When is the Global ACI MRA Mark considered “legally available”?

For the purposes of transition and enforcement, the Global ACI MRA Mark is considered legally available in a given economy when:

  • the applicable trademark opposition or objection period has expired without objection, or
  • any objection has been finally resolved in favour of registration, and
  • the Mark may be lawfully used in that economy.

The Secretariat will formally notify accreditation bodies when this condition is met.
