  2. The heading gives a misleading impression that this post only relates to Brexit issues around Ireland and Northern Ireland. Wouldn't a mention of IP be appropriate?

  3. Quite clear that the UPC is excluded from consideration, since it is not mentioned in the list of relevant rights.

  4. To add to Cherrypicker's point, and unless I have missed it, there does not appear to be any mention howsoever of rights of audience and representation, reciprocal or otherwise.

    There are a lot of demands [these are guidelines, but any assiduous observer of the UK/EU negotiations should know to construe them as such by now] by the EU about the transposition of EU concepts into UK law (GIs, EU UDR, EUTM seniority, etc.) and it'll be interesting to see what the UK side makes of it.

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.
