			<description>In Mexico we have a similar situation. The Mexican Patent and Trademark Office (MPTO) usually rejects three-dimensional trademark application for the shape of products.

A few months ago we attempted to register the shape of a jig-saw; the result was the rejection of the application. Later, the Federal Court of Tax and Administrative Affairs and the federal Court of Appeals affirmed the ruling of the MPTO. I know there have been rejections in Europe for three dimensional trademarks concerning the shape of tools and other devices. - Arturo D. Reyes</description>
