About the Webinar
Owners of intellectual property allegedly infringed by a third party have other options to prevent damage to their brands and reputation, particularly if unable to rely on the protection of registration or copyright law. This session will explore the availability and practical implications of using these alternatives, including:
- Immediate steps to take when becoming aware of a potential infringement – when is an injunction justified?
- What should be in a letter of demand?
- When is it appropriate to consider a passing off action or consumer law action?
- Applying the misleading and deceptive conduct provisions to intellectual property – key elements of section 18, including:
- how important is reputation?
- does intent need to be proved?
- When is a representation false and misleading under the consumer law?
- How effective is a disclaimer in avoiding an infringement claim?
- What amounts to “passing off”? Lessons from cases and examples
