Wake up to dormant marks

Today's INTA programme features a sesssion (11.45am to 1pm) on "Dormant marks" -- trade marks that have been duly registered but which sleep soundly on the register, often for more five years or more, and sometimes waking up to cause trouble for a subsequent application or later-registered trade mark. This session, moderated by Verena von Bomhard (Lovells), also features contributions from Giovanni Casucci, Michael Ritscher, Ekkehard Stolz and IPKat team member Jeremy, who hopes to report on the conclusions of this session in due course.
