(1) Paragraphs 1a to 1n apply to an application for a UK temporary amendment to a product specification for a protected designation of origin or protected geographical indication (‘a UK temporary amendment application’). (1a) A UK temporary amendment application must be made to the Secretary of State. (1b) The procedures laid down in Articles 94 and 97 to 99 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 do not apply to a UK temporary amendment application. (1c) A UK temporary amendment application may be made by a group of producers having a legitimate interest in the relevant protected designation of origin or protected geographical indication unless the application to register the designation of origin or geographical indication was made by a single applicant, in which case the temporary amendment application may be made by that person. (1d) If a UK temporary amendment application is not made by the original (protection) applicant, the Secretary of State must give the original (protection) applicant the opportunity to make comments on the application if that applicant still exists. (1e) A UK temporary amendment application must: (a) describe the amendment applied for, (b) be accompanied by a copy of the product specification and, where relevant, the single document, showing the proposed temporary amendment, (c) compare for each amendment: (i) the original product specification against the proposed modified product specification, and (ii) where relevant, the original single document against the proposed modified single document, (d) provide an explanation of why the temporary amendment is needed, and (e) provide an estimate, where this is possible, of how long it is anticipated that the temporary amendment will be needed for. (1f) A UK temporary amendment application that does not comply with paragraph 1e is inadmissible. (1g) Where a UK temporary amendment application is inadmissible, the Secretary of State must inform the applicant that the application is inadmissible as soon as reasonably practicable after receiving the application. (1h) The Secretary of State may approve a UK temporary amendment application if the Secretary of State considers that a temporary amendment to the product specification is appropriate. (1i) Where a UK temporary amendment application is approved, the Secretary of State must specify the period during which the temporary amendment is to apply. (1j) The period during which an approved temporary amendment is to apply may be specified by reference to a set period of time or may be specified by reference to the happening of a specified event. (1k) The Secretary of State, in deciding the period for which an approved temporary amendment is to apply, must take into account the conditions prevailing at the time the decision to approve the application is taken and, where possible, the period for which the Secretary of State anticipates that those conditions will continue. (1l) The Secretary of State may, on an application by a group of producers or single applicant who made a UK temporary amendment application under paragraph 1a, as read with paragraph 1c, extend the period during which a relevant approved temporary amendment is to apply on one or more occasions if the Secretary of State considers that it is appropriate to do so having regard to the conditions prevailing at the time that decision is made. (1m) After making a decision on a UK temporary amendment application, the Secretary of State must publish in such manner as appears appropriate to the Secretary of State from time to time: (a) a notice: (i) informing the applicant, the original (protection) applicant (if different) and the public of the decision made in relation to the application and the reasons for that decision, and (ii) providing information about the right to appeal under Article 39a against the decision and the period within which an appeal may be made, and (b) where the application is approved, details of the approved temporary amendment and the period during which that temporary amendment is to apply. (1n) Where a UK temporary amendment application is approved and the period during which the temporary amendment is to apply is extended, the Secretary of State must, on each occasion the period is extended, publish, in such manner as appears appropriate to the Secretary of State from time to time, a notice informing the applicant, the original (protection) applicant (if different) and the public that the period has been extended and the reasons for that decision and specifying the extended period during which the temporary amendment is to apply.

(1) Unless paragraph 4 applies, an application to register a trade mark that was pending immediately before IP completion day or filed during the relevant period must be refused where, if the trade mark is registered, the use of the trade mark will not respect the definition in Article 112 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and the conditions of use in Article 113 of that Regulation in relation to a category A traditional term. (2) Unless paragraph 4 applies, an application to register a trade mark that was pending immediately before IP completion day or filed during the relevant period must be refused where: (a) if the trade mark is registered, the use of the trade mark will not respect the definition in Article 112 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and conditions of use in Article 113 of that Regulation in relation to a category B traditional term, and (b) after the application for the trade mark is accepted but before the trade mark is registered: (i) in the case of a type 2B traditional term: (aa) the international agreement referred to in paragraph (c) of column 2 of row 2 of the Types Table enters into force or the bridging arrangements referred to in that column are made, and (bb) the entry into force of the international agreement or the making of the bridging arrangements is brought to the attention of the registrar before the trade