The Council of State of the Thai Government is currently reviewing draft amendments to the Trademark Act. There are several proposals on the table, including: (1) the allowance of multiple-class applications; (2) the abolition of the “association” requirement for identical/similar marks owned by the same company; (3) the inclusion of “smell and sound” in the definition of a “trademark”; and (4) the introduction of a grace period for renewal applications. However, perhaps of most note is the amendment of “distinctiveness” under Section 7(2) of the act to include three-dimensional (3D) objects which are not the natural shapes of the goods applied for, are not functionally necessary, and whose shape does not add value to the goods.
