IDG is here to bring you an official announcement from Myanmar government. On 28 August 2020, the Ministry of Trade and Commerce Department in Myanmar announced an Order for the new trademark registration system.
The new trademark registration system will start on 1 October 2020. The registered trademarks under the old system and the unregistered trademarks that are already in use in the local Myanmar market are entitled to apply for registration under New Trademark Law.
According to this Order, registered and unregistered trademark owners can be re-registered through law firms or IP services companies in Myanmar to maintain their trademark protection.
