During the lifecycle of protecting a good idea, enforcing trademark rights can become an issue on a global scale. Knowing the ways to enforce those rights around the world is vital to any successful plan to protect the good idea. Therefore, in the next installment of our Lifecycle of a Smart Idea series, we will take a close look at the evidence needed to win a trademark case in the courts in Canada, UK, Europe, China, Singapore, and the UAE, respectively. We will also cover both common law and civil law practice, as well as statutory and common law rights, as may be relevant in such cases.
Members of Gowling WLG's Global IP team will address the following questions:
- What evidence does a plaintiff need to lead with to win a case?
- What are the significant differences between enforcing common law rights and statutory rights in the trademark?
- What about enforcing those rights in a civil law proceeding?
- How does a plaintiff handle various defences raised by the defendant?
- Who has what burdens of proof in a trademark case?
Post-webinar breakout rooms
Immediately following the webinar, we invite you to join our panellists in virtual breakout rooms where you will have the opportunity to ask direct questions and participate in a discussion with other attendees.
