The Executive Director of the EUIPO, Christian Archambeau, has released a new video update on the current situation at the Office. Mr. Archambeau noted that due to the end of the second extension of time limits period on 18 May, approximately 21 000 EUTMs need to be published over a period of weeks to avoid technical issues.
He gave an update on improvements to the eComm system which will help users to replace their use of fax communications, and underlined the continuing success of virtual meetings at the Office. Mr. Archambeau also updated users on the Office’s return plan, which begins in June.
