Upcoming Events

Kick-Off Meetings for the Study Questions at the 2021 Congress

Webinars

The topics (and AIPPI UK Council Members responsible for leading the questions) are:

· PATENTS: Q276 - Inventiveness and sufficiency of disclosure in AI inventions (led by Peter Finnie);

· TRADE MARKS: Q277 - Registrability of trade marks against public order or morality (led by Ashley Roughton);

· DESIGNS: Q278 - Industrial Designs and the Role of Prior Art (led by Arthur Artinian); and

· REMEDIES: Q279- Reasonable awareness in compensation for infringement of IP rights (led by Richard Vary).

Copies of the study questions are here.

As usual, we will be holding a kick-off meeting at which the question leader and group will discuss the main points that the question raises for UK practitioners, consider proposals for harmonisation and reform, and plan the further preparation of the UK response.

This year the meeting will take place virtually, and there will be a separate meeting for each question. Each meeting will start at 6pm and last for approximately 2 hours. Those interested in participating are requested to choose only one question / meeting. The dates of the kick-off meetings, and links for registering to attend via Eventbrite are as follows:

• DESIGNS: Tuesday 2 February at 6pm (link)

• TRADE MARKS: Thursday 4 February at 6pm (link)

• REMEDIES: Monday 8 February at 6pm (link)

• PATENTS: Thursday 11 February at 6pm (link)

Twenty places are available for each meeting on a first-come-first-served basis. Those successful in their registrations will receive in the days prior to the meeting a link to join the meeting using a suitable video conferencing platform. If you cannot attend the meeting, but would like to participate in work on the questions, please contact secretary@aippi.org.uk.

Each launch meeting is free and is open to members and non-members. Continued involvement after that will be limited to members, or those with pending applications for membership.
