August ETMR now published

The August 2015 issue of the European Trade Mark Reports (ETMR), a series of law reports published monthly by Sweet & Maxwell, is now available. The ETMR contains English-language reports, together with informative headnotes, of recent decisions from national and EU courts and intellectual property offices.  

The ETMR usually contains reports on several decisions. This issue contains five cases,one from Ireland, one from the General Court and three from England and Wales. They include:
* Holyrood Publications Ltd v Professional Insurance Brokers Association, an Irish Opposition relating to an application to register THE BROKER for insurance and financial services in Class 16: was it made in bad faith? 
 
* Pinterest Inc v Premium Interest Ltd, an application for a stay of proceedings in which the court had to decide whether, among other things, possession of a Community trade mark might constitute a defence to an action for passing off.
* Whyte & Mackay Ltd v Origin Wine UK Ltd,  where an application to register the JURA ORIGIN mark for whisky in Class 33 had to overcome an opposition based on several Community and national registrations consisting of, or containing, the word ORIGIN for alcoholic beverages.
MARQUES members are again reminded that, if they have been involved in European trade mark litigation which is of significant interest, and if they can provide an English-language text of the full decision of the court, the ETMR will be delighted to consider it for publication.
