"[...] National search reports, to check if Community Trade Marks being applied for are similar or identical to those already registered in individual EU member states, will become optional from 10 March, 2008.
From that date, search reports will be produced only if requested by the applicant at the time the application is filed. The searches will be done in all participating member states - 17 at present - and a separate fee will apply. Community search reports and warning letters, will continue to be delivered as before.
The fee for the national searches is currently being reviewed and further information will be given on the OHIM website before the new system takes effect. [...]"
