Explanatory Note
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends the Trade Marks (International Registration) Order 1996 (SI 1996/714, as amended).
The requirements in that Order to provide an address for service are liberalised. The amendments made by this Order allow applicants for an international trade mark (UK) to provide an address for service in the United Kingdom, another EEA State or the Channel Islands. Although, during any proceedings before the registrar, an address for service in the United Kingdom will be required unless the registrar otherwise directs.
