Recent publications

The December 2008 issue of Sweet & Maxwell's European Trade Mark Reports has now been published. The ETMR's web page is here. Cases reported in this issue include

* Allergan Inc v Ocean Healthcare Ltd, the ruling of the Irish High Court that the defendants' BOTOINA cosmetic product infringed the plaintiff's BOTOX trade mark;

* The Italian Supreme Court ruling in Mega Bloks Inc v Lego System A/S, dealing with a complex set of claims and counterclaims involving trade mark law and unfair competition;

* Adidas-Salomoon AG v ALYSIDA A.E.B.E. t/a Strike, this being a decision of the Greek Supreme Court in relation to products bearing similar stripe motifs to that of the claimant, together with clearly different wordings.
Inspection copies of this publication are available from Jo Slinn here.


Issue 4/08 of Sweet & Maxwell's International Sports Law Review (details from web page here) contains an article by Terry Miller (General Counsel, London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games Ltd) on ambush marketing and Olympic brand protection.
