Montenegro PTO Starts Substantive Examination of Trademark Applications

In October 2009, the Montenegrin PTO started substantive examinations of trademark applications.

Within the substantive examination, the PTO is examining applications on both the absolute and the relative grounds.

The Montenegrin PTO opened in May 2008, after the separation of the Union of Serbia and Montenegro in June 2006.
