New trademark law comes into force on 1st January 2011
On the 29th January 2010, the government handed over a proposal for a new trademark law to the Swedish Council on Legislation.
The main changes which this will entail are:
- that processing of registrations will be clearer and the language more modern, which will promote effectiveness
- that a trademark application can be partially rejected
- that a trademark can be revoked through administrative routes by the Swedish Patent and Registration Office
- the opposition period is extended to 3 months
- that corporate regulations are coordinated as much as possible with trademark law
- to allow Sweden to join the Singapore convention, the aim of which is to harmonise the formal requirements of trademark law.
According to the Minister for Justice, Beatrice Ask, a modernization of the trademark legal framework is desirable, inter alia to stimulate the establishment of new businesses in Sweden.
