On July 15, 2013, OHIM hosted the first of 2 meetings of a preparatory working group established within the framework of the Harmonisation of Classification project (CP1).
The Harmonisation of Classification Project is one of the most advanced projects within the Convergence Programme.
This preparatory group will advance the work further during the summer period and bring their results to the whole CP1 working group for approval shortly after summer (September 12).
One of the main focuses of this session will be the elaboration of a Common Communication on the latest achievements in this project that is planned to be published by the end of this year, as well as to continue the work on the establishment of common criteria in the field of classification of good and services.
