2.2 Content of the application as "originally" filed – general rules

Overview

2.2.9 Trade marks 

If an amendment is made in order to clarify the meaning of a trade mark or to replace a registered trade mark with a corresponding technical term, the examining division needs to be particularly careful to ascertain that the amendment does not conflict with Art. 123(2). The composition of a trade-marked product may have changed over time.
