TRADEMARK WORLD


Another bulky envelope that thudded through the IPKat's letterbox this weekend was the November issue of Informa's ten-times-a year magazine Trademark World. The cover story, provided by Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer lawyers Dinah Nissen and Giles Pratt, deals with the development of that favourite (but often unsuccessful) defence to trade mark infringement that "I was only using my own name, honestly ...". Other features in this issue include the following:

* A "don't forget the real victims" piece by Jeannie Smith (Baker & McKenzie's Hong Kong office) on how local Chinese brand owners are the people who really suffer from their countrymen's prodigious appetite for making counterfeit products;

* An analysis by SJ Berwin's Paul Cox of the evolution of the Norwich Pharmacal order as a way for trade mark owners to dig up useful information relating to infringements.

The IPKat likes the "Last Word" column too ...

No comments:

All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.

It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
