Kenya's IP Institute Releases Drafting instructions to Repeal Trade Marks Act Rules

The Kenyan Industrial property Institute (KIPI) together with its stakeholders made proposals to repeal the Trade Marks Act, Cap 506 of the Laws of Kenya. These proposals were accepted and in 2015 forwarded to the Attorney General’s Office towards drafting a new Act.

In order to align the provisions of the subsidiary legislation to the New Act, KIPI has prepared drafting instructions to repeal the Trade Mark Rules, which will be forwarded to the Attorney General's Office for drafting.