mark is registered; (ii) in the case of any other category B traditional term: (aa) the Secretary of State publishes an Article 115(2) approval notice relating to the traditional term, and (bb) the Article 115(2) approval notice is brought to the attention of the registrar before the trade mark is registered. (3) Where an application for a declaration of invalidity is made under the TMA (as applied by Article 32b(1) and modified by Article 32b(2)) in relation to the registration of a trade mark, the registration of the trade mark must be declared to be invalid, unless paragraph 4 applies, if: (a) the application to register the trade mark was pending immediately before IP completion day or filed during the relevant period, (b) the use of the trade mark does not, or will not, if used, respect the definition in Article 112 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and conditions of use in Article 113 of that Regulation in relation to a category B traditional term, and (c) in the case of a type 3B, 4B or 5B traditional term, the Secretary of State publishes an Article 115(2) approval notice relating to the traditional term on or after the day on which the trade mark application is accepted. (4) This paragraph applies where a column 5 date applies in relation to a category A or B traditional term and, taking account of any priority claimed in respect of an application to register the trade mark referred to in paragraph 1, 2 or 3(a) (as relevant) and on the basis of the information available to the registrar, it appears to the registrar that the date of filing of the trade mark application is earlier than the column 5 date that applies to the relevant traditional term. (5) As regards paragraphs 1 and 2, a column 5 date does not apply in relation to a type 2A, 3A or 4A traditional term where the EUIA referred to in paragraph (b) in column 2 of the row of the Types Table relating to the traditional term provides that an application for a trade mark must be refused, regardless of when that application is filed, if the trade mark, if registered, will contravene a provision in the EUIA providing for the protection of the use of the traditional term (6) As regards paragraph 3, a column 5 date does not apply in relation to a type 2B, 3B or 4B traditional term where the EUIA referred to in paragraph (b) in column 2 of the row of the Types Table relating to the traditional term provides that the registration of a trade mark must be invalidated if, regardless of when the application that resulted in the registration of the trade mark is filed, the use of the trade mark contravenes a provision in the EUIA providing for the protection of the use of the traditional term. (7) Where a traditional term falls within the definition of more than one type of traditional term in Article 1b, the column 5 date to be taken into account for the purpose of paragraph 4 is the earliest of the column 5 dates for the relevant types of traditional term. (8) In a case of a category A or B traditional term that is not on Great Britain's Traditional Terms Register at the time an assessment is carried out under paragraph 1, 2 or 3, the traditional term is to be treated, for the purpose of the assessment, as being a protected traditional term in determining whether the use of the trade mark will contravene Article 113 in relation to that traditional term. (9) A trade mark that could be used under Article 32(3) of EU Regulation 2019/33 in the United Kingdom immediately before IP completion day may continue to be used in Great Britain on and after IP completion day: (a) notwithstanding that the use of the trade mark would not respect the definition in Article 112 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and conditions of use in Article 113 of that Regulation in relation to a traditional term registered by the Secretary of State under this Regulation; (b) provided that no grounds for the invalidation or revocation of the trade mark exist in, or under, the TMA. (10) Nothing in this Regulation prevents a trade mark that could be renewed in the United Kingdom pursuant to Article 32(3) of EU Regulation 2019/33 immediately before IP completion day from being renewed after IP completion day: (a) notwithstanding that the use of the renewed trade mark would not respect the definition in Article 112 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and conditions of use in Article 113 of that Regulation in relation to a traditional term registered by the Secretary of State under this Regulation; (b) provided that no grounds for the invalidation or revocation of the trade mark exist in, or under, the TMA. (11) Where paragraph 9 or 10 applies to the use or renewal of a trade mark, this does not affect the use of: (a) an established protected traditional term entered on Great Britain's Traditional Terms Register pursuant to Article 39; (b) a traditional term entered on Great Britain's Traditional Terms Register by the Secretary of State following a decision by the Secretary of State to approve an application to protect the traditional term submitted under Article 21 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/34; (c) a traditional term entered on Great Britain's Traditional Terms Register by the Secretary of State under Article 25(3) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/34. (12) In this Article: (a) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (b) ‘a category A traditional term’ means a type 1, 2A, 3A, 4A or 5A traditional term; (c) ‘a category B traditional term’ means a type 2B, 3B, 4B or 5B traditional term; (d) ‘column 5 date’, in relation to a traditional term that is a category A or B traditional term, means the date specified, or provided for, in column 5 of the Types Table in the row relating to the relevant type of traditional term; (e) ‘date of filing’: (i) in the case of an EUTM-based trade mark application, means the filing date referred to in paragraph 25(2)(a)(i) of Schedule 2A to the TMA for the existing