Publication of Cautionary Notice

      Publication of trademark/service mark cautionary notice plays a great part of a trademark/service mark. Therefore, publication of cautionary notice in local newspaper should follow soon after the completion of registration of a trademark/service mark. The purpose of publishing a cautionary notice is to keep reminding the public the ownership of the trademark/service mark and thereby warding off a potential infirnger or imitation. Publication of cautionary notice puts weight on the ownership of a trademark/service mark in case of litigation at a court, if there is any. However, it is not compulsory nor a stipulation by any law. It is an established practice in Myanmar. Also, publication of cautionary notice is usually repeated after every three year. Additionally of course, such a publication has a definite trade advertising and commercial value.
