TIPO updates its Cross-strait Concordance List of Similar Group Codes (Corresponding to Nice Classification 11th edition, Version 2017 (NCL 11-2017)
As the 11th edition of the Nice Classification (NCL) of the WIPO (11-2017) has come into force this year, TIPO updated its Cross-strait Concordance List of Similar Group Codes (corresponding to Nice Classification 11th edition, version 2017 (NCL 11-2017). By so doing, it is hoped that the list can serve as a reference when people try to identify the classification of designated goods and/or services or to carry out a search for similar trademarks already pending or registered, thereby affording users of cross-strait the opportunity to develop better advance planning before they file trademark applications.
