The UK is due to leave the EU trade mark and design system (EU IPO) at 11pm on 31st December 2020. At that time identical UK trade mark and design registrations will be automatically created, cloned from the European Union registrations they are no longer part of.
HGF Complete can manage this process in the UK free of charge for you.
As part of this campaign, HGF is holding a series of webinars, where we will go into more detail on what Brexit means for trade mark and design registrations.
