase of the Office’s return plan, to be carried out in full compliance with health and safety advice.
