The IPKat's superbly-updated 'Forthcoming Events' feature, which occupies a large slice of space on the left-hand side-bar of this weblog's front page, currently lists 31 conferences, seminars and events for your delectation. FREE events are listed in a cheerful blue.
It's new address time for the Class 46 European trade mark weblog. Up till now it has only been accessible via the somewhat cumbersome class46.blogspot.com, but now that site has been given the far classier class46.eu tag. Run by a ten-person team of bloggers from around Europe, Class 46 has posted over 1,000 items of European trade mark news in its first year, all of which are searchable and carry links to their sources.
Bad news for Bad Danes and their nefarious accomplices: earlier this week the Danish government adopted an important Bill setting out to strengthen the fight against violators of IP rights. This Bill is part of the Danish government's list of initiatives which have been set out specifically to strengthen efforts to prevent counterfeiting. Full details are available from the Class 46 weblog here -- or you can read it in the original Danish here.
Good news lurks around the corner for anyone interested in design protection in Oman. According to a WIPO Press Release the Sultanate of Oman has acceded to the Geneva Act of the Hague Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Industrial Designs. The operative date for this Agreement to come into force for Oman is 4 March 2009.

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.
