Latest Articles
Welcome to the July 2009 edition of Shepherd and Wedderburn's Intellectual Property E-Bulletin.
In this edition of the Intellectual Property E-Bulletin we provide an update on the most recent developments in the trade mark dispute surrounding Lindt's chocolate bunnies and examine a recent case concerning folding loft stairs that deals with what constitutes a disclosure to the public capable of affecting the validity of a patent.
We also take a look at the important difference between an idea and the expression of that idea in relation to copyright as a result of two high profile disputes concerning "The Catcher in the Rye" and "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" respectively and we stay in the world of entertainment for our final article in which we focus on a defeat for James Bond in a trade mark related dispute concerning his original arch-nemesis Dr No.
