On 8 August 2019, the Office of Germany withdrew, with immediate effect, the notification made under Rule 20bis(6)(a) of the Common Regulations.

Consequently, as from that date, the recording in the International Register of a license granted in respect of Germany relating to an international registration of a mark has the same effect as if it had been made directly in the national Register of the Office of this Contracting Party.

For further information, please refer to Information Notice No. 55/2019.
