Never Too Late: If you missed the IPKat last week!

We all love a good wrap-up, so here’s last week on the IPKat in a nutshell!

Katfriends Rudi Mathieu and Theodora Stamos contributed a guest post to The IPKat, discussing relatively recent amendments to Belgian law aimed at combating online piracy and the country’s first court order granting a dynamic and live blocking injunction.

Patents

Rose Hughes analysed case T 0722/24, in which the EPO upheld a patent for an enzalutamide formulation, rejecting arguments about lack of inventive step.

Trade Marks

Marcel Pemsel reported on the General Court’s judgment in case T-372/24, clarifying that storefront use of a trade mark in single-brand stores is not sufficient by itself to prove genuine use for all goods sold within, and that invoices not reproducing the trade mark may still constitute relevant evidence of use if they can be linked to the goods.

Oliver Fairhurst covered a failed attempt by Cornices Centre Ltd (CCL) to use trade mark law against a cyclist’s YouTube video, which led to unjustified threats, online pile-on, and a rejected harassment injunction.

The IPKat Team

The IPKat team welcomed Wissam Bentazar, a PhD candidate in Law at Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU), and Kliment Markov, a lawyer at CWB, as new InternKats. 

Söğüt Atilla, Oliver Fairhurst, and Marcel Pemsel will continue to contribute as GuestKats, and Simone Lorenzi as an InternKat. 

The IPKat also thanked and bid farewell to GuestKat Alessandro Cerri and InternKat Asude Sena Moya.

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.
