Class 46 - for your European trade mark news

Now in its sixth year, Class 46 is dedicated to European trade mark law and practice. This weblog is written by a team of enthusiasts who want to spread the word and share their thoughts with others.


	THURSDAY, 29 JANUARY 2009 Recent publication: la Revue des Marques Issue #65 of La Revue des Marques was just released. As always this publication is interesting from a legal as well as from a marketing point of view. Some of the featured articles by Jean Watin-Augouard, the renown specialist of trade marks history, are centered on iconic European brands: Nespresso, l'icône mondiale du café parfait Ariel, ange gardien depuis 40 ans Toblerone, une montagne de saveur depuis cent ans Francophone readers might also appreciate browsing the archives for all trade marks sagas published in La Revue des Marques (from issue #1) on the editor's website.
