"Use" is a concept which is fundamental to modern trade mark law, within the European Union, the US and elsewhere. The use concept is ubiquitous, since it must be understood before even basic issues of registrability, infringement and validity can be resolved. This book analyses the concept of "use" in trade mark law by tracing it at every stage of a trade mark's lifecycle. Topics covered include The Concept of Use, Registration, Exploitation, Infringement, and Death of a Trademark. It focuses primarily on European trade mark law, but also examines key aspects of US and international law. It is an invaluable information source if you or your client: (i) want to register a trade mark; (ii) are accused of infringing it; (iii) want to prove that, through use, the mark is entitled to remain on the register; (iv) want to make money from using the mark and (v) want to argue that another person's mark should not remain registered.

Trade Marks at the Limit is a collection of current, informed and original essays on different aspects of a topic that unites trade mark owners, practitioners and potential infringers alike - the fine borderline that separates permitted use of another business's trade mark from a use that constitutes trade mark infringement. This important and groundbreaking book first examines the international legal framework for regulating unauthorised use of the trade marks of others. Then writers from both sides of the Atlantic and from Australia look at the practical problems and conceptual issues that the courts face in striking a balance between the needs of trade mark owners, their competitors, businesses that provide downstream services, and also consumers. The authors address industry-specific issues involving the financial services sector and consumer goods as well as problems raised by comparative advertising, the need to protect free speech, the problems faced when dealing with non-traditional trade marks and the special case of multilingual jurisdictions. Authored by leading legal practitioners and consultants in related sectors, Trade Marks at the Limit is the first book to bring these issues together under the banner of permitted but unauthorised trade mark use.