EUTM application; (ii) in the case of an ITM-based trade mark application, means: (aa) in the case of an application for the registration of a trade mark to which paragraph 28 of Schedule 2B to the TMA applies, the date referred to in paragraph 28(2)(a) of that Schedule for the existing ITM application or existing request for EU extension (as the case may be); (bb) in the case of an application for the registration of a trade mark to which paragraph 29 of Schedule 2B to the TMA applies, the date referred to in paragraph 29(2)(a) of that Schedule for the existing ITM application or existing request for EU extension (as the case may be); (iii) in any other case, has the meaning given by section 33 of the TMA; (f) ‘EUTM-based trade mark application’ means an application to register a trade mark to which paragraph 25(1) of Schedule 2A to the TMA applies that is made within the period specified in paragraph 25(2) of that Schedule; (g) ‘existing EUTM application’ has the same meaning as in paragraph 24 of Schedule 2A to the TMA; (h) ‘existing ITM application’ has the same meaning as in paragraph 27(1)(a) of Schedule 2B to the TMA; (i) ‘existing request for EU extension’ has the same meaning as in paragraph 27(1)(b) of Schedule 2B to the TMA; (j) ‘ITM-based trade mark application’ means an application to register a trade mark to which paragraph 28(1) or 29(1) of Schedule 2B to the TMA applies that is made within the period specified in paragraph 28(1)(c) or 29(1)(c) (as the case may be) of that Schedule; (k) ‘the registrar’ has the meaning given by section 62 of the TMA. (13) Any reference in this Article to: (a) ‘priority claimed in respect of an application’: (i) in the case of an EUTM-based trade mark application, means any priority claimed in respect of the existing EUTM application referred to in paragraph 25(2)(a)(ii) of Schedule 2A to the TMA; (ii) in the case of an ITM-based trade mark application, means any priority claimed in respect of the existing ITM application or the existing request for EU extension referred to in paragraph 28(2)(b) or 29(2)(b) (as the case may be) of Schedule 2B to the TMA; (iii) in any other case, means any priority claimed in respect of the application pursuant to section 35 of the TMA; (b) an application to register a trade mark that was ‘pending immediately before IP completion day’ is a reference to an application that was neither refused, nor resulted in the registration of the trade mark that is the subject of the application, before IP completion day; (c) a trade mark includes a reference to: (i) a collective mark as defined in section 49(1) of the TMA; (ii) a certification mark as defined in section 50(1) of the TMA.

(3) In determining such an appeal the FTT: (a) must consider the decision appealed against afresh; (b) may take into account evidence that was not available to the Secretary of State. (4) The FTT may: (a) dismiss the appeal, or (b) if it allows the appeal, exercise any power specified in the corresponding entry in column 3 of the table in Part 2 of Annex 2. (5) Where the FTT remits a matter to the Secretary of State for reconsideration and fresh decision: (a) the Secretary of State, after making a fresh decision, must publish, in such manner as appears appropriate to the Secretary of State from time to time, a notice informing the original applicant, the appellant (if different) and the public of that fresh decision and the reasons for that decision; (b) the provisions of this Chapter and Annex 2 apply to the fresh decision made by the Secretary of State. (6) An appeal made under paragraph 1 in relation to a decision of the Secretary of State specified in column 1 of the table in Part 2 of Annex 2 does not prevent an entry recorded on Great Britain's GIs Register by the Secretary of State following that decision from having effect. (7) The entry referred to in paragraph 6 continues to have effect, despite the appeal, unless the appeal is allowed by the FTT and: (a) in a case where the FTT quashes the Secretary of State's decision and directs the Secretary of State to take specified action, that action has been taken; (b) in a case where the FTT remits the matter to the Secretary of State for reconsideration and fresh decision, the relevant entry ceases to have effect as a result of consequent action taken in relation to the entry in the register following the fresh decision taken by the Secretary of State. (1) The Secretary of State may consider a decision specified in column 1 of the table in Part 2 of Annex 2 (‘the original decision’) afresh if evidence becomes available to the Secretary of State after making the original decision that was not available to the Secretary of State at the time of the original decision. (2) Paragraph 1 applies even though an appeal has been made in respect of the original decision. (3) Where the Secretary of State decides to consider an original decision afresh in a case where an appeal has been made to the FTT in respect of that decision: (a) the Secretary of State must notify the FTT of the Secretary of State's decision to consider the original decision afresh and publish, in such manner as appears appropriate to the Secretary of State from time to time, a notice informing the appellant, the original applicant (if different) and the public of that decision; (b) the appeal to the FTT is suspended until such time as the Secretary of State has made a fresh decision in relation to the matter; (c) the Secretary of State must, following the making of the fresh decision, notify the FTT of that decision and publish, in such manner as appears appropriate to the Secretary of State from time to time, a notice informing the appellant, the original applicant (if different) and the public of that decision and the reasons for that decision. (4) If the Secretary of State makes the same decision again, the appeal to the FTT restarts. (5) If the Secretary of State makes a different decision, the appeal to the FTT ceases unless the FTT directs otherwise.
