WORKING GROUP MINUTES



The IPKat has been perusing the minutes of the Trade Mark Registry’s Registration Practice Working Group’s latest meeting. Gems of information include:
*There is to be a consideration of how department stores should list the goods that they sell for the purpose of registering marks for retail services.

*The “Vodka” PAN will be withdrawn in the light of Geoffrey Hobbs QC’s consideration of the appreciation of consumers of words in foreign languages by consumers.

*A report is to be produced to the Registry’s relationship with Companies House.

*The issue of press understanding of the differences between the various IP rights [a bugbear of the IPKat] was raised.

*The Registry is working on a new suite of fees, which it hopes to have ready by this time next year.

*Although the proteciton of the Olympic symbol through the Olympic Bill was raised, this was the responsibility of the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, and not the Department of Trade and Industry (of which the Registry is a part).

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.
