Well-known trade mark protection: confusion in EU and Japan
No full textIn this thesis concerning the protection of well-known trade marks against confusion in the European Community Trade Mark (CTM) and Japanese trademark systems, the author critically considers the difficulties in comprehensively defining ‘well-known trade mark’ in the relevant international trade mark instruments. After critical analysis of various definitions of both ‘trade mark’ and ‘well-known trade mark’, she undertakes a comparison of the definitions of the parallel concepts of ‘trade mark of repute’ and ‘syuchi-syohyo’, and also undertakes an assessment as to the extent to which these trade marks are protected against confusion and kondo in the CTM and Japanese systems, respectively. It is concluded that the protection of well- known trade marks against confusion in the CTM and Japan cannot be said to be completely clear, and the author identifies some areas for legal refor
Shifting Patterns in Marks and Registration: France, the United States and United Kingdom, 1870-1970
No full textThis paper looks at trademarks and brands, beyond the conventional interests of marketing and law, as a way to explaining the evolution of international business and economies in general. It shows that the perspective defended by many scholars such as Chandler (1990), Wilkins (1991, 1994) and Koehn’ (2001), about the Anglo-Saxon countries, and in particular the United States, leading the transition to modern trade-marks is narrow in its focus. Instead of the United States standing out as historically on the leading edge of innovation in the law and practice of trade marking, it appears from several directions to have been on the trailing edge. France and Britain have a more enduring interest in trademarking. The paper also looks at one particular subset of trade mark registration data – non durable consumer goods. These, and in particular food, are the dominant sectors in the three countries in terms of trademarking, reflecting the character of the sectors where imagery associated with the products is so central in competition. The paper relies on original data from three countries, France, the United Kingdom and the United States, in particular trade mark registrations, and the analysis spans for a period of one hundred years period 1870-1970.trade marks, brands, international business history, intellectual property rights, trademark law

An exploration of the effects of group summative assessment marking on higher education students’ overall marks
No full textGroupwork and group summative assessment (GSA) are important learning, teaching and assessment methods used by many educational institutions, not just universities. The differences between the marks that HEI students were awarded for their own independent individual summative assessment (IISA) work and their GSA marks were explored.
The study topic presented itself while the author was contemplating studying for a first degree, when it became apparent that group working and group summative assessment was included in summative assessment methods used in the chosen programme.
Three data sources were from UK undergraduates and graduates, and one was from Australian PG students. Module marks data were collected from over 4000 HE students. They were divided into eighteen faculty/year data sets from four HEI sources.
A systematic difference was found between the distributions of GSA and IISA marks, supporting Lejk et al. (1999). Lower IISA ability students scored higher in GSA modules than in IISA modules. Higher IISA ability students scored lower in GSA modules.
In addition, the mean GSA mark was higher than the mean IISA mark. The standard deviation of the GSA marks was lower than the SD of the IISA marks. Both of these findings support Downie (2001). The relationship was found to vary between the data sets, modules, assessment items and especially between faculties.
The results and conclusions from this study will empower stakeholders, enabling them to be better informed in their choice of first-degree study programmes. They will also allow the use and impact of GSA to be more transparent and better understood, leading to further research and improvement in practice
Cluttering and Non-Use of Trade Marks in Europe
No full textYou may re-use this information (excluding logos) free of charge in any format or medium, under the terms of the Open Government Licence.The 2011 “Study on the Overall Functioning of the European Trade Mark System” by the Max Planck Institute was commissioned by the European Commission and presented survey-based evidence that UK trade mark attorneys/agents perceive the existence of marks on registers that are partly or wholly unused by their owners – so called “cluttering” - to be a problem. Following on from that study, the UK’s IPO was keen to better understand the extent of cluttering within the UK and European register. IPO therefore commissioned this report on cluttering and non-use of trade marks in Europe in late 2013 with the objective of building evidence to inform debate on the prevalence of trade marks that are partially or wholly unused by their owners. It is equally important to note what this study does not purport to do. This study does not investigate causal relationships to explain how non-use arises. It does not examine the monetised economic impacts (the costs and benefits) of the current systems for participants. Nor does this study aim to determine whether an ex officio requirement for submission of proof of use is cost-effective. Rather, it shows that there are noticeable differences between US and European registers in the number of goods claimed for the same mark. Further research would be needed to examine whether unused trade mark registrations can increase search costs, and whether imposition of proof of use tests ex officio may be useful or unacceptably burdensome
