Myanmar: MIPD issues office actions for Trade Mark Applications

The Myanmar Intellectual Property Department (MIPD) has started issuing office actions to applicants to comply with requirements for trade mark applications. The deadline for responding to an office action is 30 days from date of receipt of the office action (extendible for 30 days up to four times), after which the trade mark will be treated as withdrawn. This is a positive development showing the progress being made under Myanmar's IP regime.
