TRIPs AND TRADE MARKS


1 A quick request for information on TRIPs

IPKat co-blogmeister Jeremy is wondering whether very much has been written on the provisions of Article 17 the TRIPs Agreement that enable Member states to make exceptions to the trade mark right. He knows about the books by Daniel Gervais and Carlos Correa, but he'd like to find if anyone has written on this topic from a specifically trade mark-oriented perspective. If you can recommend any good reading, please email Jeremy here and tell him.


2 Intel v Intelsoft

The IPKat has picked up on a spat between Intel Corporation and Intelsoft Ltd, whose use of the term "intelsoft" on its website has not endeared it to the US chip giant. Subscription service All England Direct informs him that the court (Mr Justice Mann) has ordered the defendant's director to provide fuller and more informative answers to Intel's questions about its www.intelsoft.co.uk website.

The IPKat promises it will let you know what happens next ... if he can ever find out about it.

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.
