 European Patent Organisation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The European Patent Organisation has two organs: the European Patent Office, which can be viewed as its executive body, and the Administrative Council, which can be considered as its legislative body to a limited extent, the actual legislative body for important matters being the Contracting States, when they meet during an intergovernmental Diplomatic Conference.
The European Patent Office also includes a branch in Rijswijk (suburb of The Hague, Netherlands), sub-offices in Berlin, Germany, and Vienna, Austria and a "liaison bureau" in Brussels, Belgium.
As of 2005, the European Patent Office had a staff of 6000 (among which about 3000 in Munich, 2650 in The Hague, 300 in Berlin and 100 in Vienna).

The Office accepts that it is possible that a number of containers available on the market may have a different shape from that of the sign which it is sought to register.
The Office accordingly claims that even the combination of the elements of the container cannot lead consumers to perceive the shape which it is sought to register as anything other than a simple form of packaging; all in all, consumers will not perceive the commercial origin of the goods.
In addition, as regards the earlier national registrations, the Office accepts that it is desirable that the practice of the Member States and that of the Office should be the same, but that as a matter of law the national authorities are not bound by the decisions of the Office and vice versa.

In the Communication, the Commission notes that the Internal Market has largely become the framework for managing and using copyright and related rights: the digital environment, by definition, makes it possible to exploit rights across borders, but, at the same time, licensing for analogue exploitation is also increasingly taking on a cross-border dimension.
OHIM will cancel the registration where the facts and evidence presented by the third party prove that the contested Community design does not fulfil the requirements for protection.
While the gradual harmonisation of substantive law on intellectual property rights has promoted the free movement of goods between the Member States and has made the rules applicable more transparent, the means of enforcing intellectual property rights have not yet been subject to any harmonisation.

It is possible to cover the whole of the European Union by a single trade mark application filed at the Office for Harmonisation in the Internal Market (OHIM).
OHIM conducts a search through prior CTM registrations and applications while most individual States also conduct searches through their National registers and the results of these searches are sent by OHIM to the Applicant.
Because OHIM does not examine applications on relative grounds, it is the responsibility of the owner of an existing community or national right to protect their own interests by opposing conflicting CTM applications.

As regards the commencement and the term of protection of the registered Community design, upon registration by the Office, a design which meets the requirements under Section 1 (requirements for protection) shall be protected by a registered Community design for a period of 5 years as from the date of the filing of the application.
Applications for registered Community designs may be filed at the Office from the date fixed by the Administrative Board on the recommendation of the President of the Office.
Given that full harmonisation of the design laws of the Member States on the spare parts issue could not yet be introduced, at the present stage, it does not seem either appropriate or realistic to expect that such harmonisation could be achieved through this Regulation.
