MARQUES Class 46 reports the decision of the Executive Director of the EUIPO, adopting the Guidelines for Examination of European Union Trade Marks and Registered Community Designs. The changes will be discussed in a webinar to take place on 10 January 2017 and will be the subject of an article to be published on 3 January 2017 in the Alicante News newsletter. The new Guidelines will enter into force on 1 February 2017.
The Fashion Law blogs the 2016 Out-of-Cycle Review of Notorious Markets List published by the Office of the United States Trade Representative. The List “highlights prominent online and physical marketplaces that reportedly engage in and facilitate substantial copyright piracy and trademark counterfeiting”. Don't miss it!
Moving to copyright, Ben Challis summarizes in edifying and enjoyable detail on The 1709 Blog the highlights of 2016 in the copyright field, including GS Media case, Digital Single Market proposal, PETA’s copyright infringement suit, Google legal fight over for creating a digital library, and YouTube liability in Germany and the USA, among other topics.
CREATe announces a PhD Scholarship in collaboration with the international Law firm CMS. The PhD project involves legal aspects of data and digital innovation at the University of Glasgow. An internship at CMS is also part of the scholarship. Applications should be sent to Joy.Davidson@glasgow.ac.uk before 30 January 2017.
Moving to privacy matters, RE:MARKS ON TRADEMARK AND COPYRIGHT discusses the changes included in the leaked draft of the new Regulation that will replace the ePrivacy Directive. The changes provide for a monetary sanction of 4% of organizations’ worldwide annual revenues for non-compliance with the Directive as well as other provisions that will impact on organizations using tools for monitoring online activities.

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.
