A complete guide, whatever your level of experience

At 700 pages - more than double the length of the first edition - this updated and greatly expanded second edition serves any trade mark practitioner conducting contentious matters in the UK.

Michael Edenborough KC wrote it with two aims in mind. For new practitioners, it provides a comprehensive introduction to the practice and procedure before the UK registry, across both contested ex parte and inter partes matters. For established attorneys, it offers detailed guidance on the more rarified issues that arise in a fully disputed matter.

This edition includes far more case law and discussion on every issue, covers many more advanced scenarios, quotes all the principal rules, and reproduces the text of most Tribunal Practice Notices for ready reference.

It covers:

  • drafting statements of case in opposition, revocation, invalidity and rectification proceedings
  • preparing and presenting evidence
  • handling interim applications
  • conducting hearings
  • appealing to the Appointed Person and High Court
  • the awarding of costs
  • prematurely ending and settling proceedings

Written by a leading practitioner

Michael Edenborough KC brings unrivalled experience to this work. He has appeared in several hundred trade mark matters before the UK registry and in many tens of appeals before the Appointed Person and the High Court. He continues to be instructed in matters before the General Court and CJEU, having handled more than fifty such cases, and his practice spans all aspects of IP law and procedure.

Don't miss out

The offer runs until 31st July, so we'd encourage you to order soon. Want to know more first? Read Michael Edenborough KC explaining what's new in his article 'Bigger and better', or browse the contents to see the full coverage.
