Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy,
Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia,
Spain, Sweden).
If the European Union is designated, it is compulsory to indicate a second language before the Office of the
European Union. The second language must be chosen from among the following five languages, but may
not be the language of the international application from which the international registration indicated in item 1
resulted, regardless of the language of the present subsequent designation. Thus, for example, if the
international application was filed in French and this subsequent designation is in English, French may not
be selected as the second language (check one box only):
English

French

German

Italian

Spanish

Moreover, if the applicant wishes to claim the seniority of an earlier mark registered in, or for, a Member
State of the European Union, the official form MM17 must be annexed to the present subsequent
designation.
b

By designating Brunei Darussalam, Guernsey, India, Ireland, Lesotho, Malawi, Malaysia, Mozambique,
New Zealand, Pakistan, Singapore, Trinidad and Tobago or the United Kingdom, the holder declares
that he/she has the intention that the mark will be used by him/her or with his/her consent in that country in

Contracting Party. Item 5(a) of the present form should also be completed.

e

Cuba, Brazil and Japan have made a notification under Rule 34(3)(a) of the Common Regulations. Their
respective individual fees are payable in two parts. Therefore, if Cuba, Brazil or Japan is designated,

application. The second part will have to be paid only if the Office of the Contracting Party concerned is satisfied
that the mark which is the subject of the international registration qualifies for protection. The date by which the
second part must be paid, and the amount due, will be notified to the holder of the international registration
at a later stage.

to November 18, 1998, India in respect of international registrations effected prior to July 8, 2013, and the

and lawfully conducts business in connection with the goods and services for which Brazil is being
