With thanks to our friends at SMAS for the timely update we can
report that the Procedure for the reservation of trade marks announced here has been suspended. In the normal course this would be a matter of some
concern. However, in this case SMAS have been informed by the Commercial
Registrar’s office that the suspension is due to the Trade mark Bill for South
Sudan being in the final stages of legislation.
This part of the Empty Quarter likes certainty and looks forward
to reporting further news on the new legislation when news is available. Will
marks from the former (whole) Sudan transfer to the new South Sudan Registry?
What about Paris? Madrid (Agreement or Protocol)? Fees? Will there be a domain
like sunrise period? So many questions, so much advice to be given. And then
there are questions for patents, designs and copyright!
