SUPREME COURT CIGARS; EUROPEAN HEARINGS


Smokin'

BusinessWire reports that the Supreme Court has refused to hear an appeal by Cubatabaco against the Second Circuit’s decision that General Cigars is entitled to own the COHIBA trade mark in the United States. The suit has been rumbling on since 1997.

View the evidence here.

The IPKat is going to refrain from making any comments about there being no smoke without fire.



Patent open hearing

If you find yourself in Brussels on 12 July, you’re in for a treat. The EU is holding a public hearing on the patent system, as step 2 of its public consultation on the future of European patent policy. Or at least, you would be in for a treat – despite the fact that the press release bears today’s date, registration closed on 5 June.

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.
