Brexit and IP - The Story So Far
14th May 2020
BACFI held its first online webinar via Zoom kindly sponsored and hosted by Hardwicke Chambers with four eminent speakers of barristers Professor Mark Engelman of Hardwicke Chambers and Michael Bilewycz of Decisis Intellectual Property, solicitor James Mitchiner of Mitchiners Solicitors, and CEO and menswear designer Simon Carter. We did have some technical glitches and some interruptions due to some lines being unmuted and it did run over time, so please accept our apologies, However, on the whole, the event seemed to go well.
Mark spoke about the Unified Patents Regime and why it was better than the European Patent Regime, he looked at the German and English blockades and how he sees the future. Michael spoke about how the UK had originally implemented the EU Trade Marks Directive 2008 and how trademark law will continue going forward after Brexit. James spoke about the EU Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single [EU] Market, the EC Directive on the protection of designs and the European Union (Withdrawal Act 2018. Simon Carter, as a businessman, gave us the real practical issues design businesses are now encountering with Brexit, with the added costs and time to duplicate registrations in both the UK and the EU plus the issues of enforcement. All speakers gave a very full and detailed account of their subject areas and their in-depth knowledge shone through together with their enthusiasm for their subject matter.
BACFI would like to thank all our speakers and Hardwicke Chambers for kindly sponsoring and hosting this event.
