In the UK registered trade marks can be revoked, in whole or in part, on only three grounds:
Applications for the revocation on the grounds of non-use must be made on a set form and include a supporting statement in favour of the revocation and a fee of £200.
A number of recent decisions by the courts and other bodies have led to changes in the procedures required and a new practice note has therefore been issued.
Users and practitioners are advised to take note of it.
