What is conversion in a Community (EU) Trade Mark (CTM)
registration?



Articles 108-110 of the CTM registration provide that a CTM
Registration or Application may be converted into one or more
national trade mark applications: the filing date of the CTM
application will then be deemed to be the filing date of the national
application.

When a CTM registration or application is refused or withdrawn,
OHIM shall notify the applicant or proprietor fixing the period in
which a request for conversion may be filed.
Article 108 deals with the request for the application of national
procedure. Article 109 deals with the submission, publication and
transmission of the request for conversion. Article 110 deals with
the formal requirements for conversion.
