12. Subsequent designations and changes provided for under
the Agreement, the Protocol and the Regulations, can be
recorded in the International Register before or after renewal.
A separate request must be presented to the International
Bureau for this purpose. At the time of publication of renewals,
only changes recorded at the latest on the date of expiry of
the registration to be renewed are taken into account.
D. Subsequent designations
13. A subsequent designation is a request to extend the effects
of an international registration to a Contracting Party to
which it does not yet extend its effects. A subsequent designation
can be filed at any time. As is the case for registration,
and under the same conditions, each Contracting Party which
is the subject of a subsequent designation may refuse protection
of the mark or pronounce its invalidation (see item 6
above); The time limits indicated in item 6 above start from
the date of notification of the subsequent designation.
E. Classification of figurative elements
14. Where the mark which is the subject of an international
registration is a figurative mark or a word mark comprising a
figurative element, the publication of that registration indicates,
under the reproduction of the mark, the categories and
divisions of the Classification of Figurative Elements of
Marks Established by the Vienna Agreement of June 12,
1973, in which the figurative elements of that mark are placed
(Article 4 of the Vienna Agreement). The fifth edition of the
Classification of Figurative Elements entered into force on
January 1, 2003.
F. Miscellaneous
15. Abbreviations
A capital letter (A, B or C, etc.), which follows the registration
number means that it concerns a part of the registration
bearing the same number which has been transferred.
