Today is the day that the State Patent Bureau of the Republic of Lithuania becomes even more trendy, modern and up-to-date. Today is the date that the Lithuanian patent office commences participation in the DAS system in four 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.
You heard this exciting news from me first, in my blog posting of May 4, 2023.
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.
