Companies will be able to register new forms of trademarks

A trademark will no longer have to be expressed only in graphic form and the Patent Office of the Republic of Poland will remind of the need to pay for protection for subsequent period. Such changes are brought by the amendment to the Act – Industrial Property Law adopted last week by the Sejm (consolidated text: Journal of Laws of 2017, item 776, as amended).

– In Article 120 para. 2 of the amended Act, the legislator presented a redefined catalog of trademarks, which now includes even sound. The catalog has been completed with a word, including name, drawing, letter, number, color, spatial form, including the shape of article or packaging – says Michał Tuszyński, lawyer, patent attorney trainee.
