It was our great pleasure to assist on a cross-border project “CEFTA Intellectual Property and Related Rights 2021-03”. The specific purpose of the project was to support developing a regional legal framework on trade-related aspects of intellectual property, related EU Acquis and best European practices and standards.

The Joint Committee of CEFTA now adopted the Decision on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, applicable to CEFTA Parties. This Decision represents a major step towards better protection of Intellectual Property Rights within CEFTA Parties, fostering stronger economic cooperation, and eliminating trade barriers related to Intellectual Property Rights.

We are proud to have contributed to the drafting of this Decision together with the Secretariat of CEFTA, EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office), representatives of CEFTA Parties, and our dear colleagues from bh.legal. 

Vukmir & Associates team included partner Mladen Vukmir, senior attorney Aleksandar Bijelić, and attorney Lidija Gepert.
