Details

Covers the law and practice of trade mark law in Ireland and under European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) and World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO), enabling readers to understand the basic legal principles and practical procedure surrounding the application, registration and enforcement of trade marks in these jurisdictions.

Written in a simple and comprehensible manner, this book is an introduction to the practice and procedure of trade marks in Ireland and on a pan-European level. Steering clear of confusing legal jargon, it explains the main trade mark principles clearly and concisely so that non-lawyers and lawyers alike will find the text accessible and highly practical.

The second edition of this title covers new legislation which has been enacted since the first edition, including:

Irish Trade Mark Act 1996 (as amended)
Irish Trade Mark Rules 1996 (as amended)
The Copyright and Other Intellectual Property Law Provisions Act 2019
The Public Health (Standardised Packaging of Tobacco) Act 2015

Galway Free Range Eggs Limited v O' Brien and Others [2016] IEHC 249
Nutrimedical BV & anor -v- Nualtra Limited [2016] IEHC 261; [2017] IEHC 253
Aldi v Dunnes Stores [2019] IESC 41
