Brexit: the immense impact on trademark and design law
The first dust has settled following the UK’s vote in favour of leaving the EU and one thing has become clear despite concerns about uncertainty: the impact on EU trademark and design law will be immense. It goes far beyond what is predicted for many other areas of law. Even more important, owners of trademarks and designs may have to reconsider their current strategies before Brexit has been executed. This is particularly true for filing strategies that mainly rely on European Union trademarks (EUTMs) and registered Community designs (RCDs).
