Major reforms of the European trademark system will take effect on March 23, 2016, with the enactment of Regulation (EU) 2015/2424 of the European Parliament and of the Council. Key changes you need to be aware of include:
Perhaps the most important of the foregoing reforms is the provision involving the scope of class heading language. In a 2012 case involving the mark IP TRANSLATOR, the European Court of Justice decided that use of a complete class heading description does not guarantee that all goods or services in that class are covered.
