The future development of the International Classification of the Figurative Elements of Marks (Vienna Classification) was raised at the 7th session of the Committee of Experts of the Vienna Union (CE) meeting, held in Geneva on October 19 and 20, 2016.
At that meeting, the CE agreed that WIPO would take the initial step of preparing a questionnaire, with a view to discussing the future development of the Vienna Classification.
We have now made this questionnaire available under project QV001 on the e-forum to Member states of the Vienna Union, as well as to interested observers. Responses to the questionnaire will provide an insight into how the Vienna Classification is currently applied and may be used to help develop and improve it.
The deadline for responses is October 31, 2018, and completed questionnaires should be returned by email to nivilo@wipo.int
