To accelerate the examination process of trademark dispute cases, TIPO promulgated the “Notice on Trademark Dispute Examination Procedures”. TIPO stipulated the Notice to improve the examination procedures based on the situations commonly seen to delay the process in real practices. The improvement measures include directly entering into the substantive examination phase ex officio without going through the procedure of Cross-examination and hearing. The Notice comprises matters relating to shortened examination time and effective management. The related information was posted onto TIPO’s website on September 1, 2015.
