On July 2, 2009 the Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trademarks and the Regulations under the Singapore Treaty on the Law of Trademarks came into force in the territory of the Republic of Poland. Both the Treaty and procedural Regulations thereto were adopted during a diplomatic conference held in Singapore from 13 to 27 March 2006. The purpose of the Singapore Treaty is further harmonization of trademark registration procedures commenced earlier at international level under the 1994 Trademark Law Treaty of Geneva. The Singapore Treaty is applicable to all types of trademarks registered in accordance with national laws (trademarks, service marks and collective marks, certification marks and guarantee marks.). The contracting States are free to choose the forms of communication (including electronic means), in which the offices responsible for receiving trademark applications and registration of marks correspond with the parties to the proceedings. The Treaty has introduced a number of new regulations, namely those regarding changes in trademark registers, recordal of trademark licenses, as well as those concerning formal requirements for professional representatives.
