IPKat's co-master Jeremy has just drafted a case note on the decision of the Court of First Instance of the European Communities in Case T-399/02 Eurocermex v OHIM. This case involves an application to register, as a Community trade mark, a three-dimensional sign consisting of a glass bottle containing yellow liquid, in the neck of which is inserted a wedge of green-skinned lemon. This seems a curious sort of trade mark, since it appears to depend upon the bottle being opened and its contents being served, perhaps to the ultimate consumer. If you'd like to read it, please email the IPKat and a copy will be sent to you. All comments, however critical, will be welcome.

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.
