The IPKat has been very active this past week! Have you had a chance to read the latest posts? If not, here is a quick recap!
"Cosmic Kitten" by Bold Frontiers is marked with CC BY 2.0.
GuestKat Sophie Corke reports on a recent case involving the German whisky “Glen Buchenbach” which, despite being labelled as a German product, infringes the Scotch geographical indication according to a recent decision by the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in Hamburg. Background, legal framework, outcome of the decision and commentary can be found here.
PermaKat Eleonora Rosati reminds you of the “Retromark” conference, which will be hosted by Darren Meale of Simmons & Simmons and the IPKat on Tuesday 24 May 2022. Be sure to register quickly! The full agenda and registration can be found here.
GuestKat Jan Jacobi analyses the impact of Brexit on EUTM injunctions. The focus is on a recent case decided before the Dutch District Court of The Hague on the impact of the Withdrawal Agreement (in particular Articles 54(1)(a) and 67 - in this case) on EU trade mark proprietors when exercising their rights in the UK.
Our beloved Merpel reminds you of the launch of an initiative to establish a "Repository of Non-English IP Titles" for titles published since 2000. The Repository will collect, on a country-by-country basis, information on IP books (including book series and collections with multiple editors) published in a language other than English. More information can be found here.
The Institute for Intellectual Property and Market Law (IFIM) at Stockholm University will host an online conference on Tuesday, March 15, 2022, from 14:00-16:00 CET to discuss the current state and future of patent law and regulatory rights in the field of personalised medicine. Our GuestKat Frantzeska Papadopoulou will be one of the speakers.
KatFriends Despoina Dimitrakopoulou and Simon Fritsch discussed the concept of authorship in copyright law and an authorship dilemma in the context of the "Paris Bar" in Berlin and the German artist Martin Kippenberger.

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.
