New Trademark Law in Romania
The Law 66/2010 on trademarks and geographical indications in Romania came into
effect on May 9, 2010.
Pursuant
to the new law, holograms as well as sound marks can be registered as
trademarks. Moreover, a registration of a national trademark will be refused if
it is identical or similar to a prior European Union (EU) community
registration.
All
interested parties can submit observations on absolute grounds and formulate
opposition on relative grounds within two months from the publication date of
the trademark application in the online database of Romania’s Patent and
Trademark Office (PTO).
