The Notice, which was made by the Federal Ministry of Justice pursuant to Section 8(2)(8) of the Law on the Protection of Trade Marks and other Signs, provides the exclusion from registration as trademarks of official signs or hallmarks of States and emblems of international intergovernmental organizations.
The exclusion concerns the emblem of the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (Eurocontrol), and the official signs indicating control and warranty for the safe electric appliances of Norway, e.g. the capital letter 'N' in a circle for 'NEMKO' (a Norwegian institution that supervises safety testing for electrical equipment manufacturing).
