With interesting developments last year such as AI content and which current legislations can be used to protect the IP, acquiescence becoming a defence adopted more easily in the UK and EU and the risk in delaying claims becoming more evident, trade marks law looks set for a fascinating year ahead.
The publication now in its 14th edition sets out to cover practical questions within the trade marks law topic across 26 jurisdictions, providing indispensable information from leading legal minds for the benefit of you, the Readers. There are also deep dives into some of the developing topics through Expert Analysis contributions from Bird & Bird and McAndrews, Held & Malloy.
Between the ever-changing geopolitical environment and the expected increase in trade mark filing fees, the next few years will undoubtedly continue to see huge developments for this sector, making this publications importance greater now more than ever. As always, this publication has been written by leading trade mark lawyers and industry specialists, for whose invaluable contributions the editors and publishers are extremely grateful. I would also like to extend special thanks to contributing editor Nick Aries from Bird & Bird for his leadership, support and expertise in bringing this project to fruition.
