Last week our friends at OHIM have published Decision EX-15-2 of the President adopting revised Guidelines for Examination on Community trade marks and registered Community designs.  This is a formidable document which Class 99 will make to attempt to summarise, since it spans a massive 616 pages and features the word "design" 375 times.  

This blogger likes to save up long documents for times when he's on a long-haul flight, so that he can read them at his leisure, in between meals and sleeps, and still feel that he has achieved something while in transit.  This set of Guidelines is sufficiently long and complex that would probably suit someone who is looking for something to read on a trip to Pluto.
