Brexit is coming, a brand owner's checklist

On 21 October 2020 we hosted a webinar which looked at Brexit's impact on brand protection and brand management.

The webinar was led by Sebastian Fischoeder, based at Taylor Wessing's Dusseldorf office, and Roland Mallinson and Louise Popple from Taylor Wessing's London office. They considered what practical steps brand owners should be taking in relation to managing their trade mark portfolios, as well as what impact Brexit will have on current and future disputes and trade mark-related agreements. This involved a discussion around:

• Portfolio management, looking at the latest UKIPO and EUIPO announcements 
• Jurisdictional issues for brand disputes, including with UK-based claimants and EU27-based defendants or vice versa 
• Drafting of common brand-related agreements including jurisdiction clauses

If you have any queries about how this applies to you, please contact the speakers.
