Trademark Journal on Every Monday

The Controller General of Patents, Trademarks and Designs, in a public notice dated 30-08-2010 announced that the Trademarks Journal will be published on all Mondays starting from 06-09-2010.

Hope this time the Patent Office will be successful in keeping its promise, if IPO does so it will be really helpful for the people who will be waiting for the journal for days together.

Interestingly in that Public Notice they have highlighted All Mondays, so I think they are going to publish it even on those Mondays that comes as Holidays.
