No. The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union due to Brexit became effective as of February 1, 2020, although there was a transitional period until December 31, 2020. The trademarks that were registered in the European Union up to that date were created in the United Kingdom to maintain their protection. However, those that were not granted registration by that date need to be refiled in the United Kingdom. Applicants have until September 30, 2021 to refile their trademarks in the United Kingdom in order to maintain the filing date of the European Union application.
