Join authors from Comparative Global Design Law, recently published by Bloomberg, to discuss important updates in design law. Practitioners who frequently file for design rights in Europe and the United States will learn broadly about how rights are viewed in the EU, the UK, and the US, and then hear from local counsel about the most important recent updates.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Overview of Comparative Global Design Law, with five crucial distinctions to understand when filing design rights worldwide
- Recent updates to US practice, including changes associated with title amendments, possible solutions to USPTO printing issues, and the role of secondary considerations in design patent obviousness analysis
- Update on the effect of Brexit on UK designs, including how EU design rights will be cloned in the UK, following Brexit, and the introduction of new UK Supplementary Unregistered Design rights
- Important differences between US and EU design law, including unregistered rights, and the EU spare parts and repair clause
