The EU trademark Directive, in force since december 11, 2019, contains important new features: the opposition procedure is now open to all owners of prior rights (and not only trademark owners); certain signs (animation, audio, multimedia) can now be registered as trademarks; and finally, the action for revocation is in principme now devolved to the French Trademark Office (INPI), unless it is raised before a Court as a defense to an infringement action. This last point will certainly raise complex procedural issues.
