Kerly's Law Of Trade Marks And Trade Names

Kerly's Law of Trade Marks and Trade Names provides you with a full and thorough analysis of trademark law, through a mix of analytical commentary, up-to-date case law and legislation from both the UK and Europe. The 1st Supplement to the 15th Edition brings this work fully up-to-date.

Updates in the new supplement: Chapter 4 is a brand new chapter on the classification of goods and services for trademark purposes. It analyses the structure and role of the Nice Classification and considers the repercussions of the IP Translator judgment of the CJEU. Chapter 6 highlights recent case law from the General Court regarding CTM procedure and examines in some depth the Commission's proposal to amend the Community Trade Mark Regulation.

In particular, the chapter looks critically at some of the proposed changes of terminology and at the proposed requirement to take into account the meaning of trademarks in "foreign" languages at the stage of absolute grounds examination.
