We inform ECTA members that the revised EUIPO Rules on Mediation, to which ECTA contributed through its Mediation Committee, entered into force on 14 July 2025.

The updated rules aim to provide a simplified, clearer, and more efficient process to support the swift resolution of intellectual property disputes.

The new rules apply to all mediation requests submitted on or after 14 July 2025 and can be consulted here.
