Introduction of registers of trade mark agents and registered design agents
In March 2016, a consultation was issued regarding the establishment of a register of trade mark agents. The consultation, and the response document, are available to view here.
The outcome of the consultation was a recommendation to the Committee for Economic Development to introduce a register of trade mark agents, and a register of design right agents. New regulations relating to trade mark and design rights agents were made on 23 February 2017, and came into effect on 1 April 2017.
The regulations are available to view in the Law & Practice section.
Further information on the effect of the introduction of registers of trade mark agents and registered design agents is available here.
