About this event

What have been the most recent significant decisions of the EUIPO Boards of Appeal, and what are their implications for the construction of EU trade mark law? You are cordially invited to discuss all this during the guest lecture by Mr Gordon Humphreys, Chairman of the EUIPO 5th Board of Appeal, which will be held on Thursday, 12 December, from 15:00 to 17:00 at Hörsal 11 in Stockholm University ("Södra husen").

European Trade Mark Law has come a long way since the launching of the Community Trade Mark System. The applicable Regulations are the primary source of law, but are complemented by the case law of the Boards of Appeal and that of the General Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union. This corpus of jurisprudence sheds light on the interpretation and lacunae left by the Regulations. This lecture focuses on a review of some of the recent case law of the Boards of Appeal dealing with both absolute and relative ground of refusal.

Mr Humphreys will present on relevant case law and a panel of Stockholm-based legal professionals will comment on the relevant impact on EU and Swedish trade mark practice. Confirmed panellists include: Gabriel Lidman (Bird & Bird), Nina Barzey (Bonde Barzey), David Leffler (Cirio), My Byström (Synch), and Martin Berger (PRV)

Attendance to this event, which is part of the LLM in European IP Law at Stockholm University, is free but registration is required.
