Registered Trade Marks
• Application for registration must be filed on a national or regional trade mark office
• When a trade mark is registered: – the proprietor shall have the exclusive right to use the mark in relation to
the categories of goods and services for which it is registered– it extends to similar marks and similar goods/services in circumstances
where the similiarity is likely to lead to confusion in the market place– it may extend beyond the precise categories of goods and services for
which it has been registered

Common Law Trade Marks
• When a person developes a reputation, this gives raise to a common law trademark which is protected by the legal mechanism named “passing off”
• Passing off is a cause of legal action in Anglosaxon IP law. It also referred to as “unregistered trade mark” which is an alternative way of implementing unfair competition law in the UK

Passing off (1)
• If a business does not have a registered trade mark or is unable to obtain a registered trade mark (e.g. if the name is too descriptive to qualify for trade mark registration) the law of passing off may protect a brand
• For passing-off action the claimant must show:
– goodwill or reputation– misrepresentation– damage

Passing off (4)
• Damage– a real and tangible probability of damage is sufficient– two common heads of damage are (not exhaustive):
• in case of competition between the claimant and the defendant, the claimant would lose sales
• if the defendant’s goods or services are inferior in quality the claimant may suffer a loss of business opportunity

Unregistered Trade Marks in Continental Europe
• It is also possible to base an opposition on an unregistered trade mark, provided the national law of the country where the trade mark is used allows the owner to prohibit the use of a subsequent national trade mark.

Necessity Of Unregistered Design
• Particular industries support unregistered designs: – textile industry
• necessity of quick protection due to their short marketlife
– fashion industry • necessity of quick protection due to seasonal or
short life products

Advantages and Disadvantages
• Advantages:– free and quick protection
• Disadvantages:– uncertainty– a third form of protection– copying only

• Basis of protection is the same for both RCD and UCD– it must be new– it must have “individual character”
• Main differences between RCD and UCD – degree of protection: need to prove copying for UCD– duration: 3 years UCD (5-25 RCD)– automatic protection
