On July 1, 2023, the State Patent Bureau of the Republic of Lithuania will become even more trendy, modern and up-to-date. That is the date that the Lithuanian patent office will commence participation in the DAS system in four new ways:
-
- as a Depositing Office for purposes of national industrial design applications,
- as a Depositing Office for purposes of national trademark applications,
- as an Accessing Office for purposes of national industrial design applications, and
- as an Accessing Office for purposes of national trademark applications.
The Lithuanian patent office has already been a participant in the DAS system since January 1, 2023 in these ways:
-
- as a Depositing Office for purposes of national patent applications;
- as an Accessing Office for purposes of national patent applications; and
- as an Accessing Office for purposes of PCT patent applications.
The two-letter code (ISO-3166 code) for this Office is “LT”. The web site of the Lithuanian patent office may be seen here.
