Opis

The Community Trade Mark Regulation came into force in March 1994, and the first CTM applcations will be accepted from 1st January 1996. By filing one application, a trade mark owner may obtain a single registration effective throughout the whole of the EC, and for the first time it will be possible to gain truly international protection for intellectual property rights.
