Faster registration of utility models.Experts warn of the effects of changes

The Polish Ministry of Development and Technology, in collaboration with the Office for Patents and Trademarks (UP), has proposed changes to the Industrial Property Law aimed at streamlining the registration process for utility models. Currently, the procedure takes over two years on average, which is problematic since protection lasts only 10 years from the date of submission. The new system would replace the current examination process with a registration-based approach, potentially speeding up approvals. However, legal experts warn that these changes might lead to unintended consequences.
