In a recent post on law.pl, Dr. Michal Markiewicz, together with Ewelina Bosek, write about the word and figurative mark of the renowned Rolex. They point to an interesting decision of the (EU) Court, which resulted in the acceptance of the registration of a mark using a very similar crown – why did the Court allow it? How to protect a reputable mark? We invite you to read. “5 minutes about IP” is a joint initiative of Markiewicz & Sroczynski GP and Wolters Kluwer Polska, entirely devoted to issues related to intellectual property law (i.e.: copyright, industrial property and combating unfair competition). The “5 minutes about IPR” texts will appear at least twice a month. The premise here is to take you 5 minutes to pay attention to something we are passionate about and you will be interested in. The articles will therefore be short, clear and, if possible, also “illustrated”. We would like “5 Minutes on IPR” to become a source of knowledge about important changes and rulings, an inspiration for discussion, and a source of new, including controversial, interpretive ideas. Above all, however, we hope that it will be simply interesting.
