It has been the coldest days of the year where this Kat is based – perfect weather for looking into what other IP Blogs have been into recently:-
Copyright
The Kluwer Copyright Blog addressed the issue of moral rights in relation to artificial intelligence and copyright protection.
Katfriends who are also fashionistas should be well aware that it’s Fashion Week 2022! On this note, the Copyright Alliance wrote a post to give readers an overview on how fashion is protected under US copyright law.
Trade Marks
2021 was a record year of the EUIPO, having received almost 200,000 applications. It is noted that the number of EU trade mark applications filed in 2021 increased by nearly 12% according to data published by the EUIPO (here) and as reported by Marques’ CLASS 46 (here).
Speaking of Fashion Week, the most talked-about recent rebranding is Hugo Boss’ one, on which the Trademark Lawyer provided some background.
Patents
Reporting on the recent announcement by Blackberry to sell its non-core patent portfolio to Catapult IP Innovations Inc., the Patent Lawyer Magazine discussed whether IP asset deals are in fact a blessing or a curse.
