Those doubts are evidently within or along the lines of the French courts' concerns and a conclusion to take those into account is that:- the remedies ordered by a CTM court properly finding both infringement and validity under EU law, on the issues and evidence before it, should apply EU-wide as a default, but that the court should retain a discretion to limit its ordered remedies within the EU eg to address issues of (non-)similarity of marks between different EU member… [read post]

By 2004, the reputation of the deep-fried Mars bar had travelled the Atlantic [which makes the IPKat wonder about the extent to which a brand owner may invoke evidence of unsolicited and unwanted reputation in support of its own trade marks ...] and it was mentioned on the Jay Leno Show in the US [ ... though, presumably the mere mention of the brand in this manner wouldn't be 'trade mark use' under European law, the Kat adds]....

Attendees included the one of the founders of Boney M, the IPO, one of the organisers of the Notting Hill Carnival, assorted music producers and, bringing up the rear, a liberal mixture of lawyers [The Kat notices that it is the mixture which is liberal, not the lawyers ...].The meeting covered a whistle-stop tour of the history of copyright, copyright developments in the US and Europe contrasted with the UK, the problems associated with illegal downloads (as yet, unsurprisingly, unsolved)… [read post]
