The Protection of Non-Traditional Trademarks Summary

The Protection of Non-Traditional Trademarks: Critical Perspectives by Martin Senftleben (Professor, Professor, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam)

This volume offers a detailed analysis of the issues related to the protection of non-traditional marks. In recent years, the domain of trademark law and the scope of trademark protection has grown exponentially. Today, a wide variety of non-traditional marks, including colour, sound, smell, and shape marks, can be registered in many jurisdictions. However, this expansion of trademark protection has led to heated discussions and controversies about the impact of the protection of non-traditional marks on freedom of competition and, more generally, on socially valuable use of these or similar signs in unrelated non-commercial contexts. These tensions have also led to increasing litigation in this area across several jurisdictions. This book provides an overview of the debate and state of the law surrounding non-traditional marks at the international, regional, and national level. In particular, this book addresses relevant international treaties administered by the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) and the Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects to Intellectual Property Rights (TRIPS) as well as several regional and national legislations and leading judicial decisions in order to examine current law and practice culminating in critical reflections and suggestions on the topic.

It is free to read at Oxford Scholarship Online and offered as a free PDF download from OUP and selected open access locations.

The Protection of Non-Traditional Trademarks Reviews

The increased flexibility of the application for registration together with developments in modern marketing has extended the scope of trade marks, both practically and philosophically. The Protection of Non-Traditional Trade Marks [...] serves to help us navigate the debate on these developments from a legal, economic and cultural perspective, it equips us with both empirical evidence and theoretical frameworks as the tools to do so [...] This book is a useful source for policymakers, trade mark examiners, trade mark attorneys, judges and researchers with an interest in trade marks. In particular, anyone wanting to keep abreast the current climate and future of the trade mark landscape in relation to non-traditional marks and branding. * Hayleigh Bosher, IPKAT *
