Trade Mark Use

This book analyses the concept of "use" in trade mark law by tracing it at every stage of a trade mark's lifecycle. Topics covered include The Concept of Use, Registration, Exploitation, Infringement, and Death of a Trademark. It focuses primarily on European trade mark law, but also examines key aspects of US and international law.

It is an invaluable information source if you or your client: (i) want to register a trade mark; (ii) are accused of infringing it; (iii) want to prove that, through use, the mark is entitled to remain on the register; (iv) want to make money from using the mark and (v) want to argue that another person's mark should not remain registered.
