Article 62 shall be supplemented with wording establishing that if the Industrial Property Appeal Board has received an application for the recognition of trademark registration as invalid and it becomes aware that a case has been initiated in court in a dispute between the same parties to the case on the same subject matter and on the same basis in connection with the recognition of trademark registration invalid, the Industrial Property Appeal Board suspends the filing of the application until the final decision of the court in this case enters into force. Article 63 shall be supplemented with the wording establishing that if an application to the Industrial Property Appeal Board for the cancellation of the trademark registration, which is based on the actual non-use of the trademark, is submitted as a counter-submission in the case of objection to the trademark registration or in the case of declaring the trademark registration invalid, the Industrial Property Appeal Board shall take into account a period of five years of non-use, before an objection submission or a submission to declare the trademark registration invalid. Article 71 shall be supplemented with the wording stating that an interested person can submit an application to the Industrial Property Appeals Council for the declaration of invalidity or cancellation of a collective mark or a claim to the court for the cancellation or declaration of invalidity of the registration of a collective mark. Article 78 shall be supplemented with the wording ensuring that any person may submit an application to the Industrial Property Appeal Board or a claim to the court for the cancellation or invalidation of the registration of the certification mark.
