United Kingdom - a new fast track service for trade mark

United Kingdom - The UK-IPO recently announced the launch of a new fast track service for trade mark applications and a new version of the online patent filing system
The United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office (UK-IPO) recently introduced new services for the filing of patents and trade marks. They are particularly relevant for European small and medium enterprises (SMEs) that plan to protect their IP rights in the UK.
First of all, UK-IPO announced the launch of a new fast track service for trade mark applications, which provides quick registration of a trade mark. The new service will become operational on 6th April 2008.
At the same time, UK-IPO launched a new improved version of the online patent filing system, which allows users to request an online certified copy of patent applications, provide information about late declarations of priority and request entry of an international patent application into the UK national phase. Over the next few months further enhancements in the online services are expected
