EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order amends various time periods prescribed in the Trade Marks (International Registration)
Order 2008 ( S.I. 2008/2206 ) by substituting a reference to “beginning immediately after” for the
references to “beginning with”, so that when computing a period of time by reference to a relevant
event, the date on which the relevant event occurred is not included.
A full regulatory impact assessment of the effect that this instrument will have on the costs of
business and the voluntary sector is available from the Intellectual Property Office, Trade Marks Law

Memorandum alongside the instrument on www.legislation.gov.uk.
