AIPPI UK Upcoming Event: Professor Bently to debate how far the "zone of exclusivity" of registered IP rights goes

There has been a lot of discussion and debate on the scope of IP rights lately, especially those subject to registration systems.  How do the rightsholders capture the scope of their monopoly?  How do the Courts interpret the extent of their monopoly?  Should the Courts interpret claims in a way that are favorable to the rightsholder or is the form of the registration the beginning and end of the story?  AIPPI UK will be exploring those topical questions with Professor Lionel Bently (University of Cambridge) on 27 February 2018.  Details as follows:
Event:  Registration, Notice and Property Definition in IP Law 
Who:  Professor Lionel Bently, University of Cambridge
Date:  Tuesday, 27 February 2018
Time:  5:30PM for 6PM
Where:  Bristows LLP, 100 Victoria Embankment, London EC4Y 0DH 
What:  Recent cases in the Supreme Court, such as Trunki and Actavis, as well as CJEU rulings such as Specsavers and Grupo Promer, have refocused attention on the perplexing question of the relationship between claiming and representation of intangible properties in the IP registers and the scope of protection conferred by such registration. Taking a horizontal perspective, this talk asks how far trade mark, design and patent registration systems are intended, and how far they are able, to define precisely the property or “zone of exclusivity” granted to the rightholder.

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.
