28/05/2019 – Myanmar: the new Trademark Law contains GIs provisions

Legislation Law PoliciesEarlier this year, the Myanmar Trademark Law and Industrial Design Law was finally enacted. GIs, including foreign ones, are now able to obtain protection in Myanmar through registration.

In 2017, oriGIn had submitted a contribution to the competent local authorities, to welcome the provisions of the draft law concerning the registration of GIs and to request the explicit extension to GIs of administrative, civil and criminal remedies against infringements. We will provide the English version of the new law as soon as it is available.
