AdvertisementMcDonald's will no longer have the right to call its chicken burgers Big Macs in the European Union following a landmark ruling by one of the trading bloc's top courts. On Wednesday, the Luxembourg-based General Court ruled against the fast-food giant and in favor of Supermac's, an Irish takeaway chain. The case centered on a 2017 application that Supermac's made to the European Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) to remove its American rival's "Big Mac" trademark.

Maradona secured an EU trademark to his name for clothing, footwear, hospitality and IT services in 2008. The EU patent agency in a decision last year said Sattvica had not submitted documents confirming the transfer of the trademark to the company. Sattvica then took its case to the Luxembourg-based General Court, Europe's second highest. Sattvica can appeal to the EU Court of Justice, Europe's top court. The case is T-299/22 | Sattvica v EUIPO – Maradona and Others (DIEGO MARADONA).

REUTERS/Henry RomeroBRUSSELS, June 7 (Reuters) - Caped crusader Batman won a trademark fight with an Italian clothing retailer on Wednesday after Europe's second-top court sided with an EU patent office, ruling that the Batman logo is distinctive enough to warrant its EU trademark. The Italian company had asked EUIPO to annul the trademark for clothing and carnival items, saying that it lacked a distinctive character. Judges backed the EU trademark body. The Italian company can appeal to the EU Court of Justice, Europe's highest, on points of law. The case is T-735/21 | Aprile and Commerciale Italiana v EUIPO – DC Comics (Representation of a bat in an oval surround).

☆ EU sets out patent rules for smart technology to limit law suits
  + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( Philip Blenkinsop | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
SEPs protect technology such as for 5G, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth that is needed by equipment producers to comply with international standards. Under the proposals from the European Union executive, patent holders in the fields of telecoms, computers, payment terminals and other smart technology, will be required to register their essential patents with the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The EU proposal also includes a new supplementary protection certificate to extend a patent by five years for pharmaceutical or plant protection products. This would complement the EU unitary patent that will be launched on June 1. The rules need to be agreed with EU countries and the European Parliament before they can become law and may be amended.
☆ Nokia says draft EU patent rules one-sided, will undermine Europe
  + stars: | 2023-04-25 | by ( Foo Yun Chee | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +2 min
BRUSSELS, April 25 (Reuters) - EU draft rules aimed at staving off spats over patents essential to key technologies for telecoms equipment and connected cars appear to put the onus and cost on patent owners, which could undermine Europe's leadership in such areas, Nokia said. Under the proposal seen by Reuters, patent holders are required to register their patents with the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) if they want to charge patent fees or take legal action. The proposal is unbalanced and ignores a key problem for patent owners, said Nokia's (NOKIA.HE) head of IP policy Collette Rawnsley. "The leaked draft regulation appears one-sided with additional obligations, burdens and costs falling on SEP owners rather than implementers," she told Reuters in an interview. She said Europe, currently home to leaders in cellular standards, could even lose its lead under the draft rules.

Some standards entail thousands of essential patents, and their owners are required to offer licenses on fair and reasonable terms. The EUIPO should administer the procedure," said the European Commission document seen by Reuters on Tuesday. The draft regulation requires EUIPO to set up a register of standard essential patents (SEP) and companies to sign up if they want to charge patent fees or take legal action. European Commission Vice President Margrethe Vestager is scheduled to announce the draft regulation on April 26, according to a Commission agenda. The draft rules need to be agreed with EU countries and the European Parliament before they can become law.

Standard-essential patents cover technology that devices must include to comply with international standards like 4G, Wi-Fi and USB. Some standards entail thousands of essential patents, and their owners are required to offer licenses on fair and reasonable terms. "The FRAND determination procedure should simplify and speed up negotiations concerning FRAND terms and reduce costs. FRAND (fair, reasonable and nondiscriminatory) terms are often used in relation to technical standards that are developed through an industry-led standardisation process. "This is necessary because disagreements about the FRAND terms are the main reason to seek recourse in courts," the document said.
