EUTM. 
(2) Subject to any agreement to the contrary, a con sent granted before exit day by 
the proprietor of an existing EUTM to the doing on or after exit day of an act in the 
United Kingdom which would otherwise infringe the c omparable trade mark (EU) 
which derives from the existing EUTM is to be treat ed for the purposes of section 9 
as a consent to the doing of that act. 
Existing EUTM: pending proceedings 
20. —(1) This paragraph applies where on exit day an ex isting EUTM is the subject 
of proceedings which are pending (“pending proceedi ngs”) before a court in the

Chapter 10 of the European Union Trade Mark Regulat ion (with the exception of 
Articles 128(2), (4), (6) and (7) and 132) continue  to apply to the pending 
proceedings as if the United Kingdom were still a M ember State with effect from 
exit day. 
(3) Where the pending proceedings involve a claim f or infringement of an existing 
EUTM, without prejudice to any other relief by way of damages, accounts or 
otherwise available to the proprietor of the existi ng EUTM, the EU trade mark court 
may grant an injunction to prohibit unauthorised us e of the comparable trade mark 
(EU) which derives from the existing EUTM. 
(4) Where the pending proceedings involve a counter claim for the revocation of, or 
a declaration of invalidity in relation to, an exis ting EUTM, the EU trade mark court 
may revoke the registration of the comparable trade  mark (EU) which derives from 
the existing EUTM or declare the registration of th e comparable trade mark (EU) 
which derives from the existing EUTM to be invalid.  
(5) Where the grounds for revocation or invalidity exist in respect of only some of 
the goods or services for which the existing EUTM i s registered, the revocation or 
declaration of invalidity in respect of the registr ation of the comparable trade mark 
(EU) which derives from the existing EUTM relates t o those goods or services only. 
(6) Where (by virtue of sub-paragraph (4)) the regi stration of a comparable trade 
mark (EU) is revoked to any extent, the rights of t he proprietor are deemed to have 
ceased to that extent as from—

(b) if the court is satisfied that the grounds for revocation existed at an earlier 
date, that date. 
(7) Where (by virtue of sub-paragraph (4)) the regi stration of a comparable trade 
mark (EU) is declared invalid to any extent, the re gistration is to that extent to be 
deemed never to have been made, provided that this does not affect transactions past 
and closed.

day if they were instituted but not finally determi ned before exit day.  32 Existing EUTM: effect of injunction

effect and be enforceable to prohibit the performan ce of acts which infringe or would 
infringe a comparable trade mark (EU) to the same e xtent as in relation to the

if it were an injunction granted by the court.

on and after exit day as if an application had been  made, and the trade mark had been

(2) Where the international registration to which a n international trade mark is 
subject is sub-divided to reflect the making of mor e than one request for territorial 
extension to the European Union under Article 3ter there is to be deemed for the 
purposes of sub-paragraph (1) to be a separate trad e mark in respect of the goods or 
services covered by each subdivision of the registr ation. 
(3) Where the international registration to which a n international trade mark is 
subject has been created by virtue of Rule 27(2) (r ecording of partial change in 
ownership) (a “separate international registration” ), it is irrelevant for the purposes 
of the application of subparagraph (2) to that sepa rate international registration that 
the requests for territorial extension were made be fore the separate international 
registration was created. 
(4) A registered trade mark which comes into being by virtue of sub-paragraph (1)

application), the date of registration of the exist ing IR(EU) accorded 
pursuant to Article 3(4); or 
(b) where the protection in the European Union of t he existing IR(EU) from 
which the comparable trade mark (IR) derives result ed from a request for 
territorial extension under Article 3 ter (2) (subsequent request), the date on

and that date is deemed for the purposes of this Ac t to be the date of registration. 
(7) Section 40(3) and (4) does not apply to the reg istration of a comparable trade 
mark (IR) under this Part. 
(8) Section 67(1) applies in relation to the provis ion of information and the 
inspection of documents relating to a comparable tr ade mark (IR) notwithstanding 
that there will have been no application under this  Act for the registration of the trade 
mark (and so no publication of an application). 
(9) Any fee provided for by regulations under Sched ule 4 to the European Union 
(Withdrawal) Act 2018 in respect of any matter rela ting to a comparable trade mark 
(IR) applies in the Isle of Man in respect of that matter.

be treated on and after exit day as if it had a val id claim to seniority of the senior 
mark. 
(3) Accordingly, where the proprietor of the compar able trade mark (IR) 
surrenders the senior mark or allows it to lapse (w hether wholly or partially), subject 
to paragraph 15, the proprietor of the comparable t rade mark (IR) is deemed to 
continue to have the same rights as the proprietor would have had if the senior mark 
had continued to be registered in respect of all th e goods or services for which it was 
registered prior to the surrender or lapse. 
(4) An existing IR(EU) has a valid claim to seniori ty of a trade mark where— 
(a) a claim has been filed in accordance with Artic le 191 or 192 of the 
European Union Trade Mark Regulation in respect of the international 
registration to which the existing IR(EU) is subjec t; and

European Union Trade Mark Regulation (as it applies  to international 
registrations under Article 182 of that Regulation)  in respect of the 
existing IR(EU) from which the comparable trade mar k (IR) derives,

 (ii) where there has been a claim of priority, the  priority date accorded 
pursuant to a right of priority claimed pursuant to  Article 35 of the 
European Union Trade Mark Regulation in respect of the existing 
IR(EU) from which the comparable trade mark (IR) de rives; or 
(b) declared invalid under section 47, 
the seniority claimed for the comparable trade mark  (IR) is to be treated as if it never 
had effect. 
(4) Where pursuant to paragraph 14 a comparable tra de mark (IR) is treated as if it 
had a valid claim to seniority of a protected inter national trade mark (UK) which has 
been—

European Union Trade Mark Regulation (as it applies  to international 
registrations under Article 182 of that Regulation)  in respect of the 
existing IR(EU) from which the comparable trade mar k (IR) derives, 
the deemed date of registration of the comparable t rade mark (IR); or 
 (ii) where there has been a claim of priority, the  priority date accorded 
pursuant to a right of priority claimed pursuant to  Article 35 of the 
European Union Trade Mark Regulation in respect of the existing 
IR(EU) from which the comparable trade mark (IR) de rives; or 
(b) declared invalid under section 47, 
the seniority claimed for the comparable trade mark  (IR) is to be treated as if it never 
had effect.

respect of the existing IR(EU) is to be disregarded  for the purposes of sub-
paragraphs (3)(a)(ii) and (6)(a)(ii) unless the req uest for territorial extension was 
recorded in the International Register within a per iod of six months beginning with 
the day after the priority date recorded in the Int ernational Register in respect of the 
international application for protection of the tra de mark which is the same as the 
one in respect of which the request for territorial  extension was filed. 
(8) References in sub-paragraphs (5) and (6) to sec tions 46 and 47 are to those 
sections as they apply to a protected international  trade mark (UK) under an order 
made pursuant to section 54.
