Never Too Late: If you missed the IPKat last week

If you missed the IP headlines last week, don't worry. The 105th edition of Never Too Late is to bring you up to date with the short but select handful of stories from last week.

High Court summarily dismisses Seretide combination colour mark
The IPKat, feeling like a basket case

For those readers who fancy a change from Brexit and UPC-fate related news, preferring instead a reminder of good, old fashioned IP cases, you are in luck. A couple of weeks ago, His Honour Judge Hacon (sitting in the High Court) handed down his decision in Glaxo v Sandoz [2016] EWHC 1537 in which he was asked by Sandoz to determine, on a summary judgment application, whether Glaxo's EU Trade Mark No 3890126 was invalid. The answer - yes. Luke Maunder (Bristows LLP) reports on the decision which will be interest to anyone who loves color combination trade marks or trying to figure out how to precisely and clearly ring fence the scope of trade mark protection

What is the best forum for resolving patent and FRAND/SEP disputes? It depends on who you ask... On the last day of June, the London offices of Allen & Overy LLP hosted the First Joint Seminar on SEP/FRAND Mediation and Arbitration, co-organised by Queen Mary University of London’s School of International Arbitration (SIA) and the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center. For those who were unable to make it to Bishop's Square, some Kat friends who had less distance to travel - in the form of Elettra Bietti and Taly Dvorkis (both of A&O) - report on the event.

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.
