4th July 2019
3PB Barristers are delighted to host CITMA's first Midlands lecture of the year at our Birmingham Chambers.
Programme Outline
Recent trade mark decisions are beginning to impact the future of trade mark applications: 3PB IP Barrister Victoria Jones will share her insights and forecasts, outlining what we can now register as a trade mark, and the specifications applied to marks.
Victoria will also review the CJEU reference in Sky v SkyKick, where the telecoms giant claimed infringement against the cloud management software provider; understand the impact this has had and how it might change future proceedings.
Finally, Victoria will cover applications of the new wording of Article 7(1)(e)(iii), and the latest attempts to register marks that push the boundaries of trade mark law.
