10th Meeting of the OAMI Users’ Group.

The

Association Internationale pour la Protection de la Propriété Intellectuelle (AIPPI) has published a

Report authored by

Martin Sick Nielsen on the 10th Meeting of the OAMI Users’ Group held on February 16, 2004 in Alicante, Spain. The Report conveys a wealth of valuable information for all who have to deal with the

OHIM. An interesting fact is that, according to the Report, in 2003 the number of CTM applications increased by more than 25%, in particular due to a very high number of applications filed in October 2003 (> 12,000 applications). Obviously this effect was caused by the end of the

"grandfathering period" on October 31, 2003.
