AGB TRADEMARK CLEARINGHOUSE 3.2 v 7.0
by Paul Tattersfield Sept. 4, 2019

Sept. 4, 2019

Isn’t it simply parts of 3.2 are poorly drafted and only for the “inclusion” of marks into the TMCH whereas the actual RPMs to be afforded are more precisely* drafted in 7? * 7.* *PROTECTION FOR MARKS IN CLEARINGHOUSE *The scope of registered marks that must be honored by registries in providing Trademarks Claims services is broader than those that must be honored by registries in Sunrise services. 7.1 For Trademark Claims services - Registries must recognize and honor all word marks that have been or are: (i) nationally or regionally registered; (ii) court-validated; or (iii) specifically protected by a statute or treaty in effect at the time the mark is submitted to the Clearinghouse for inclusion. No demonstration of use is required. 7.2 For Sunrise services - Registries must recognize and honor all word marks: (i) nationally or regionally registered and for which proof of use – which can be a declaration and a single specimen of current use – was submitted to, and validated by, the Trademark Clearinghouse; or (ii) that have been court-validated; or (iii) that are specifically protected by a statute or treaty currently in effect and that was in effect on or before 26 June 2008. [AGB Version 2012-06-04] *Though it would seem the word “registered” should be omitted from the first sentence in 7 unless it means registered with the TMCH
