With a discussion of a recent judgment of the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, IP Watchdog warns influencers that unauthorised use of street art e.g. in the background of a sponsored Instagram post, may result in claims from the right-holder.

The Fashion Law published an interesting discussion of the 'blandification' of fashion logos and websites, which suggests a number of possible factors encouraging the homogenisation of visual presentation in the digital age.
Part 2 of the German Trademark Law Modernisation Act (MaMoG) came into force at the start of this month, with an overview of the changes it brings over on the Legal-Patent blog.
China's Supreme People's Court has recently announced a large number of intellectual property decisions, including one on trade mark infringement in relation to OEM goods for export. MARQUES' Blog 46 has commented on the Honda judgment 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.
