Copyright
The 1709 Blog reports upon the possibility to protect the Milly Rock Dance as copyright in Copyright a dance step?

Patents
The Kluwer Patent blog reports on the EPO Board of Appeal's decision in case T 1063/18 and the following Patent Law Committee meeting which addressed different potential options and supported measures to obtain an opinion from the Enlarged Board of Appeal. The decision held that plants which are produced according to essentially biological processes need to be held patentable contrary to the 2017 EPO Guidelines introduced in 2017 to exclude them from patentability.
Patentlyo discusses the question if the United States Government counts as "a person who is not the owner of a patent" in case Return Mail Inc. v. U.S. Postal Service.
Trade marks
IPwatchdog reports on the hearing in Mission Product Holdings, Inc. v. Tempnology, LLC and one of the most important issues between trade mark law and bankruptcy law: whether a debtor-licensor's rejection of a trade mark licence terminates the right of the licensee to use the trade mark. This matter is also analysed by Patentlyo.
IPlens reports on the L'Oréal case and the Landoll case, two recent decisions on selective distribution and infringement of luxury trademark from the Court of Milan.

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.
