Statute overview

About this statute

This provision changes the trademark definition so a sign no longer needs graphic representation, but it must distinguish goods or services and be representable in the register clearly and precisely. The Government is delegated to issue one or more legislative decrees within 12 months to implement EU trademark rules and align national law. The Government must adopt legislative decrees for EU directive transposition within the time limits set here, and may later issue corrective or supplementary provisions under specified conditions. This article sets general rules for implementing EU law through legislative decrees, including simplification, no gold-plating above EU minimums, and sanctions where needed. This article sets the procedure for legislative decrees: the President of the Republic enacts them, the Government must send the text in time, and in some cases the Chambers must be consulted.
