  • Winner of Voted IPKAT Best Book on Trade Mark Law 2019.

Overview

Historically, likelihood of confusion has been the core infringement test for trade mark law, and it remains the most frequently applied test in infringement actions by far. However, there are noticeable differences in how it is applied by the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU), the General Court, and national courts; and questionable outcomes when it is applied in novel situations. This book is the first comprehensive and systematic account of the confusion test within the harmonised European trade mark system. It considers how the test is applied by national trade mark registries across EU member states, by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), by national courts, and by the CJEU. It offers practical guidance, while also evaluating the viability of more recent developments such as initial-interest confusion, post-sale confusion and consumer responses to uses of trade marks on the internet. The book analyses three distinct strata of legal doctrine: the decisions of the CJEU, including the General Court; the extensive body of decisions by EUIPO; and the application of harmonised trade mark law by courts of member states, focusing on leading decisions as well as wayward ones. It also draws upon the legal position in the US to illuminate these issues.

Reviews

This is an important study that provides a detailed account of the test for confusion in European trade mark law. The long experience of the authors in thinking and writing about trade mark law shines through in every chapter and the result is a sophisticated account of the state of the law that is theoretically informed as well as comprehensive in its coverage. * Robert Burrell, Professor of Intellectual Property & Information Technology Law, University of Oxford and Professor of Law, Melbourne Law School *
