What is Trademark Law?
The Trade Marks Act 1994 (as amended) covers the registration of trademarks and the protection of registered trademarks in the United Kingdom.
The International Property Office administers the Trade Marks Act 1994 in accordance with the detailed Trade Marks Rules, which came into force on the 1st October 2008.
Including the Trade Marks Act 1994, 5 key pieces of legislation deal with Intellectual property crime:
- Trade Marks Act 1994
- Copyright, Designs and Patent Act 1988
- Registered Designs Act 1949
- Video Recordings Act 2010
- Fraud Act 2006
These cover offences such as the unauthorised use of a trade mark, the unauthorised copying of design in the course of business, fraud by false representation.
Trademark Law, naturally, has common ground with Intellectual Property Law, which barristers at St Pauls Chambers can also advise on.
At St Pauls our barristers can assist with such cases as the unauthorised use of a trade mark, copying of design in the course of business, and fraud by false representation.
