Trade Marks

Review of the Year

This publication comments on the trends and changes in UK and European trade mark law.

Review of UK & European Trade Marks Cases

Introduction

Yet again in 2024, Skykick featured heavily with the Supreme Court handing down their judgment in November and we look at what this might mean for bad faith challenges moving forward.

The year also saw the next chapter in the supermarket battle over a yellow circle and the appeal in Thatchers Cider issued just before we went to press. We have included this important decision which will be pleasing news to consumer brand owners in their battles with copycat products. There were many other cases which are interesting for different reasons, not all ground breaking but which help illustrate the issues facing those managing trade mark issues for their clients and companies.

All in all an interesting year in the world of trade marks and we hope that you enjoy the read.
