WARNING
On several occasions, the attention of the International
Bureau has been drawn to the fact that certain orgazinations are
sending letters to the owners of international registrations, inviting
them to register their marks in publications which appear to
be of an official nature.
The International Bureau warns the owners of international
registrations and their agents that such a publication has absolutely
no legal effect in regard to the protection of the said
marks and is therefore unnecessary.
