Trademarks
- Enlargement of the European Union
Source: Office
for Harmonization in the Internal Market (Trade Marks
and Designs)
On 1st January 2007, the European Union will be enlarged
for the sixth time since the establishment of the European
Community in 1957. The Treaty of Accession was signed
with Bulgaria and Romania on 25 April 2005. The consequences
as regards the Trade Mark and Design systems are the
same as the ones agreed with the ten Member States which
joined in May 2004, notably the automatic extension
of CTMs and CDs and the grandfathering of earlier rights.
