IP rights will remain protected in the UK after the Brexit transition

An agreement was made between the European Union and the United Kingdom, regarding the Brexit and its implications on Intellectual Property.

It was established that after the Brexit’s transition period ends (December 31st of 2020), the owners of Commmunity Designs and European Union Trademarks will have their rights protected in the UK.

The owners of the above trademarks shall, “without any re-examination, become the holders of a comparable registered and enforceable in IP right in the UK”.

We are currently analyzing this matter more carefully and will soon publish an article about the same.
