Practical guidance for comparing goods and services

The outcome of the comparison of goods and services can often be the deciding factor as to whether a trade mark opposition or invalidity case is successful.

In this webinar we will therefore go over:

• EUIPO’s practice when deciding if the goods and services are identical, similar or dissimilar;
• how you can use the available support tools and sources when comparing goods and services;
• the key points you should consider when comparing goods and services (scope of protection of terms, evidence etc.).

This webinar is for you, particularly if you are a professional representative or party involved in drafting submissions for inter partes proceedings before the EUIPO with at least an intermediate knowledge in the field of trade marks.
