/ARKA/

YEREVAN
Armenian National Assembly amended the law on trademarks on Thursday.
The amendments simplify some procedures.
Misha Stepanyan, co-author of the bill, said that the amendment
was prompted by the necessity to specify the procedure of juridical
preservation of trademarks.
He said that equal conditions are created to all the registered
right holders.
Authors of the bill also propose to facilitate paperwork necessary
for consideration of applications for trade mark.
New provisions were added to the law. They state that names of
countries and their acronyms can be included in the trademark as no
persistent elements, if they don’t dominate the trademark and the usage
of the trademark is not insulting or outrageous for this country.
