Regulation 22.9 of the Intellectual Property Legislation Amendment (Raising the Bar) Regulation 2013
Submission Date: 10 April 2013
Members of the Intellectual Property Committee of the Business Law Section of the Law Council of Australia (IPC) share the concerns which have been expressed by the Institute of Patent and Trade Mark Attorneys of Australia in relation to the transitional provisions in regulation 22.9 of the Intellectual Property Legislation Amendment (Raising the Bar) Regulation 2013 (the Regulations).
In particular, the IPC believes that the provisions dealing with extensions of time for filing/serving evidence in opposition proceedings are so unclear that they are likely to cause serious problems when the Regulations come into force.
The IPC therefore submits that the Trade Marks Office should, as a matter of extreme urgency, issue a practice note explaining how the Office proposes to deal with the application of the transitional provisions.
