Program
Description
This webinar will provide a grounding discussion regarding EU design law
and some of the differences with U.S. design patent law. The session will cover
what subject matter is protectable, the validity tests of "novelty"
and "individual character," the exclusion for "solely dictated
by technical function," registered (25 years) and unregistered (3 years)
Community design rights, and enforcement. The webinar will also touch on some
of the similarities and differences with the Community Trade Mark regime.
