March 2022
Event date: 19th May 2022
HGF is hosting a series of HGF Complete webinars this Spring.

Comparison of registered and unregistered design rights procedures before the EUIPO and UKIPO
A comparison of the registered and unregistered rights available for the protection of designs in the United Kingdom, Benelux and Germany. We will compare and contrast the rights which are available to design owners in those states and the EUIPO. What is the evidential burden in proving such rights and practical tips on enforcing them? We will also have a discussion of how unregistered design rights can be established in the EU and whether first disclosure is needed in the EU for such rights to be established.
Speakers
Alexander Hagen – Partner & Trade Mark Attorney
Pieter de Ruijter – Partner & Trade Mark Attorney
Jan Robert Naefe – Partner & Patent Attorney
Alastair Blake – Senior Patent Attorney
