Taiwan Issues Examination Guidelines on Non-Conventional Trademarks

摘要

Taiwan's new Trademark Act has been in effect since July 1, 2012. As the Act involved changes to several conventions including the expansion of the scope of protection for non-conventional trademarks, amendments to the disclaimer provisions, deletion of the two-instalment payment system and addition of new provisions regarding exclusive and non-exclusive licenses, other supporting measures had also been successively introduced in order to facilitate compliance.
