I reckon they take a look at who has referred the questions and think: "Oh no, it's the UK again'. Far too technical. Can we get out of answering ?" <BR/><BR/>So, come on ECJ - what exactly are your thoughts on trade marks arising out of eg patent monopolies ?<BR/><BR/>For the benefit of IPKat readership, I will speculate below on what their answer may have been had they got round to the questions.<BR/><BR/>"There is no barrier to a patent becoming a trade mark if it performs the relevant function blah, blah, blah. Moreover, trade marks can arise regardless of the onwner's motive, intention blah, blah."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
