The report of the ninth judges’ symposium organised by the Office for Harmonization of the Internal Market through the Observatory from 5 to 6 November 2015 is now available.
This ninth judges’ symposium went in depth into issues such as: the impact of trade marks with weak/ non-distinctive elements on likelihood of confusion; trade mark law and PDOs (protected designation of origin) and PGIs (protected geographical indication); IPR crime in the real and virtual worlds and publication of designs.
The judges’ symposium is a regular feature on the OHIM calendar taking place every two years. Participants include national judges and prosecutors who deal with criminal aspects of intellectual property rights.
