TY - GEN N2 - Concise European Trade Mark and Design Law aims to offer a rapid understanding of the provisions of trademark and design law in force in the European Union (EU). In an increasingly globalized and diversified marketplace, the importance of brands and their effective legal protection across country borders and regions is ever growing. In the past twenty years, trademarks and designs have become truly European. The expansion of the EU, from fifteen Member States in 1996 to twenty-eight at present, has triggered further discussion of pan-European trademark and design protection, its requirements and limitations, and even twenty years of case law of the Court of Justice of the EU have left – or in fact opened – many questions on the interpretation of the law. This book, one of the series of volumes of commentaries on European intellectual property legislation, provides information on the judgments of the relevant case law of the EU and also incorporates new case law since the publication of its first edition.
