Trademarks
2 October 2019 Street artist Banksy was “forced” to set up a homeware shop in south London to establish use of his IP, after his ‘flower bomber’ mark was threatened by a cancellation proceeding at the European Union Intellectual Property Office.
Copyright
26 August 2015 Banksy’s “Dismaland” exhibition may avoid infringing Disney’s intellectual property rights thanks to UK copyright provisions that legalise some parodies, but a trademark application may yet prove troublesome, lawyers have claimed.
