Hot Topics in Trade Mark Law: Be distinguished in the modern world
This full day conference is a must for anyone who works in the trade mark and IP world.
Trade marks build customer trust, assure quality and provide key legal protection for brands. Intellectual property (IP) rights are increasingly becoming some of the most valuable assets for businesses, allowing them a competitive edge in the marketplace. It is critical that solicitors are up-to-date with the latest developments and well-equipped to better protect and enforce rights.
Designed to provide essential updates, this event covers a range of topical issues and is chaired by Robert Buchan at Brodies LLP. You will hear from expert speakers including Mark Cruickshank from Brodies LLP, Colin Hulme from Burness Paull Ltd, David Woods from Pinsent Masons, Natalie Charlick from Royal Bank of Scotland and Campbell Newell from Marks & Clerk LLP.
Subjects covered include:
• The protection and trade marking of colours
• Plain packaging for tobacco and whether this removes the ability to use trade marks and brands
• Protecting brands and trade marks on the internet, including social media
• Apple shop layouts - an evolution in the protection of brands?
After attending this conference you will:
• Understand how to protect brands on the internet, particularly on social media, and recognise the importance of this
• Develop a wider understanding of the effects of plain packaging for tobacco
• Gain insight into whether colours can be protected and registered as a trade mark
• Be familiar with measures regarding counterfeit goods and IP at EU borders
