Executive Summary
New EU rules on trade marks have come into force as part of a drive to align practices at member state and EU level, make the trade mark system more efficient and easier to use, and reduce the cost of registering marks, especially for smaller companies. Further legislation taking effect in March will rename both the trade mark and the European office that registers them.
