Monday, 11 December 2017, Brussels: Sixty years ago the Benelux cooperation began amongst the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the Kingdom of Belgium as well as the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and ten years ago with the German federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia.
During a council held at Benelux General Secretariat in Brussels, the occasion was marked but moreover a protocol on the protection of intellectual property was signed amongst the participants.
The latest change in the Benelux Treaty aims at simplifying the registration of intellectual property but likewise to harmonise marketing law in the Benelux and NRW.
