Something remarkable has happened to my NIPC Law blog.  Its readership has soared like a rocket. For the first time ever, it has received more than 100,000 hits in a single month.

This is not entirely unexpected I have tried to publish a short post on something new every day whether a case note on a recent decision, an analysis of a new statute or some other important development.  Although I hope my articles will be useful to specialist lawyers and patent and trade mark attorneys I am aware that not every reader is an IP specialist.  Indeed, many are not lawyers at all.

For non-specialists, I have posted information pages on copyright, patents, registered and unregistered designs, trade marks and so on    These can be accessed from the home page of the NIPC Law blog, clicking on the menu bar in the top left-hand corner (three short lines) and scrolling down. Readers will also notice links to my most recent articles in the "What's New" section, special topics like "Branding", "Brexit" and "FinTech" just below "What's New" and articles of interest to readers in different regions in specialist publications like "IP Yorkshire" and "NIPC Wales."

Wherever you are you on any of my blogs you can return to the home page with the menu bar by clicking the "home" tab at the far left of every menu bar. Simple really, isn't it?  If you want to discuss an article or consult me you can get in touch by filling in the simple contact form. If you are thinking of instructing me you can find out about my skills and experience from by clicking "Profile". You can find out about my services by clicking "Services" and how to instruct me by clicking the "Instructing me" link.

Should you have any questions, you can call me on +44 (0)20 7404 5252 during normal British office hours.

IP and Brexit: the Fashion Industry

Image
Jane Lambert Our IP system, which is ranked by TaylorWessing as one of the best in the world (see The Global Intellectual Property Index ) consists of some rights that subsist under national law and others that subsist under EU law. When we eventually leave the EU, those rights that subsist under EU law such as the EU trade mark and the Community design will fall away. I discussed those consequences generally in What Sort of IP Framework do we need after Brexit and what are we likely to get?   3 July 2016. In this article I consider how those changes will affect the British fashion industry which relies on EU trade marks and Community designs more than most. I have chosen this industry because I have conducted seminars on IP and fashion in London and Leeds (see  IP and Fashion Law   12 Sept 2015 London IP and Tech,  IP and Fashion Seminar - 7 Oct 2015   20 Sept 2015 and  Second Course on IP and the Fashion Industry   27 May 2016), ...

The Summer School took place at Downing College between Monday 12 Aug and Friday 16 Aug 3035.
