From 21-23 November, the Management Board and Budget Committee of EUIPO met at the Office’s headquarters in Alicante.

The Management Board decided to submit to the Council a proposal for the extension of the mandate of the President of the Boards of Appeal. The members also decided to extend the mandate of a member of the Boards of Appeal.

Moreover, the Members decided to launch the selection procedure for the post of Executive Director of the Office, vacant as from 1 July 2018, by publishing a vacancy notice.

The Members of the Management Board approved the Work Programme of the Office for 2018, and endorsed a Common Communication on the transposition of the new Directive concerning the representation of new types of trade marks.

Members of the Management Board adopted the definition for a new Convergence project (CP 10) on criteria for assessing disclosure of designs on the internet and authorised its launch.

Meanwhile, in its meeting of 23 November, the Budget Committee approved the 2018 Budget of the Office and elected its new Chairperson, Mr Sandris Laganovskis, from the Latvian Delegation, whose term of office will commence on 22 March.
