The intellectual property landscape is changing with significant legal developments across the globe. Amendments to the America Invents Act (AIA), a more activist Supreme Court, as well as a raft of anti-patent troll bills are affecting practice around patents in the US and globally. Meanwhile patent reform in Europe moves ahead with the Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court (UPC).
The debate around definition of a trade mark continues and recent trade mark dilution cases have provided interesting conclusions. In copyright, digital liability is still dominating and copyright legislation may soon be changing.
