After Brexit came into effect on 31 January 2020, a transition period came into force, which will run until 31 December 2020. During this period, the UK will continue to be treated as an EU member state, giving IP owners further time to prepare for Britain's exit from the EU. Download our handy checklist for an overview of the steps to take, both during and after the transition period, to ensure your registered and unregistered European trademark and design rights, and associated rights and agreements, remain protected and enforceable when the UK exits the EU.
