Enforcing And Protecting Trade Marks

Analysing critical legal developments to ensure effective protection and enforcement of trade marks

Introduction

Trade mark law is evolving rapidly in Europe’s highest courts. Following the recent L’Oreal v eBay decision, online marketplaces are no longer able to claim exemption from liability of trade mark infringements. The interrelationship between community trade marks and the UK trade mark system is subject to intense scrutiny and a number of eagerly anticipated judgments including Interflora v M&S and Nokia v HMRC are set to transform the current legal landscape still further.

Chaired by Peter Brownlow of Bird & Bird LLP, our unrivalled speaker panel including 3 leading QCs and industry experts from Mars and Vodafone, will provide you with a deep understanding of these critical developments to ensure the effective protection and enforcement of trade marks.
