Read a random definition: sororicide
A quick definition of Community Trademark Treaty:
Community Trademark Treaty: A treaty made in 1996 that allows someone who wants to protect their trademark to file just one application with the European Trademark Office instead of having to file a separate application in each country in the European Union. This means that they can protect their trademark in all the countries in the European Union with just one application. It doesn't matter if the person filing the application is from a member country or not.
A more thorough explanation:
The Community Trademark Treaty is an agreement made in 1996 that allows a person or company to apply for trademark protection in all European Union countries with just one application. This means that instead of filing separate applications in each country, the applicant can file a single application with the European Trademark Office.
For example, if a company wants to protect their brand name in all EU countries, they can file a single application with the European Trademark Office instead of filing separate applications in each country.
It's important to note that the applicant doesn't have to be a citizen of a member nation to file an application. This means that anyone can apply for trademark protection in the EU, regardless of where they are from.
