가. 상표법 및 상표심사기준 개정, 니스 제10판(2012. 1. 1)에 대응할 수 있도록「유사상품․서비스업 심사기준」개정 등으로 서비스표 심사환경이 크게 변화되었으며
나. 주요 개정 내용으로는 지리적표시 보호제도, 소리․냄새, 증명표장제도, 법정손해보상제도 및 비밀유지명령제도 도입, 백화점업 등 종합소매점업의 정식 명칭인정, 유사군 코드의 신설․변경, 지정서비스업의 삭제, 서비스업과 상품과의 유사 여부 판단기준이 변경됨에 따라 『서비스표 심사 세부처리지침 및 요령』의 개정이 필요하게 되었음.
다. 이에 따라 이번 개정 작업에서는 그동안의 법령 및 심사기준 개정사항을 반영하고 서비스표심사 내부처리방침으로 결정된 사안과 법원 판례 등을 추가하여 모든 심사관이 심사의 어려움이 없이 심사가 가능하도록 내용을 충실하게 반영하는데 그 역점을 두고 작성하였음. 1) 첫째, 『유사상품․서비스업 심사기준』의 변경에 따른 유사군 해설, 판단기준, 분류요령 등을 상세히 다루었음. 2) 둘째, 종전에는 수리·수선업, 특수가공업, 임대대여업 등에서 그 지정서비스업의 대상이 되는 상품을 개별적 구체적으로 비교 판단했으나, 2012년 3월부터는 원칙적으로 견련성이 없는 것으로 결정하였음. 3) 셋째, 서비스표 심사의 판례경향 등을 참조하기 위하여 상품관련 “심판결례및 심사사례 반영목록”을 수록하였고, 특허법원, 대법원 등의 신규판례를 반영하였음 4) 넷째, 각종 심사요령, 통지서 작성요령 및 처리방법 등을 다루어 모든 심사관등이 쉽게 활용할 수 있도록 하였음
