The third online session of the EUIPO User Group meeting was held on 9 June, with 20 representatives from 14 user associations taking part. MARQUES was represented by External Relations Officer Alessandra Romeo and Riccardo Fecchio, Co-Vice-Chair of the European Trade Mark Law and Practice Team. The draft Guidelines (2020 edition) are available online for review and suggestions. Comments can be submitted by 15 September 2020 using the online feedback form. More information is available here. The Presidium of the Boards of Appeal has published Decision 2020-2 concerning oral proceedings held by videoconference. The competent Board may elect to hold proceedings in-person or by videoconference and the Decision sets out various aspects of the procedure. EUIPO and EURid are intensifying their collaboration, in particular by exploring the possibility of implementing a reciprocal process when a .eu domain name is registered, allowing holders to see if a trade mark with a similar name is available at the EUIPO. They are also working on a common study on application behaviour, to see whether trade marks or domain names are registered first. More details are here.
