I'm excited to share that I'm writing a book on design law... "Reshaping the ‘informed user’ and ‘overall impression’ in design law: Between fiction and reality" - currently in progress and due to be delivered to Edward Elgar in 2027! 📖

Very much enjoyed the new bin lorry that visited my street this morning... I wonder what it reminded me of? 🤣 On doing a little bit of digging, it seems that there are some further, excellent trade mark-inspired versions of this lorry on the roads - see faun-zoeller.co.uk/products/rea...

Thanks, Sarah! I have more thoughts on this decision, particularly on what it says in terms of questioning whether or not lack of clarity is a ground for invalidation in UK law, but I think developing those thoughts is a task for the summer writing period!

👇 For UK design folks - a fascinating (and troubling) investigation into apparent misuse of the UK registered design system, looking firms that appear to be selling 'authorship' slots on UKRDs to overseas academics, to help those academics game their academic reputations (eg for promotion purposes).

On 23/102024, the General Court of the EU, for the first time, found a registered EU design consisting of views that are not conclusive invalid. While the result is beyond doubt the standards suggested to be applied are less persuasive as shown in my paper (just accepted).

Design lawyers - the survey response deadline is today but this is no April fools day joke! The UKIPO designs consultation suggests major changes to the subject matter that might be protectable as a design. Make sure to respond if you can!

Would you confuse LINDOR with ALDI’s MOSER ROTH? Well, 25% of the Swiss public would associate one with the other according to a poll submitted by LINDT and endorsed by a 31-page verdict (Aargau Commercial Court, 14/12/2024; HSU.2024.50) including 60 footnotes! decwork.ag.ch/api/main/v1/...

👇Design law folks - don't forget the current UKIPO design survey (deadline 1 April). It looks as if it is mostly about procedure/cost, but right at the end it pops in a *major* question about revising the definition of 'design' in very significant ways! www.gov.uk/government/c...

Just to say, not sure where they got that quote: none of the UKIPO decision or the High Court or the Court of Appeal judgments use the word 'drastic'... The Court of Appeal decision is, overall, a pretty dry ruling on the regulations governing use of the term 'milk' www.bailii.org/ew/cases/EWC...
