IPKat is here with your update on the news and events in the world of IP!
First, a question to readers...In connection with comparative research for an upcoming publication, an IPKat reader is keen to hear from members of the IPKat community on how Article 131(1) EUTM, regarding the seeking of provisional measures in relation to the enforcement of European Union trademarks (and corresponding art. 90(1) CDR) have been applied in various local jurisdictions. In particular, he is interested in decisions or literature holding that “non-EU trade mark courts” or “non-Community Design courts” have jurisdiction to grant such provisional measures. Please reply here.

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.
