Dentons Rodyk Academy IP Seminar Series:
Recent Developments - IP Law, IP Tax Planning and Data Privacy
Trade Marks/Passing Off

Synopsis

About this session - Trade Marks/Passing off:

It is all fire and fury in the world of trade marks and passing off in 2017. As a transhipment (and IP) hub, trade mark proprietors in Singapore found out that it was not easy to protect their trade marks as against counterfeit goods passing through Singapore’s ports. The marks-similarity test also reared its ugly head as the Court of Appeal, High Court and IPOS reached different conclusions on Julius Caesar in a matter that had spanned 10 years! In UK and EU, trade mark proprietors of EU trademarks will soon be the latest victims of Brexit. How do trade mark proprietors navigate the landscape post-Brexit? Join Dentons Rodyk as we navigate the tough terrains of trade mark developments in 2017, and how your businesses can take steps to ensure maximum protection for your brands in Singapore and abroad.
