This webinar will present the results of the CP11 and CP12 working groups.
In relation to CP11 you will learn:
• how to examine the formal requirements for sound, motion, multimedia and hologram marks;
• how to consider when these new types of trade marks will be considered clear and precise, distinctive or descriptive;
• how to assess when a sound, a movement or a combination of image and sound can result from the nature of the goods, can be necessary to obtain a technical result, or can give substantial value to the goods;
• how to compare, from a visual, aural and conceptual point of view, these new types of trade marks, and how to compare them with other types of trade marks.
In relation to CP12 you will learn:
• about the types, means and sources of evidence, including online evidence;
• how to determine the date when particular evidential content was published;
• how to structure and present evidence, including market surveys;
• about the treatment of confidentiality requests regarding evidence.
